Main View
The display consists of three main elements; the input/output PPM meters at the
right, the controls section at the bottom, and the EQ and RTA graphs in the main
display. The features are as follows:
• • Input/output PPM meters, 0 to -72 dB dBFS, with +0 dBFS indication in
red at the top. The RTA graphs also refer to this scale
• • The +/- vertical scale refers to the dB level of the EQ bands. You may
zoom in/out by toggling the top button between 8, 16 and 24 dB
• • The horizontal scale is the frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
• • The 12 EQ bands are color coded for easy navigation and overview.
The respective colors are reflected in the controls section at the bottom
• • The currently selected band is highlighted in the view:
• • Full color band handle and EQ curve overlay if the band is enabled
• •
Colored ring band handle and grey curve overlay if the band is disabled
• • The white curve is the total EQ curve combining all active bands. When
working in Mid/Side, or Left/Right, the unselected channel is shown as
a grey curve
• •
Enable or disable bands by double clicking on the band handle
• • Adjust gain and frequency by dragging the band handle, or by using the
dials in the controls section
• • To adjust the width or slope, use C drag (Mac), or use Ctrl +
drag (Win), or by using the dials or buttons in the controls section
Note: All details are greyed out in the display when the EQ is switched off.
Controls section
The controls section is where all the relevant band parameters are located. They
can be adjusted here, or you may adjust directly on the main view band handles.
See Key-commands for convenient navigation.
• • Any of the circular controls can be adjusted either by dragging on the
dials, or by double-clicking and entering a numeric value in the box
• • FREQ sets the frequency of the selected band
• • GAIN sets the gain of the selected band
• • WIDTH (if using Bell curve) sets the width of the selected band
• • SLOPE (if Lo Cut or Hi Cut) sets the filter slope of the selected band
• • TYPE (if Lo Shelf or Hi Shelf) sets the shelf type of the selected band
