The Curve Window
After you have chosen a program, you may want to change some of the parameters to meet
your specific needs. One of the most useful tools available in the IEM for setting up a proper
compression curve is the curve window. In the curve window you can see the combined effects
of dynamics-related parameters expressed in a graphical format. The figure below shows the
different parts of the curve window you will see as you edit the compressor and limiter func-
tions of the IEM.
When working with the EQ, the curve window changes to show a graphical representation of
the 5 parametric bands in a frequency grid. Your adjustments to the 5 bands are shown in real
time.
