EQ effect

The EQ effect acts as a parametric equalizer, meaning that it controls frequency, bandwidth, and level using multiple bands. The effect includes three fully parametric mid bands, a high band, and a low band. The low and high bands are shelving filters, by default. Gain is constant over frequency. The Cut control switches the low and high band from shelving to cutoff filters. Gain is fixed to –12 dB per octave and is deactivated in cutoff mode.

Use the graphical controls in the Custom Setup view, or adjust values in the Individual Parameters view. In the Custom Setup view, you can control the properties of the filter bands in the Frequency window by dragging band handles. Each band includes a control for Frequency and Gain. Mid bands include two additional controls for adjusting the Q-factor. This effect is available for 5.1, stereo, or mono clips.

Frequency
Specifies the amount by which to increase or decrease the band (between 20 and 20,000 Hz).

Gain
Specifies the amount by which to increase or decrease the band (between –20 and 20 dB).

Cut
Changes the functionality of the filter from shelving to cutoff.

Q
Specifies the width of each filter band (between 0.05 and 5.0 octaves).

Output
Specifies the amount of gain to compensate for increases or reductions of frequency bands on the output gain of the EQ.
