Equalize a channel: low cut, 4-band EQ and graphic EQ

Remove rumble and wind with the low cut, and shape the tone of a voice or instrument with the 4-band EQ or the 31-band graphic EQ.

Step by step

  1. On the channel strip, click FX.
  2. Open the EQ tab.
  3. Turn on Low cut and choose the Cutoff.
  4. Turn on the EQ on switch and adjust the bands. The curve at the top shows the result.

Low cut

The low cut removes very low sounds, like rumble, wind and bumps on the mic stand. Choose the cutoff frequency between 20 and 400 Hz. The default is 80 Hz, good for voice.

4-band EQ

EQ means equalizer: it boosts or cuts frequency ranges. Each band has Gain (up to ±18 dB), Freq. and Q, which is the band width.

BandWhat for
Low (shelf)Body and weight of the sound.
Low-midMuffled or “boxy” sound.
High-midClarity and presence of the voice.
High (shelf)Brightness and air.

Graphic EQ

In the Graphic EQ tab, turn on the switch and use the 31 small bars, one per frequency, ±12 dB each. Double-clicking a bar resets that band. Reset all sets them all back to 0.
