Edit the Match EQ filter curve in Final Cut Pro
You can edit the Match EQ filter curve in the EQ Curve display by adjusting the various points shown in each band. As you drag a point, the current value is shown, allowing precise changes.
Adjust Match EQ curve values
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select a clip with the Match EQ effect applied, then open the effect’s settings in the Audio inspector.
For information about adding the effect and showing its controls, see Add Logic effects to clips in Final Cut Pro.
Do any of the following:
Shift the peak frequency for the band (over the entire spectrum): Drag horizontally.
Adjust the gain of the band: Drag vertically.
Adjust the Q Factor: Hold down Shift, then drag vertically.
Reset the gain to 0 dB: While clicking, press Option.
Reset all changes you have made to the curve: Press Option.
Change the Match EQ scale range
The colors and modes of the dB scales on the left and right of the display are automatically adapted to the active function. If the Analyzer is active, the left scale displays the average spectrum in the signal, and the right scale serves as a reference for the peak values of the Analyzer. A dynamic range of 60 dB is shown by default. If this is not precise enough for your edits, you can increase the range.
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select a clip with the Match EQ effect applied, then open the effect’s settings in the Audio inspector.
For information about adding the effect and showing its controls, see Add Logic effects to clips in Final Cut Pro.
Drag either scale to set values of up to +20 dB and −100 dB.
Change Match EQ gain with the scales
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select a clip with the Match EQ effect applied, then open the effect’s settings in the Audio inspector.
For information about adding the effect and showing its controls, see Add Logic effects to clips in Final Cut Pro.
Drag either scale to adjust the overall gain of the filter curve from −30 to +30 dB.
The left scale—and the right, if the Analyzer is inactive—shows the dB values for the filter curve.
