The Mixer
You can also select a channel manually (thereby changing
what is shown in the open Channel Settings window).
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Channel Settings window for any channel.
2. Open the “Choose Edit Channel” pop-up menu by
clicking the arrow button to the left of the channel number
at the top of the Fader view.
3. Select a channel from the pop-up menu to show the
settings for that channel in the open Channel Settings
window.
• Alternatively, you can select a channel in the Mixer by
clicking its channel strip (make sure not to click on a con-
trol as this will change the respective parameter setting
instead).
This selects the channel, and the Channel Settings window is updated.
• To open several Channel Settings windows at the same
time, press [Alt]/[Option] and click the Edit buttons for the
respective channels.
Making EQ settings
Each audio channel in Cubase has a built-in parametric
equalizer with up to four bands. There are several ways to
view and adjust the EQs:
• By selecting the Equalizers or Equalizer Curve tab in the
Inspector.
The Equalizers section is similar to the Equalizers section in the Channel
Settings window, while the Equalizer Curve section shows a display in
which you can “draw” an EQ curve. Setting EQ in the Inspector is only
possible for track-based audio channels.
Ö By default, only the Equalizers tab is shown. To display
the Equalizer Curve tab, right-click on an Inspector tab
(not in the empty area below the Inspector) and activate
the Equalizer Curve option.
• By using the Channel Settings window.
This offers both parameter sliders and a clickable curve display (the
Equalizer + Curve pane) and also lets you store and recall EQ presets.
Below we describe how to set up EQ in the Channel Set-
tings window, but the parameters are the same in the
Mixer and Inspector (apart from the presets and reset func-
tion, which are not available in the Mixer).
The Equalizers + Curve pane in the Channel Settings win-
dow consists of four EQ modules with parameter sliders,
an EQ curve display and some additional functions at the
top.
Using the parameter controls
1. Activate an EQ module by clicking its On/Off button.
Although the modules have different default frequency values and differ-
ent Q names, they all have the same frequency range (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
2. Set the amount of cut or boost with the gain control –
the upper slider.
The range is ± 24 dB.
3. Set the desired frequency with the frequency slider.
This is the center frequency of the frequency range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) to
be cut or boosted.
4. Click on the filter name above the bottom slider and
select a filter type from the pop-up menu.
