• Look at the gain reduction indicator, to understand the amount
of limiting going on. Excessive limiting may dramatically change
the quality of the musical program.
Audio & Video > Master EQ
In this page you can access the fully parametric Master EQ. This
EQ is placed at the end of the audio path, just before the various
audio outputs (Audio Outs, Phones, integrated speakers). Both
MIDI tracks (Styles and Songs) and MP3 files are equalized.
This is a full spectrum frequency equalization, that gives you the
power to design EQ curves and shape your sound. Master EQ
features four fully programmable bands with fully adjustable
gain, frequency, and Q parameters.
All these parameters can be saved into a Master EQ Preset.
EQ Preset
Use this pop-up menu to choose one of the available EQ Presets,
and automatically reconfigure the EQ parameters.
On/Off
This is the on/off switch for the EQ section.
Diagram
Use these indicators to check the EQ curve, and the level of the
audio entering and coming out of the Master EQ.
• If the input level is too high, decrease the level of the “Input
Trim” parameter.
• If the output level is too high, decrease the level of the “Gain”
controls.
• Keep in mind that boosting the Gain is not always the best way
of making your sound appear louder; cutting the Gain of some
band may make the other bands appear louder.
Input Trim
Use this knob to adjust the level of the signal entering the EQ.
Excessive amount of signal may cause distortion when boosting
the EQ bands.
Q
‘Quality’ of the EQ filter; higher values correspond to narrower,
more accurate filters. Use higher values for near-surgical correc-
tion on isolated frequencies, lower values for more musical,
softer equalization.
Freq
Center frequency of the corresponding band. Center it on the
problematic frequency, or the harmonics you want to emphasize
or attenuate.
Gain
Gain of the corresponding band. Use it to make the frequencies
stronger or weaker.
