Making Filter Settings
Each audio-related channel has separate high-cut and low-cut filters that allow you
to attenuate signals with frequencies that are higher or lower than the cutoff
frequency.
PROCEDURE
1. On the MixConsole toolbar, activate Show Channel Racks.
2. Click Racks and activate Pre (Filters/Gain/Phase) to show the Pre rack
above the fader section.
3. Click to the left of the high-cut filter to activate the high-cut filter. You have the
following options:
• Drag the slider to adjust the cutoff frequency.
The available range spans from 20 kHz to 50 Hz.
•Click Select Filter Slope on the right of the high-cut filter to select a filter
slope.
You can choose between 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 dB. The default value is 12 dB.
4. Click to the left of the low-cut filter to activate the low-cut filter. You have the
following options:
• Drag the slider to adjust the cutoff frequency.
The available range spans from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
•Click Select Filter Slope on the right of the low-cut filter to select a filter slope.
You can choose between 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 dB. The default value is 12 dB.
RESULT
The changed settings are visible in the curve display. If you deactivate the high-cut
and low-cut filters, the filter curves are removed from the display. Bypassed high-cut
and low-cut filters are displayed in a different color.
Making Input Gain Settings
The Pre-Gain slider allows you to change the level of a signal before it reaches the
EQ and the effects section. This is useful as the level going into certain effects can
change the way the signal is affected. A compressor, for example, can be driven
harder by raising the input gain. Gain can also be used to boost the level of poorly
recorded signals.
PROCEDURE
1. On the MixConsole toolbar, activate Show Channel Racks.
2. Click Racks and activate Pre (Filters/Gain/Phase) to show the Pre rack
above the fader section.
3. Drag the Gain slider to the left or to the right to cut or boost the gain.
