EQ Graphic Display
The EQ curve is shown as a yellow line. When the sidechain filters
are activated, their curves are also shown in the graph. The
compressor sidechain is displayed with an orange line and shaded
area. The gate sidechain is displayed with a blue line and shading.
The EQ graph displays ±18 dB gain on the Y axis and 16 Hz to
21,000 Hz in a logarithmic frequency scale on the X axis.
GRAPH CONTROLS
• Band Select: click once on a band marker to select its band.
• Band on or off: double-click a band marker.
• Filter type: Cmd+click (Mac) or Win+click (PC) on a band marker to toggle through the filter types.
• Q: hold Alt while dragging left or right.
• Frequency: drag a marker left or right.
• Gain: drag a marker up or down.
To restrict marker movement to one axis (i.e., only up or down, or only left or right), hold Ctrl and then drag vertically
or horizontally. This enables you, for example, to locate accurately a frequency using a very high, narrow boost, and
then turn the boost into a cut without altering the frequency setting. This is by far the easiest way to locate a noise
you wish to attenuate and then create a cut.
