Vintage EQ
Inspired by legendary British large console EQs,
the 828x
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 model 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 828x 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.
