1.       Input tab: clicking o n this tab will open the input p

rocessing window

 

2.      PEQ on/off button: clicking these buttons enable the corresponding parametric equalizer

 

(PEQ). When a PEQ is

.

 

enabled the corresponding button lights up.

 

3. 

EQ type: here you can choose Bell, Notch, high shelving, low shelving All Pass, Band Pass, 
High Pass or Low Pass equalizers.

 

4.       Center or shelving frequency: here you can set the equalizer frequency.

 

5. 

Q-factor: the Q factor is a value of how sharp the equalizer-curve is. A high value means 

a sharp curved EQ. This is either a narrow band or a sharp increase or decrease with 
with shelving equalizers. Use your ears to judge and check with the frequency response 
windows of the software.

 

6.       Gain: set the amount of boost or cut in this field.

 

7. 

High pass and low pass filter: also known as low-cut (sub-sonic) and high-cut respectively, 

these filters remove frequencies below or above the chosen frequency.

 

8.      Slope: this determents the steepness of the filter. The same types and slopes are available

 

at the cross-over settings.

 

9. 

Delay: the maximum delay permitted is 1000ms, in steps of 0.1ms. It can be displayed 
in feet, inch, m, mil, mm, ms and s.

 

10.     Limiter threshold: this is the level above which the limiter becomes active. Set this level

 

to the maximum desired output.

 

11.     Limiter release: this is the setting to determine how fast the limiter function (gain reduction)

 

is returned to normal (no limiting). This value is time-dependent.

 

12.

 

13.

 

Input Gain: this is the field to set the absolute value of the gain setting.

 

Compressor tab: clicking on this tab will open the compressor processing window..

 

14.     Mute button: input channel mute button.

 

15.     Input Gain: this is the input channel gain setting fader and input level meter.

 

16. 

Frequency response window: this window gives a graphical representatio

.

n of the cross- 

settings.

 

 

 

Note:

 

When using EQ; use narrow EQ mostly to cut and not to boost.

 

Use narrow EQ (high Q) for correction and low Q (wide EQ) for getting the desired sound.
