Main EQ Control Surface
The heart of CurveEQ is the equalizer control surface with a built-in real-time
spectrum analyzer.
• To add a control point, double-click the curve.
• To delete a control point, double-click it.
The picture above shows the equalizer control surface with control points that can be
dragged with the left mouse button to adjust the filter’s gain and frequency. For more
precise adjustments, hold [Shift] while dragging.
The readouts show the mouse cursor position within the display, the musical note and
detune in cents that correspond to the frequency position, and the mouse cursor
position within the spectrum power range.
If two or three curves are displayed, a white curve shows the summary frequency
response of all currently enabled filters.
While dragging a control point with the left mouse button, you can adjust the filter’s
bandwidth by additionally holding the right mouse button or pressing [Alt]/[Option].
Alternatively, you can use the mouse wheel to adjust the filter’s bandwidth.
• To enable the gain adjustment only, press [Ctrl]/[Command] while dragging a
point.
• To enable frequency adjustment only, press [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Alt]/[Option].
• To set a control point to 0 dB, press [Ctrl]/[Command], and double-click it.
MIN-Phase Enables minimum-phase filtering instead of linear-phase filtering.
Minimum-phase filtering sounds better at steeper EQ slopes
because it lacks pre-ringing artifacts present in linear-phase filters.
Furthermore, it does not add a considerable processing latency.
Static & Match Opens the Static Spectrums Editor, where you can display static
spectrums and perform spectrum matching. Spectrum matching
allows you to match the spectrum shape of a sound recording to
that of another sound recording.
Mode selector Allows you to select a mode for spectrum matching, see “Spectrum
Matching” on page 50.
Edit Opens the Spectrum Mode Editor, see “Spectrum Mode Editor” on
page 51.
