Equalize Tool

The Equalize Tool boosts or cuts frequencies according to a user defined EQ envelope. The example below shows the effect of the selected EQ curve on a white noise sample. Frequency is displayed on the horizontal axis, time on the vertical axis (sample start is at the top, sample end is at the bottom) while intensity/saturation of color represents frequency amplitude.

To Open the Equalization Tool

To open the tool press (Ctrl+E) inside Slicex, or use the Tools > Spectral > EQ option.

Options

Editing envelopes - Right-click in the 'Envelope Editor Window' to add points, and left-click to move points and tension markers. Right-click points to open a context menu that will allow you to delete points or change the curve type. The default mid-line is 'no change'. Boost/Cut values appear in the FL Studio Hint Bar as the nodes and tension handles are moved.

Time is represented on the vertical axis and Frequency on the horizontal axis.

• Freq scale - Zooms the frequency scale for more or less precise EQ editing.
• Mix - Adjusts the level of the dry to wet signal.
• Smooth - Smooths the EQ envelope to reduce unwanted artifacts such as 'ringing'.
• Phases - Allows the envelope to change the phase of the sample, top of scale is 180 degrees, bottom -180 degrees.
• Reset - Resets the EQ envelope to the default state.
• Accept - Applies the EQ curve to the sample.
