Effects; Setting Up The Effect Position; Equalization - Tascam DV-RA1000HD Owner's Manual

The DV-RA1000HD incorporates two signal proces-
sors: a 3-band equalization stage and a dynamics pro-
cessor. These can be inserted either before the final
recording process or on playback.
These effects can be used on playback to simulate the
effects of pre-mastering effect processing before the
mixed stereo track is actually pre-mastered in another
facility, or may be even used to perform the actual pre-
mastering.

Setting up the effect position

The key is used to switch the effects on and
EFFECT
off, to set up the parameters, and to set up the position
of the effect in the signal chain.
Press and release the key to turn the effect chain on and
off (the indicator shows the status).
Press, hold and release the key to bring up the first set-
ting screen:

Equalization

The equalization effect has three bands: a shelving
sweepable low, a fully parametric mid, and a shelving
sweepable high.
All bands can cut or boost ±12 dB. The slope of the low
and high bands is 6 dB/octave.

Equalization is carried out a 40-bit resolution, and
dynamics processing is carried out at 32-bit resolution
at the same sampling frequency as the current project.
NOTE
The effects are not available in Sampling Frequency
1. kHz, 1 kHz, and DSD modes.
0 dB to –72 dB and
between 0 and –10 dB are made in 0.5 dB
steps, settings from –10 dB onwards are
made in 1 dB steps.
