MODIFYING EQ SETTINGS
EQ settings can be adjusted from the Liquid Mix hardware or software; three dials per band are available
within the software window whereas the hardware provides three dials and a Band Select encoder. To edit
using the hardware, make sure the correct track is selected. The name of the currently active track on the
hardware (whatever is written in the Track box on that instance of the software, or ‘Plugin Number X’ if
nothing has been entered) is displayed at the top of the LCD screen. To choose a different track, press Track
select and choose from the list that appears.
Once the correct Track has been selected on the hardware, EQ settings can be modified by selecting the EQ
Band with the Data encoder and then using the available controls. The EQ controls on the hardware and
software are as follows:
EQ ON
The EQ is activated using the EQ On switch located in the bottom right section of the software and hardware.
All seven bands will be turned on/off regardless of the currently selected band.
BAND ON
On the hardware, pressing the Band On button (next to the EQ On button) with a particular Band selected on
the LCD screen above will activate that Band. On the software, there are separate Band On switches for each
band, located below the three corresponding dials.
GAIN
The Gain dial boosts or attenuates the gain of the selected band across a range dependant on the settings
of the original EQ. Rotate the control clockwise to increase. Note that for some band types, such as High-
Pass and Low-Pass, the Gain dial will be inactive because the only controls for such types are the (cutoff)
frequency and occasionally resonance.
FREQUENCY
The frequency dial determines the area of the frequency spectrum that the band acts upon. Rotate the
control clockwise to increase. Note that for some band types, such as a 3kHz peak/notch, the Frequency
dial will be inactive because that value is fixed.
Q
The Q dial defines the width of the band. The control has an inverse function so increasing its value by
rotating clockwise decreases the band’s width. A narrower band is more focussed and so has a powerful
effect on the sound, whereas a wider band will be washier but more obvious as it affects a larger area.
