The Mixer
Using EQ presets
Some useful basic presets are included with the program.
You can use them as they are, or as a starting point for fur-
ther “tweaking”.
• To call up a preset, pull down the presets pop-up menu
in the Channel Settings window or in the Inspector and
select one of the available presets.
• To store the current EQ settings as a preset, select
“Save Preset…” from the Presets pop-up menu and enter
the desired name for the preset in the dialog that opens.
• To rename the selected preset, select “Rename Preset”
on the pop-up menu and enter a new name.
• To delete the selected preset, select “Remove Preset”
on the pop-up menu.
Ö You can also apply EQ (and Inserts) settings from
track presets, see “Applying inserts and EQ settings from
track presets (Cubase Elements only)” on page 224.
EQ in the channel overview
If the Channel section is selected in the Inspector, you will
get an overview of which EQ modules, insert effects and
sends are activated for the channel.
By clicking on any of the module numbers (1 to 4), you
can turn the corresponding EQ module on or off.
Copying settings between audio channels
It is possible to copy all channel settings for an audio
channel and paste them to one or several other channels.
This applies to all audio-based channel types. For exam-
ple, you can copy EQ settings from an audio track and ap-
ply these to a group or VST instrument channel, if you
want them to have the same sound.
Proceed as follows:
1. In the Mixer, select the channel you want to copy set-
tings from.
2. On the common panel, click the “Copy First Selected
Channel’s Settings” button.
3. Select the channel(s) you want to copy the settings to
and click the “Paste Settings to Selected Channels” but
-
ton (below the “Copy First Selected Channel Settings”
button).
The settings are applied to the selected channel(s).
You can copy channel settings between different types of
channels, but only those channels will be used for which
corresponding settings are available in the target channel.
• For example, since output channels do not have send effects,
copying from them will leave the sends settings in the target
channel unaffected.
Initialize Channel and Reset Mixer
The Initialize Channel button can be found in the lower
part of the Control Strip section in the Channel Settings
window. (If this section is not shown in the Channel Set
-
tings window, open the context menu and select “Control
Strip” on the Customize View submenu.) Initialize Channel
resets the selected channel to the default settings.
Similarly, the Mixer common panel holds a Reset Mixer/
Reset Channels button. When you click this, you will be
asked whether you want to reset all channels or just the
selected channels.
