EQ Options


The EQ tab lets you control Ozone's equalizer module options.

Equalizer Options

Equalizer Options

Freq. Res

This controls the resolution of the EQ when used in the Digital or Matching modes. Higher filter sizes will result in more precise frequency resolution, at the expense of more CPU.

Buffer size

Sets the buffer size for the Digital and Matching EQ. See Buffer Sizes for more info.

Soft Saturation

Turns on an algorithm which will gradually rolloff the level through EQ bands if they start to saturate. Ozone can accurately process signals with extended dynamic ranges and you can leave this off in most cases. The exception would be if you had reordered the modules so that the Paragraphic Equalizer was the absolute last process in the chain, in which case this option can soften any clipping that occurs in the EQ before being sent to the output.

Link EQ curve and info panel selections

When enabled, the EQ curve's selected band will automatically update when changes are made in the info panel. This makes it easy to find which band you're changing in the info panel. Also, when you change the active band by clicking on the EQ curve, the focus will move to the new active band.

Alt-Solo Filter Q

Allows you to set the default Q or width of the filter that is activated when Alt-clicking on the Paragraphic Equalizer.

Analog Matching

When enabled, the EQ filter shapes are more closely matched to their analog prototypes than conventional digital designs that exhibit warping at high frequencies.

Show Legend

Shows the EQ legend for frequency response curve colors

Show Extra Curves

When enabled, new curve options may be viewed.  This allows you to view Phase Delay, Phase Response, and Group Delay.

Phase Delay – A calculation of phase response represented in time (ms).  This curve is useful in all equalization modes.

Phase Response – A calculation of phase response represented in degrees.  This curve is most useful when using analog or minimum phase equalization. 

Group Delay – A calculation of the delay of amplitude envelopes in time (ms)  This curve is most useful when working with transients.

Show Scale Grid

Underlays a grid representing frequency and level in the spectrum window.
Spectrum Options

Enable EQ Spectrum

Turns on or off the spectrum meter in the Equalizer module.

Show Hz/dB readout

Allows you to display a continuous readout of the mouse position (in Hertz and decibels) when in the Equalizer module.

Show musical units

Allows you to display frequency labels as notes (for example, A 4) in addition to Hz.
