  • Page 3 To describe the sound, think Pink Floyd's "The Wall", which was recorded on four interconnected Q8's using this preamp! The eq section was originally installed into a custom film console, made special order to upgrade the standard eq to the 444X, or Super 444. The 444 is the next generation of the earlier 333.

    DAW after installation. Be sure to choose the correct 32 bit and/or 64 bit folder(s) when installing. Open the Q8 in your DAW and this will generate you Q8.SER file, located in the same folder where you installed your Q8.

  • Page 8 The High EQ, High Mid EQ, Low Mid EQ, Low EQ, High/Low Cut EQ, and the Electronics Signal Path. These plug-ins allow you to use the real, original, classic, flagship Q8 music film score recording console with perfect analog sound directly inside of your DAW.
  • Page 9 Use the Bypass button to run the digital signal through the Plug-In without any of the Q8's signature sound. Low EQ The Low EQ operates in the same manner as the High EQ.
  • Page 10 High Mid EQ The Mid EQ section of the top-tier Q8 console has two separate controls for two separate frequency ranges: High Mid EQ and Low Mid EQ. The High Mid EQ provides you with Narrow and Wide Band Bell-Shaped EQ.
  • Page 11 Low Mid EQ The Low Mid EQ provides you with Narrow and Wide Band Bell-Shaped EQ. In Hz, select your choice of frequency from: .18, .22, .27, .35, .44, .56, .72, .91, 1.1, 1.4, 1.8 Hz...
  • Page 12 High/Low Cut EQ The 'Cut' function of the Q8 is extremely thorough. Not only does it have High Cut and Low Cut, but it has multiple frequency cut-off points for both. To make this entire section of options available from a single user interface, we have made the High/Low Cut EQ module extensive.
  • Page 13 The red knob is only used when using the HIGH/LOW CUT switch. Electronics The Q8 has a wonderful, musical quality when using the electronics of the full signal path just for the sake of enhancing the sound of your music. The EQ is absolutely wonderful, unique, first class, but the electronics themselves are worth using to color entire mixes as well.
  • Page 14 Q8. Turn the input down if you have a hot signal running through the device and you want a complex harmonic response but not much of it.
  • Page 15 I truly hope that you enjoy using the Q8! Thank You so much, and God Bless You. Sincerely, Michael Angel CDSoundMaster.com All contents Copyright CDSoundMaster. All rights reserved.
