EQ/Filters Graph

The EQ/Filters section provides an interactive Frequency Graph display that shows the response curve for the current EQ settings on a two-dimensional graph of frequency and gain. The Frequency Graph display also lets you modify frequency, gain, and Q settings for individual EQ bands by dragging their corresponding points in the graph. The Frequency Graph display also plots the frequency, Q, and filter shape of the two filters (when either or both are enabled).

Frequency Graph Gain Resolution

Channel Strip lets you view the gain scale on the Frequency Graph display either in 3 dB increments from –12 dB to +12 dB or in 6 dB increments from –24 dB to +24 dB.

To change the Frequency Graph Gain resolution:

Click the Graph Resolution toggle.

Using the Frequency Graph to Adjust Controls

You can adjust the following EQ controls by dragging the control points directly in the Frequency Graph display:

Frequency

Dragging a control point to the right increases the Frequency setting. Dragging a control point to the left decreases the Frequency setting.

You can press the Shift key while clicking and dragging an EQ control point up or down to adjust the Gain setting without changing the Frequency. Likewise, press the Shift key while clicking and dragging an EQ control point left or right to adjust the Frequency setting without changing the Gain setting.

Gain

Dragging a control point up increases the Gain setting. Dragging a control point down decreases the Gain setting.

Option-Shift-click (Mac) or Alt-Shift-click (Windows) an EQ control point to invert its Gain setting.

Q

Click within the curve of an EQ control point and drag up or down to increase or decrease the Q setting.

You can also Control-click (Mac) or Start‑click (Windows) and drag a control point up or down to increase or decrease the Q setting.
