Panning & EQ page

The panning & EQ page controls panning-related settings such as left/right balance, auto panning, auto start position, and pitch-to-stereo spread, as well as tone shaping and EQ-related settings such as EQ band boost/cut, frequency and effects send pre-filtering.

1. Eq.Lo EQ Low Frequency Shaping

Tone shapes everything below the specified EQ's mid point frequency (4/Ar/Eq.Fr) divided by 2. Choose from a -6db cut, 0db neutral or +6db boost setting.

2. Eq.Md EQ Mid Frequency Shaping

Tone shapes everything around the specified EQ's mid point frequency (4/Ar/Eq.Fr). Choose from a -6db cut, 0db neutral or +6db boost setting.

3. Eq.Hi EQ High Frequency Shaping

Tone shapes everything above the specified EQ's mid point frequency (4/Ar/Eq.Fr) multiplied by two. Choose from a -6db cut, 0db neutral or +6db boost setting.

4. Eq.Fr EQ Mid Frequency Point

Specifies the frequency around which EQ-ing takes place. The setting increases the frequency in octaves; choose from 55Hz, 110Hz, 220Hz, 440Hz, 880Hz, 1760Hz, or 3520Hz.

Anything around this value is considered the "mid" frequency (2/bS/Eq.Md)
Anything below half this value is considered the "low" frequency (1/Cd/Eq.Lo)
Anything above double this value is considered the "high" frequency (3/Ld/Eq.Hi)

5. Pan Static Stereo Panning Position

Specifies where in the stereo field the the primary (static) placement of voices should.

6. P.2.Pn Pitch to Pan

Use note pitch as in input for placing voices in the stereo field.

7. EF.HP Pre-send FX high pass filter frequency

Specifies the frequency below which frequencies are progressively filtered out. The setting increases the frequency in octaves; choose from 55Hz, 110Hz, 220Hz, 440Hz, 880Hz, 1760Hz, or 3520Hz.

This parameter is particularly useful to avoid low and mid frequency build-up in the reverb unit and delay units, otherwise potentially contributing to "mud" that may reduce the clarity of your mix.

8. Aura Aural Exciter

Switches on or off the aural exciter for this track. The perceptual result is a brightening and fattening of the affected frequency region with strong octave-doubling character, similar to a classic analogue harmonic exciter or soft fuzz. Please see the mastering section for further implementation details.

Summary of EQ with exciter tonal character (low band setting is ignored);

Only high boost; Exciter Octave-up air and presence (classic exciter sound)
Only mid boost; Mid-range harmonic enrichment with octave doubling
Only high cut; Attenuated, phase-coherence-broken high end; unusual tonal character
Only mid cut; Attenuated, hollowed, granular mid scoop; unusual tonal character
Mid and high boost; full-spectrum fuzz at +6 dB
Mid and high cut; full-spectrum fuzz at -6 dB
