![]() The peaking filter either attenuates or accentuates (boosts the volume) of a range of frequencies that are around the center frequency. Listen to the audio clip to hear it in action. This is opposite to the Band Pass Filter. The notch filter attenuates the frequencies that are around (on both sides) of the center frequency and passes through the others. The Band Pass Filter allows only a range of frequencies that are around the center frequency to pass through in a shape of a bell and attenuates the frequencies that are outside the center frequency on both sides. Check out the audio example below to hear what it sounds like. The High Pass Filter is good for removing low frequencies from sounds. It’s the exact opposite of Low Pass Filter. The High Pass Filter passes high frequencies that are above (or after) the cut-off point and attenuates frequencies that are below (or before) the cut-off point. This filter passes low frequencies that are below (or before) the “cut-off point” and attenuates (reduces the volume) of the frequencies above the cut-off point.Ĭheck the sound clip below the picture to hear how the Low Pass Filter affects the sound. There’s seven different types of filters in the Fruity Parametric EQ 2, which I’ll go over one-by-one below. This is how the drum loop sounds dry (without EQ): Next, I’m going to introduce the filters and how they affect to the sound.įirstly, I’m going to use a drum loop as an example of how the eq can be used to manipulate frequencies, which should make it very obvious to your ears. Note that the slider is disabled for Low Pass, Band Pass, and Notch filters because they don’t use this parameter. ![]() You can also control the level via Band Tokens. Use these to adjust the equalization level. You can also control bandwidth by using your mouse wheel when the cursors is on the Band Token. In other words, the sharpness of the band of frequencies. The Bandwidth Controller controls the width of a band.This is another controller you can use to control the center frequency or cut-off point in addition to Band Tokens. The eq curve is based on the selected filter type, Filter Slope and Bandwidth. The Frequency Spectrum Analyzer monitors the signal and shows all the frequencies it detects in real time.You can also control the equalization level, select the Band Type and Filter Slope directly via Band Tokens by right-clicking it. By dragging the Band Token via the mouse, you can control the center frequency (or cut-off point). Band Token – You can use Band Tokens for pretty much all the EQ manipulation you need to do.Filter Slope Selector – Use this to select how steep or gentle you want the filter slope to be.Band Type Selector – This is where you select the filter type.But before we discuss the filters, look at the pic below, and I’ll explain what the controls are first: ![]() When you first open the Fruity Parametric EQ 2, it opens with neutral settings – no boosting or cutting – with all seven bands enabled.įor each band, you can independently choose a filter type. It’s a surprisingly good EQ and is my go-to tool for almost all of my equalization needs in my music production. ![]() I’m going to use the Fruity Parametric EQ 2 parametric equalizer to show you what the different filters do to a sound. Instead of adding another technical guide to the many out there, I’m just going to show you how the eq affects to the sound. The Internet is full of in-depth and very technical equalization tutorials. But when you mix it with the original bassline they will sound a lot more cohesive. Now that lead synth will sound little bit thinner when you’re listening to it in solo. Take one of those sounds (most likely that fat lead synth), and decrease the volume of the low frequencies. Both may have quite a bit of low end, and when you try to mix them together, they overlap causing the low end to sound blurry or distortion. You have two bass sounds – bassline and big fat lead synth in this case. With it, you can cut the unwanted frequencies or boost the ones that need to be more present. Proper use of equalizer can indeed make your songs sound significantly better. Equalization in audio production is the process of adjusting the volume of specific audio frequencies to obtain a balanced frequency spectrum.
