DIGITAL OFFLINE EQ

Another DSP function on offer is DIGITAL EQ. This is an off-line EQ process giving four
bands of EQ plus a low and high pass filter.
Pressing EQ in the main DSP page will take you to this screen:
As with all the other off-line DSP functions, the EQ process creates a new cue. A default
name is given to the new cue but you may enter your own name here in the usual
manner if you prefer. You may also select which disk the processed cue will be placed on.
You can see the four bands laid out across the screen. Parameters are adjusted by
moving the cursor to them and using the DATA +/- keys. The ranges for the EQ section
are:
LOW
LMID
HMID
HIGH
LF
HF
The four bands have overlapping frequency ranges and variable gains (with the LMID and
HMID having variable Q as well). The LF and HF bands are simply ON or OFF and are
useful for removing unwanted mains hum or hiss or whatever although can be used for
other purposes and special effects.
To set the EQ, you should set the parameters as appropriate and use the AUDITION EQ
key to hear the EQ settings. As the cue is playing, you will see this at the bottom of the
screen display:
NOTE: Please note that it is not possible to adjust any of the EQ controls during audition.
If you need to make an adjustment, press EXIT to stop playback and then make your
adjustment
Once you are happy with the result, press the flashing EXECUTE key. You will see this
display:
Press EXIT to abort the process if you wish.
