  • Page 6 Control Scheme Under the hood, SplitEQ operates two EQs in parallel, one for the Transient signal, and one for the Tonal signal. This allows you to adjust Transient or Tonal signals indepen- dently or together. Because there are twice as many EQs, there are also twice as many controls and curves on the plot.

    To bring the handles back together, double-click on the Transient or Tonal handle, and the other handle will snap to it. The following table shows the mouse interaction modes for SplitEQ’s plot: Action Windows...

  • Page 8: Band Editors

    2.3 Band Editors The Band Editors section is located underneath the plot. It contains two panels, EQ and Pan, which can be accessed through the EQ and Pan buttons in the lower left corner. Similar to the plot, the controls in the Band Editor also support linked edits. Controls Reset All Resets all bands to their default state.

    Transient or Tonal–they do not alter the sound on their own. SplitEQ provides four controls for shaping the operation of the Structural Split: the Source and Transient Separation controls determine how the Split identifies regions, and the Transient Decay and Smooth controls allow you to shape the transitions be- tween Transient and Tonal regions.
  • Page 12 Source Lock Locks the Source control as you change presets. Transient Affects the isolation level for transients across the spectrum. Separation This control sets the main transition region or decision point where audio splits (in time and frequency) into the separate 0-100% Transient and Tonal streams.

    Tuning the Split You can certainly get good results out of SplitEQ without ever changing any of the Split section controls, but learning how to use them will allow you to more precisely target particular aspects of a sound. The following steps may be helpful in tuning the Split.

  • Page 14: Master

    2.5 Master The Master section contains controls and metering for the post-EQ Transient and Tonal signals as well as the spectrum analyzer. The bar meters display the peak and RMS amplitude for the Transient and Tonal sig- nals, with the lighter-colored bar representing the RMS, and the darker-colored bar rep- resenting the peak.

  • Page 15: Spectrum Analyzer

    Spectrum Analyzer The Spectrum Analyzer displays the spectrum of one or more signals on the plot. SplitEQ’s analyzer is especially useful because it can display the spectrum of the Transient and Tonal signals as well as the plugin’s input and output.
  • Page 16 Freeze Enables infinite peak hold on the plot. When active, existing peaks will not decay, and new peak values will be held, allowing you to see the peak amplitude at any given frequency.

  • Page 17: Preset Bar

    2.6 Preset Bar Located at the top of the SplitEQ Plug-In, the Preset Bar lets you load and save presets, along with several other features.
