Channel View: Introduction
Now the real fun begins! We
have a good grasp on the Mixer
View, including the Channel Strips,
Master Fader and Navigation Bar,
so let's spice up the mix now with
some processing.
All channel processing is
accessed in the Channel View. There
are multiple views including EQ, Gate
and Compression and FX for inputs
and Graphic EQ and Compressor /
Limiter for the outputs. EQ is the first
processor in the Channel View, so
we'll begin there.
To get to the Channel View
tap the channel's EQ curve from
the Mixer View. Since we have
signal on channel 8, tap that
channel's EQ curve.
Note: If at any time you need to
return to the Mixer View, just tap the
Mixer button located in the top-left
corner of the app. It's that easy!
EQ: Introduction
The input channels, Reverb, Delay
and iPad channels all have 4-band
EQ, including low shelving, low-mid
peaking, high-mid peaking and high
shelving. The mic inputs also have a
high-pass filter [HPF].

Before discussing the
components that make up the
EQ View, let's first take a look
at it and get our bearings.
Laid out vertically on the far left
of the screen is the Channel Strip
of the current channel.
As mentioned earlier, no matter
what view is displayed, the Master
Fader would remain vertically on
the far right and the Navigation Bar
would lie horizontally across the top.
As such, they are both there.

Finally, boxed in between the
Channel Strip, the Master Fader and
the Navigation Bar is the current
channel's EQ controls...or as we like
to call it, "the playground!"
We have our bearings, so let's
get to work! Like we did with the
Mixer View, we'll look at the EQ View
starting at the top-left and work our
way counter-clockwise.
