Visual EQ

Visual EQ is a BandLab effect designed to help fine-tune and balance the frequency spectrum of your recordings and music tracks with precision. It provides real-time spectrum visualisation, enabling you to see the impact of your adjustments immediately.

Key Features

• Three Customizable Filter Nodes: Allows for filter type selection, gain adjustment, frequency range (20 Hz - 20 kHz), and width control
• Interactive Visual Section: Features filter curves that appear/disappear based on activity, single/double tap interactions to select/activate filters, and pinch gestures for width control
• Real-Time and Accurate Visualization: Displays the audio frequency spectrum with grid lines and labels for easy reference

Visual EQ Parameters

• Frequency: Adjusts which pitch you are selecting as a reference point for the filter
• Gain: Adjusts how much the volume increases or decreases 
• Width (Q): Determines how broad or narrow the range of frequencies affected by your EQ adjustments will be. A narrow width targets a small range of frequencies, while a wide width affects a broader range

Types of Filters

• Low Pass: A low-pass filter allows lower frequencies to pass through while reducing or cutting higher frequencies
• High Pass: A high-pass filter allows higher frequencies to pass through while reducing or cutting lower frequencies
• Band Pass: A bandpass filter only allows a specific range of frequencies to pass through, cutting both the lower and higher frequencies outside that range
• Low Shelf: A lowshelf filter boosts or cuts all frequencies below a certain point (frequency) by the same amount
• High Shelf: A highshelf filter boosts or cuts all frequencies above a certain point by the same amount
• Peak: A peaking filter boosts or cuts frequencies around a central point, creating a peak or dip in the EQ curve
• Notch: A notch filter cuts a very narrow range of frequencies, almost completely removing them

How do I use the Visual EQ?
