Atem Constellation HD - Using the 6 Band Parametric Equalizer; Parametric Equalizer

Input Level
Generally, when setting up your audio mix, the first step is to normalize all your inputs. This
means adjusting the input level knob on each input so you can optimize all the levels to their
highest strength without clipping.
This control is at the top of each track under the tally light. Change the level by clicking on the
knob and dragging left to decrease the level, or right to increase. By setting the input control,
itbrings all the inputs up to a common signal strength so they are all at their strongest without
clipping. Then you can start making advanced changes and refinements.
After you have normalized all your input levels, you can now begin optimizing and shaping the
qualities in each audio input using the 6 band parametric equalizer and dynamics controls.’
Using the 6 Band Parametric Equalizer
Each input and the master output, has a 6 band parametric equalizer which can be used
to control specific frequencies. This could include reducing low frequency hum or noise
on a microphone input, or boosting the low frequencies on a thin sounding track, or even
to add uniqueness to each input so they are more distinct in the final mix. You have many
creative options.
Parametric Equalizer
To open the parametric equalizer for an input or the master output, click on the corresponding
equalizer indicator.

The first item you will notice is the graph along the top of the window with numbered indicators
from 1 to 6. These numbered indicators are adjustable handles that correspond to bands 1 to 6.
Each band of the 6 band parametric equalizer has a column of settings. These settings will
differ based on which band you are controlling and what filter type you are using.
