The next selection is BAND THIN:

FREQ

Similar to BAND WIDE described above, BAND THIN has a narrower ‘bell’

and so will accentuate or remove a tighter band of frequencies. This

selection is useful for picking out a specific frequency in the sound (adding

mid-range ‘crack’ to a snare, for example) or for removing a tight band of

frequencies (i.e. cutting back some mains hum in a sample or removing

some top end noise).

The next selection is HI SHELF:

FREQ

This allows you to cut or boost high frequencies above the EQ’s frequency

control. This is good for adding or removing some top end in a sound.

This sets the frequency of the EQ. The effect it has depends on the

setting in the field. With LOW or HI SHELF selected, it sets the

point below or above which the cut or boost will take effect. With either of

the band EQ types selected, it sets the centre frequency.

This sets the cut or boost for the selected frequency. The range is +/-24dB

(00dB being no cut or boost, of course).

To compensate for extreme gain settings, the control allows you

adjust the sample’s overall volume after the EQ effect is applied. It is

especially useful when high gain boosting has been set as it is quite likely

the sample will distort. In this case, turn the control down accordingly

(i.e. if you set a gain boost of +24dB, set a volume cut of -24dB to

compensate). When cutting frequencies, you may like to use the

control to boost overall level slightly (although this may also be

accomplished by re-normalising the sound).
