Use the graphical controls in the Custom Setup view, or adjust values in the Individual Parameters view. The Custom
Setup view displays the three bands (low, mid, high) in the Frequency window. You control the gain for each band by
adjusting handles for makeup gain and frequency range. The handles of the center band determine the crossover
frequency of the bands. Drag the handles to adjust the corresponding frequency. This effect is available for 5.1, stereo,
or mono clips.
Solo Plays the active band only.
MakeUp Adjusts the levels, in decibels.
BandSelect Selects a band. In the graphical control, click a band to select it.
Crossover Frequency Increases the range of frequencies for the selected band.
Output Specifies the output gain adjustment to compensate for the reduction or increase in gain caused by
compression. This helps to preserve the mix of the individual gain settings.
Use the following controls for each band:
Threshold 1-3 Specifies the level (between –60 and 0 dB) the incoming signal must exceed to invoke compression.
Ratio 1-3 Specifies the rate of compression, up to 8:1.
Attack 1-3 Specifies the time (between 0.1 and 10 milliseconds) the compressor takes to respond to a signal that
exceeds the threshold.
Release 1-3 Specifies the time required for the gain to return to the original level when the signal falls below the
threshold.
Multitap Delay effect
The Multitap Delay effect adds up to four echoes of the original audio in the clip. This effect is available for 5.1, stereo,
or mono clips.
Delay 1-4 Specifies the amount of time between the original audio and its echo. The maximum is 2 seconds.
Feedback 1-4 Specifies the percentage of the delayed signal to be added back into the delay to create multiple decaying
echoes.
Level 1-4 Controls the volume of each echo.
Mix Controls the amount of delayed and nondelayed echo.
Notch effect
The Notch effect removes frequencies that are near the specified center. This effects is available for 5.1, stereo, or mono
clips.
Center Specifies the frequency to be removed. If you are removing power-line hum, type a value that matches the
power-line frequency used by the electrical system where the clip was recorded. For example, in North America and
Japan type 60 Hz, and in most other countries type 50 Hz.
Q Specifies the range of frequencies to be affected. A low setting creates a narrow band; a high setting creates a wide band.
Parametric EQ effect
The Parametric Equalization effect increases or decreases frequencies near the specified Center frequency. This effect
is available for 5.1, stereo, or mono clips.
Center Specifies the frequency at the center of the specified range.
