Using the per-track EQ

 

Note: The per-track EQ is only available in the base version of SONAR X3. SONAR X3 Studio and SONAR X3 Producer include the ProChannel QuadCurve Equalizer (see QuadCurve Equalizer module).

SONAR has a 4-band EQ patched into each audio track by default. You can adjust these EQ’s in the Console view and the Track Inspector. You can show or hide the EQ plot, and open the EQ interface to access all EQ controls.

The EQ Plot module lets you adjust the per-track equalization curve. To access additional equalizer controls, double-click the EQ plot.

Here’s how to use it:

To show or hide the EQ in all audio tracks

In the Console view, click the Modules menu and choose EQ Plot.

In the Track Inspector, click the Display button and choose EQ Plot.

To enable or disable the EQ in a track or bus

Double-click the EQ plot to open the EQ interface, then enable/disable the desired bands.

To configure the EQ

Double-click the track’s EQ plot to open the Sonitus fx: EQ property page. Please see the Sonitus fx: EQ online Help for detailed information.

To change the plot resolution

Right-click the EQ plot and choose the desired plot resolution on the pop-up menu.

To copy EQ settings

SONAR lets you easily copy EQ settings from one track/bus (source) to another track/bus (target) when using the integrated per-channel EQ in the Console View or Track Inspector.

To do so, hold down the CTRL, click the source EQ plot and drag to the target EQ plot, then release the mouse button and CTRL key.

The EQ settings are copied from the source track/bus to the target track/bus. The target EQ will automatically be enabled if it was not already enabled.

This command is undoable, so you can quickly and easily revert to a track/bus’ previous EQ settings.

Note: You can only copy settings from an EQ that is enabled.

A. Hold down the CTRL key and left-click in the source EQ plot B. While still holding down the CTRL key and left mouse button, drag the mouse cursor to the target EQ plot and release the mouse button C. The source EQ plot is copied to the target EQ plot
