ADOBE AUDITION 157 User Guide Quick Filter Quick Filter is an 8-band equalizer can be easily customized to suit many filtering needs. It works much the same as a standard audio equalizer does, except that the bands act a bit differently. The highest frequency band will increase or decrease the high end, but it will also increase or decrease frequencies all the way down to the lowest band. It will, however, increase or decrease the high frequencies more than the low ones, of course. The effect is close to an equalizer, but not quite. Essentially, this is a quick and easy function for changing the tone of your sample to make it more pleasing to the ears. Quick Filter dialog Initial Settings When the Lock to these settings only box isn't checked, choose this tab to select the initial EQ settings. Final Settings When the Lock to these settings only box isn't checked, choose this tab to select the final EQ settings. Lock to these settings only Equalize or vary settings with this option. • Check this box to equalize the entire selected range with the setting shown. • Uncheck this box to select separate initial and final equalization settings, so that the selection can smoothly glide from the initial equalization setting to the final setting over the selected range. Click on the appropriate tab to change Initial and Final Settings. Equalizer Bands Adjust these sliders to increase or decrease the frequency component specified beneath the slider. Amplitude is shown above each slider. Master Gain This control adjusts the equalizer's overall level. Sliders are provided for both the left and right channels of stereo waveforms. Many times when you increase the EQ frequencies of a waveform, the waveform's volume is increased as well, which could lead to clipping. Use the Master Gain sliders to reduce the level before applying the effect. Lock L/R: This functions as a toggle to let you adjust channels together or separately.
