USING SOUNDBOOTH CS4 55 Effects Use the graphic equalizer to quickly enhance voice-overs and music tracks, reproduce the muffled sound of telephone audio, and more. Standard settings Low Controls a shelving EQ centered at 125 Hz. Low-Mid Controls a peaking EQ at 500 Hz. High-Mid Controls a peaking EQ at 2,000 Hz. High Controls a shelving EQ at 8,000 Hz. Advanced settings Bands buttons Increase or decrease control by narrowing or expanding each frequency band. Options include intervals of one octave (10 Bands), one-half octave (20 Bands), or one-third octave (30 Bands). Frequency sliders Set the amplitude level of each frequency band. See also "Applying effects" on page 49 EQ: Parametric effect The EQ: Parametric effect provides maximum control over tonal equalization. Unlike the graphic equalizer, which provides a fixed number of frequencies and Q bandwidths, the parametric equalizer gives you total control over frequency, Q, and gain settings. For example, you can simultaneously reduce a small range of frequencies centered around 1000 Hz, boost a broad low-frequency shelf starting around 80 Hz, and insert a 60-Hz notch filter. Use the standard version of this effect to quickly apply preset equalization curves. Use the advanced version to precisely adjust such curves. Standard settings Amount Controls the ratio of original to equalized sound. Advanced settings Graph Shows frequency along the horizontal ruler (x-axis) and amplitude along the vertical ruler (y-axis), with the curve representing the amplitude change at specific frequencies. Frequencies in the graph range from lowest to highest in a logarithmic fashion (evenly spaced by octaves). Drag control points in the graph to visually adjust settings below. Highpass and Lowpass Enable Activate shelving filters at either end of the frequency spectrum. Band Enable Activates a peaking filter in the center of the frequency spectrum. Hz Indicates the center frequency of each frequency band. dB Indicates the level of each frequency band. Updated 15 July 2009

EQ: Parametric effect
The EQ: Parametric effect provides maximum control over tonal equalization. Unlike the graphic equalizer, which
provides a fixed number of frequencies and Q bandwidths, the parametric equalizer gives you total control over
frequency, Q, and gain settings. For example, you can simultaneously reduce a small range of frequencies centered
around 1000
