Graphic EQ: Introduction
Now let's talk about the Graphic
EQ, Parametric EQ and output
Compressor / Limiter. The Channel
View is utilized to adjust these, too.
Getting here is easy. Simply
tap the Graphic EQ curve at the
top of the master fader channel
from the Mixer View or from any
input Channel View.
The Graphic EQ View looks and
works similarly to that of a typical
31-band graphic EQ.
Graphic EQ: On / Off
Tap this button to turn the
Graphic EQ on and off. When on,
the EQ controls affect the signal
and the button illuminates green.
When off, the EQ controls have
no affect on the signal, nor will the
button illuminate. However, the EQ
controls may still be adjusted.
Graphic EQ: 31-Band EQ
The 31-band EQ is a great tool
for really dialing in the sound you're
looking for or use it to squelch
feedback from monitors. There are
31 vertical sliders ranging from
20 Hz-20 kHz. Drag these sliders up
and down until the desired sound
has been achieved. Tapping a band's
26
Graphic EQ ball twice will zero it.

Graphic EQ: 2X
Tap this button to turn the 2X
zoom on or off. This allows you to
zoom in on the Graphic EQ, perfect
for our friends with sausage fingers
and/or mixing with the iPad mini.
Swipe left and right to view and
adjust the remaining bands. It will
illuminate green when engaged.

Graphic EQ: Draw
If the Draw button is engaged,
you may draw an EQ curve over the
display (regardless of where the
slider balls reside) and the sliders will
snap to the corresponding position.
Go ahead and try it; make a smiley
face. We did the same thing!
If the Draw button is disengaged,
the sliders may only be adjusted
one at a time.
The Draw button illuminates
green when engaged. Note that Draw
is unavailable when in 2X mode.
