Double-clicking the multi EQ element will open the following window, where all the parameters
can be edited in several ways:
Below the curve display, to the left of the window, there is an input attenuator, which is provided
for the cases where boosting certain frequencies in the EQ causes overload. Note that if the signal
overloads, the EQ curve will change from blue to red, and this even happens in the small multi EQ
display within the main Mixer window. So it’s easy to visually locate the source of an audible
overload, even if the mixer column output’s peakmeter does not show it. The attenuation can be
adjusted by clicking and dragging the fader, by clicking at the required fader position, or using the
value box in the same ways that will be described for EQ band parameters later in this section.
To the right of the input attenuator, four parameter fields (“Type”, “Frequency”, “Q-factor”, and
“Gain”) are displayed for the currently selected EQ band. The example above shows a 4-band
stereo EQ, and you can see the tabs that can be used to switch the display from one band to
another, with band 3 selected in this case. Each band also has an individual “ON” button.
The “Type” parameter lets you choose between eight different options: low pass, high pass, band
pass with constant skirt gain, band pass with constant peak gain, peaking EQ, notch filter, low
shelving, and high shelving. The symbols on the buttons are indicative of the EQ type, but if the
