6 - Using the Settings Panel s AUX MASTER 2-4 knobs and indicators Use these to adjust the send master levels of the signals sent to the AUX 2-4 buses. Range: inf to 6 dB (default: 0 dB) Use the mouse to click and drag the 2-4 knobs up or down to adjust the send levels. While dragging the mouse, the value being adjusted is shown below and to the right of the 2-4 knobs. The indicator lights blue at levels of 0 dB or less and yellow at levels from 0 dB to 6 dB. d STEREO MASTER fader Use to adjust the level of the output signal. Use the mouse to click and drag the master fader up or down to adjust the master level. The value being being adjusted is shown in the master fader level display area (g). f STEREO MASTER level meters The master levels are shown by this stereo level meter. The STEREO MASTER level meters appear green at levels of -12 dB or less, yellow at levels from -12 dB to -6 dB and red at levels above -6 dB. Each level meter has an overload indicator at its top. NOTE The master level meters show the levels after being adjusted by the fader (post fader). The level meters are affected by fader adjustments and channels being muted. g STEREO MASTER fader level display area This shows the level of the master fader as a numerical decibel value. EQUALIZER (4-band parametric EQ) display area overview Use this to increase or decrease the levels of specific frequency ranges. This can be used, for example, to enhance the sound of individual instruments, to adjust the balance of a wide frequency range and to cut specific unwanted frequencies. The equalizer has a high-shelf HIGH band, a low-shelf LOW band and peaking (bell-shaped) HIGH MID and LOW MID bands. 1 EQ graph The frequency response at the current settings is shown as a graph. The graph is shown even when the equalizer is off. 2 GAIN (HIGH/HIGH MID/LOW MID/LOW) knobs Set the amount the levels are increased or decreased for the HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID and LOW bands. Range: ±12 dB (default: 0 dB) 3 FREQ (HIGH/HIGH MID/LOW MID/LOW) knobs Set the cutoff frequencies of the HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID and LOW bands. Ranges HIGH: 1.7 kHz - 18.0 kHz (default: 5 kHz) HIGH MID: 32 Hz - 18.0 kHz (default: 1.2 kHz) LOW MID: 32 Hz - 18.0 kHz (default: 300 Hz) LOW: 32 Hz - 1.6 kHz (default: 80 Hz) 4 Q (HIGH MID/LOW MID) knobs Set the acutenesses of the peaks of the HIGH MID and LOW MID bands. The higher the value the more acute it becomes, making it affect a narrower frequency band. The lower the value, the less acute it becomes, making it affect a broader frequency band. Ranges HIGH MID: 0.25 - 16.00 (default: 1.00) LOW MID: 0.25 - 16.00 (default: 1.00) 5 LCF button Click the LCF button to enable a low cut filter that cuts noise and other sounds at low frequencies. The LCF button lights when enabled. (Default: off ) 18 TASCAM US-20x20
