More About EQ Settings

The sliders in the EQ window let you set the bass, treble, and mid-range to control the way your music sounds. The Gain slider at the far right of the EQ window will increase or decrease the overall volume within a range of +/- 20dB. Once you have the EQ settings the way you want them, press the “Apply” button, and Final Vinyl applies the settings to the recorded audio.

An equalizer increases or decreases the volume within a selected frequency range; for example, you can move the EQ sliders to boost the bass range without affecting the treble. Keep in mind that boosting a band of frequencies boosts your overall signal as well. For example, if all of the frequency sliders are raised 50% above normal, the audio will be 10dB louder; if all the sliders are lowered 50% below normal, the sound will be 10dB softer. The trick is to balance all your various volume controls (including your Mac’s sound panel, Final Vinyl’s Gain setting in Preferences, Final Vinyl’s EQ settings, and possibly others, depending on your setup) so that the resulting audio never exceeds 100%.

Continuing the example of raising all the sliders 50%, and assuming the incoming audio is set so that the loudest sound in the recording reaches 100% loudness, that would mean the final audio volume would be at 150%! If the total volume is more than 100%, the “peaks” of the audio signal will be “clipped off,” which results in a very nasty- sounding distortion of the signal. Your ability to perceive distortion will depend on the environment where you listen (a very noisy environment will make it hard to hear distortion) and on the style of music itself. Very light distortion is easy to hear in soft classical music, but nearly impossible to hear in thunderous heavy metal, which already contains large amounts of distortion as part of the music.
