You can also double-click and type in parameter values. But we found, by learning a few modifier keys, we rarely used the control knobs because it was easier to make the same adjustments by clicking and dragging the EQ curves in just about any way desired. Underneath this graphic are three large knobs that control frequency, gain and Q for the selected EQ band. This is an automatic gain ranging system that adjusts depending on the EQ bands' gain settings. The display offers three amplitude ranges: 6dB for mastering, and 12 and 30dB for mixing. Any EQ can be of a bell shape of any Q or high/low shelf and high/low cut topologies with 6, 12, 24, or 48dB/Oct slopes. While in focus and under your control that EQ band appears on top of the other EQ bands in the GUI. Each new EQ band is color-coded and has an "anchor point" or handle for dragging and changing its shape and frequency range. By double-clicking on the line you'll begin to add EQ bands with a total of up to 24 bands possible. amplitude X/Y plot showing a 20Hz to 20kHz flat line response.


The top section of the GUI is a blank, frequency vs. This level of processing makes this equalizer a powerfully creative tool, capable of completely transforming any program material in new imaginative ways. Starting with the deceptively simple and well thought out GUI, we found ourselves rethinking the whole equalization process because Pro-Q offers a huge range of tweakability and programmability.
