The horizontal axis shows increasing frequency; the vertical axis shows the gain or
attenuation at each frequency. If the curve is above the horizontal center line,
parts of the signal at that frequency will be boosted; if the curve is below the center
line, the signal will be attenuated.
Parametric equalization is useful in many different circumstances. For example,
you can use it to boost low frequencies or high frequencies, to attenuate 60-cycle
hum or high-frequency noise, or to boost a particular instrument sound for use in
other SONAR commands.
To Apply the Parametric Equalizer to Audio Data
1. Select the audio data to be affected.
2. Choose Audio Effects-Cakewalk-FxEq from the Process menu or from the
popup menu to open the Cakewalk FxEq dialog box.
3. Click band number 1 to set options for the Band 1, as described in the table
above.
4. Click band number 2 to set it as current and set parameters for the second
band. Repeat for as many bands as you need.
5. Click OK.
SONAR applies the composite filter to the selected data.
Adding Chorus
The Cakewalk-FxChorus command fattens the audio to make one instrument
sound like many. When many people sing together, for example, each of their
voices is slightly out of tune and off the beat. Therefore, detuning and delaying the
signal makes many instruments sound richer, including guitars, vocals, and
strings.
The Chorus effect has the ability to act on a stereo track or a stereo pair, a pair of
consecutive tracks, one of which is panned hard left (0), the other of which is
panned hard right (127). The feedback signal can be crossed between the tracks to
create a richer stereo effect.
