Frequency

Steinberg

Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net

Frequency 2 is a high-quality parametric equalizer featuring 8 fully parametric bands that can operate as shelving, peak, notch, or cut filters (6, 12, 24, 48, or 96 dB/octave). Each band supports independent internal or external side-chaining and dynamic filtering to intelligently apply EQ based on input signal dynamics, with optional linear phase processing to maintain phase coherence.

04Independent internal or external side-chaining for each band
05Linear phase processing mode to avoid phase shifts
06Left/Right and Mid/Side stereo processing modes
07Auto Listen isolates frequency ranges during editing

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Auto Listen and edit a band parameter to isolate and locate unwanted frequencies in your audio
  • 02Activate Linear Phase Processing in Mid/Side mode to avoid unwanted sound colorization
  • 03Use dynamic filtering with threshold and ratio controls to apply EQ only when signal levels exceed the threshold
  • 04Drag color indicators on the keyboard below the graphical editor to set band frequencies to exact note values
