EQ’ING A SAMPLE

Select the sound you want to EQ. The EQ process must always make a copy of the

source sample so press NAME and enter a suitable name for the copy. Press ENT/PLAY

to complete the naming process. Now set the parameters as you think fit. As you adjust

the controls, you will see the ‘shape’ of the EQ on the screen: I.e.

Once you think you have set something suitable, press to start the EQ process. If

you didn’t set a new name, you will see the message:

In this case, create a new sample name.

Assuming you have named the sample, you will see the following message as the sample

is being processed:

Once the processing is complete, you can audition the results of the EQ using the

key on F8. You can play the original sample using the ENT/PLAY key and this allows you

to ‘A/B’ between the original sample and the processed sample. If the sound is not to

your liking, set the controls differently and try again, overwriting the EQ’d sample you just

made.

If the parameter was set fairly high but you did not compensate for this with the

control, you may get the message:

In which case, back the control off a bit and try again.

USING THE EQ

The EQ process is very useful for affecting the sound at source. As mentioned, it can be

used very effectively for removing mains hum or other noises that may have crept into the

recording. You can use it creatively to accentuate certain elements of the sound as well -

you could add more weight to cellos and basses and the like by boosting some low

frequencies using the LOW SHELF selection or you could add top end to strings, brass,

etc., using the HI SHELF selection. Mid ranges can be boosted or cut using the BAND

WIDE and BAND THIN selection. BAND WIDE is best suited for adding gentle boost or cut

to a sound whereas BAND THIN is better at homing in on specific, tight frequency ranges.

If you need to EQ more than one frequency, select the source sample and set the EQ for

that and process it. When that’s done, select the EQ’d sample as the source sample, set

the next frequency you want. Repeat the process again on the second EQ’d sample.
