What is Visual EQ?

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

Its key features includes:

  • 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.

This feature is currently only available on the mobile version of BandLab, version 10.77.0 and above and is part of our BandLab membership plan.

Visual EQ Parameters
  • Frequency: Adjusts which pitch you are selecting as a referrence point for the filter
  • Gain: Adjusts how much the volume increases or decreases 
  • Q (width): 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 lowpass filter allows lower frequencies to pass through while reducing or cutting higher frequencies
  • High Pass: A highpass filter does the opposite of a lowpass—it 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.
  • Peaking: 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
Mobile
  1. Open the Studio app and create a track.
