6.7 Equalizers
The Engineer features stereo equalizers on each input and the Engineer algorithm, as well as
mono equalizers on each output. Open one by simply clicking on the button that represents
it.
As you can see, the 8-band parametric equalizers can be configured by either text input or
by using your mouse. The type of equalizer can be selected by clicking on the arrows beside
the type name. You can select Bell-filters, shelving filters and band-pass/reject filters. Select
"none" to bypass the selected filter. Frequency, gain and Q/bandwidth values can be
selected by typing them in the boxes. Note that the band you're working on lights up in
yellow.
When using the mouse to configure a filter, simply drag the graphical markers around while
holding the left mouse-button to select the gain and frequency. While dragging, you can
use the scroll-wheel of your mouse to change the Q/bandwidth/slope factor of the
selected filter. While dragging, holding down the CONTROL key locks the gain value,
and holding down the SHIFT key locks the frequency value.
You can use the reset button to bypass each filter's type. All other parameters will remain
the same, meaning you only have to change each filters type to get your original settings
back. By default, the graphical view is set to a maximum of -12/+6 dB. Click the "Large
scale" button to change this to -45/+12 dB. Clicking the button a second time will revert
back to the original view. Note that you can resize the entire window to get a better view of
your settings by dragging the arrow mark in the bottom right corner. You can even hide the
text input on the right of the screen by pressing the "<<" button. This way you can easily
leave it in a corner of your workspace, as a reminder of your settings. You might want to
copy the settings for a specific EQ to another channel. To do this, simply right click
anywhere in the window, or even the button that opens the window, and select paste in the
target window.
