Use Linear Phase EQ shortcut menus in MainStage
The Linear Phase EQ graphic display and the Analyzer and Q-Couple buttons provide additional parameters that you can use to enhance the behavior of Channel EQ.
Control-click the Linear Phase EQ graphic display, or the Analyzer or Q-Couple button to open a context menu that contains the following parameters.
Graphic Display
Choose the EQ dB Scale Mode
Linear 12 dB, 30 dB, and 60 dB mode: Set the scale of the Channel EQ graphic display to a linear value.
Warped: Set the Linear Phase EQ graphic display to a logarithmic, non-linear scale.
Visualize Master Gain: Turn on to view an overlay on the Linear Phase EQ graphic display which shows the overall EQ curve when adjusted by the Master Gain parameter.
Analyzer
Analyzer Mode: Choose Peak or RMS.
Analyzer Resolution: Choose a sample resolution for the Analyzer: Resolution low (2048 points), Resolution medium (4096 points), or Resolution high (8192 points).
Gain-Q Couple Strength
Choose the amount of Gain-Q coupling.
Proportional: Scales the bandwidth proportionally as you change the gain. A proportional Q design widens the filter bandwidth at lower cut/boost levels and narrows it at higher settings.
Light or medium: Allows some change as you raise or lower the gain.
Strong: Preserves most of the perceived bandwidth.
Asymmetric: These settings feature a stronger coupling for negative gain values than for positive values, so the perceived bandwidth is more closely preserved when you cut, rather than boost, gain.
Note: If you play back automation of the Q parameter with a different Gain-Q Couple Strength setting, the actual Q values are different than when the automation was recorded.
