Vintage EQ
Inspired by legendary British large console EQs,
the Track16
Vintage EQ section (Figure 9-10) gives
you the look, feel and sound of the most sought-
after classic equalizers. Five bands of center
frequency parametric EQ filtering are provided,
each with four EQ types that provide current
popular EQ styles and vintage analog EQ styles
alike. Two bands include shelf filtering. Two
additional bands of variable slope low pass and
high pass filtering are provided. The filter response
display provides comprehensive control and visual
feedback of the EQ curve being applied. With
64-bit floating point processing, the Track16
Vintage EQ has been carefully crafted and
meticulously engineered to produce musical
results in a wide variety of applications.
Enabling EQ
Each input and output channel has a global EQ
enable/disable button (Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-6).
This button enables or disables all bands of EQ for
the channel. In addition, each individual band of
EQ has a
Filter enable/disable switch (Figure 9-10),
allowing you to enable as few or as many bands as
needed for each individual channel.
☛
Shortcut: hold down the Option/Alt key while
clicking anywhere in the EQ graph that’s not
directly on an EQ filter handle to enable or bypass
the EQ for that input or output.
