Lesson 3: Multiband Applications
How To Achieve Tonal Balance
It is often desirable to preserve the soundŢleOs original tonal balance while
beneŢting from using multiband mode. The key element in preserving
tonal balance is having each band get the same amount of gain at the same
time. You can do this by offsetting the input level of the Ohotter� bands to
equal the lowest level band. The following exercise demonstrates two dif-
ferent ways to achieve this.
1. Start playback with looping.
2. Press and hold the OFlat� button for about 2 seconds.
Offsetting the inputs
so that they are about
equal insures that all
the bands receive the
same gain.
The Input Offset values for each band are automatically adjusted so that
they have equal amounts of gain reduction over the period of time the
Flat button is held down. That is, the Input Offset values are adjusted so
that the bands receive, on the average, equal amounts of gain reduction
as measured over the period the button is held down. This technique is
applicable when the natural tonal coloration of the sound does not vary,
as is the case with a single speakerOs voice.
3. Choose Full Band in the Filter Mode menu.
Notice how the 1 band tonal balance closely matches the tonal balance of
the adjusted 3 band sound.
4. Click on the OReset� button to zero the Input Offset values.
5. Click on the OVariable� button.
