Chapter 4: EQ III 29
The High Shelf and High Peak Gain controls and
their corresponding graph elements are dis-
played on-screen in blue. The following control
values are available:
2–4 Band EQ III
The 2–4 Band EQ uses the same plug-in window
as the 7 Band EQ, but on the 2–4 Band EQ, but a
limited number of the seven available bands can
be active at the same time.
In the factory default setting, the High Pass/Low
Notch, Low Pass/High Notch and Mid Peak
bands are out of circuit, the Low Shelf and High
Shelf bands are selected and in circuit, and the
Low Mid Peak and High Mid Peak bands are in
circuit.
Filter Usage with 2–4 Band
EQ III
With a 2–4 Band EQ, a maximum of four filters
may be active simultaneously, with each of the
five Peak bands (Low Shelf/Peak, Low Mid Peak,
Mid Peak, High Mid Peak and High Shelf/Peak)
counting as one filter. Each of the Band-pass and
Notch filters (High Pass, Low Notch, Low Pass
and High Notch) counts as two filters.
When any combination of these filter types uses
the four-filter maximum on the 2–4 Band EQ,
the remaining bands become unavailable. This
is indicated by the Band Enable buttons turning
light gray. When filters become available again,
the Band Enable button on inactive bands turns
dark gray.

For Pro Tools HD, using a 2–4 Band EQ in-
stead of a 7 Band EQ saves DSP resources.
