Equalization Matching

Equalization matching matches the average frequency spectrum of the target clip to
that of the source clip.

Set Equalization Print

The Set Equalization Print command lets you select part of an audio file and create an
equalization print from it. The equalization print provides an equalization signature that
you can apply to other files.

To set an equalization print:

1

Select the audio file (or part of the audio file) containing the equalization you want to
match.

2

Choose Process > Equalization Matching > Set Equalization Print.

The selection is stored as a equalization print.

Apply Equalization

The Apply Equalization command uses the average frequency spectrum of the
equalization print to match the equalization in the audio file or selection.

To match equalization using the equalization print:

1

Select the audio file (or part of the audio file) in which you want to match the
equalization.

2

Choose Process > Equalization Matching > Apply Equalization.

The equalization print is applied to the target file.

Convert to Mono

Choosing this command converts a stereo audio file to mono. You can choose whether
to convert the file to mono by using only the left channel, using only the right channel,
or combining the two channels. Combining the left and right channels sums them as
an equal gain mix.

To select how a stereo file is converted to mono:

1

Choose Process > Convert to Mono.

2

In the Convert to Mono dialog, select the button corresponding to the method by
which you want to convert the file to mono.

3

Click OK.

The Convert to Mono action converts the entire stereo file to mono. You cannot
convert only a selection of a file to mono. The Convert to Mono action flattens the file,
removing existing actions from the Actions list. For information about flattening
actions, see “
