Output EQ
Click this button to view the Output EQ controls.
Click the output letter buttons (A-J) to select an
output after the Output EQ window is open.
Select either a 31-band Graphic EQ or an 8-band
Parametric EQ.
Note: When switching between the 31-band
Graphic EQ and the 8-band Parametric EQ, a
warning will appear: "This will reset all EQ
parameters!" Click Cancel to retain the current EQ
settings, or OK to change EQ modules.
31-band Graphic EQ
With an output selected, click the 31b button to
view the Graphic EQ controls.
Click the On button to activate the Graphic EQ
for the selected output. The Reset button returns all
the sliders to their center (0 dB) positions.
Each band is on an ISO center frequency ranging
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with ±15 dB gain on each band.
Click and drag on a slider knob to adjust the EQ.
Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to make fine
adjustments to a selected control. Use the Page
Up/Down keys to make course adjustments. The
selected band’s GAIN and BAND (frequency) are
displayed at the top of the window.
Click the right mouse button over the processor
display. This brings up a menu allowing you to cut,
copy, or paste the processor settings to another output.
8-band Parametric EQ
With an output selected, click the 8b button to view
the 8-band Parametric EQ controls.
Click the On button to activate the Parametric
EQ for the selected output. The Reset button
returns all the controls to their center positions.
Each band has adjustable gain (±15 dB), frequency
(20 Hz–20 kHz), and bandwidth (0.1–6.0 octaves).
Click the right mouse button over the processor
display. This brings up a menu allowing you to cut,
copy, or paste the processor settings to another output.
Compress
Click this button to view the Compressor for a
selected input or output. Click an input SELECT
button to select an input. Click the output letter
buttons (A-J) to select an output.
Click the On button to activate the Compressor
for the selected input or output. The Reset button
returns all the controls to their default positions.
The Compressor has five knobs: Attack,
Release, Output, Threshold, and Ratio. Click and
drag on the individual knobs to adjust each
parameter. An analog-style meter indicates the
amount of compression applied in decibels.
Click the right mouse button over the processor
display. This brings up a menu allowing you to cut,
copy, or paste the processor settings to another channel.
About Compression:
A compressor is used to reduce or limit transient
peaks in a signal. As the input level to the
compressor increases, the output level increases
linearly until the threshold point is reached. After
that point, the output level no longer increases
linearly. Instead, it increases at a reduced rate
determined by the ratio setting.
This compressor features ‘soft-knee’
compression. As the input signal level approaches
and crosses the threshold, the compressor gradually
starts compressing. The compression ratio gradually
increases to the required setting smoothly.
•Threshold: This control determines the level around which the
compressor begins to act on the incoming signal. It is calibrated
in decibels, with a range from –60.0 dBFS to –1.0 dBFS.
•Attack: This determines how fast the compressor reacts once the
threshold has been exceeded. It is calibrated in milliseconds,
with a range from 0.1ms to 2500 ms (2.5 seconds) per 20 dB of
gain change.
•Release: This determines how fast the compressor turns off once
the signal falls below the threshold. It is calibrated in milliseconds,
with a range from 10 ms to 2500 ms (2.5 seconds) per 20 dB of
gain change.
