In the following screen shot the EQ plugin is selected. This plugin offers you 3 bands of equalization. All
settings can be defined by you.
A frequency response magnitude plot over all bands gives an informative overview of your EQ settings.
Figure 7: Equalizer plugin
A little example should give you an idea of the functionality and the manifold opportunities the EQ offers:
• The 1st band is set to low shelving with a boost of 0.5dB at 147 Hz, i.e. frequencies below 147 Hz get
boosted by 0.5dB.
• The 2nd band is a bell shaped peaking filter, attenuating 1.1dB at 1.05 kHz. The
Q
value is the width
of the bell shape. The smaller the
Q
the wider the bell.
• The 3rd band is a high shelving filter, attenuating frequencies above 3.73 kHz by 0.3dB
