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

StudioEQ is a high-quality 4-band parametric stereo equalizer where all four bands function as fully parametric peak filters, while the low and high bands can additionally operate as shelving filters (three types) or cut filters (low-pass/high-pass). It offers graphical editing, frequency entry by note value with cent offset support, and an Auto Gain function to maintain output level consistency across EQ adjustments.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

014-band parametric equalizer with stereo processing
02All bands function as peak filters; low/high bands add shelving or cut filter modes
03Three shelving filter types: Shelf I (resonance opposite gain direction), Shelf II (resonance at set frequency), Shelf III (combination)
04Frequency entry in Hz or note values with cent offset (e.g., A5 -23, C4 +49)
05Graphical editor with Alt-click frequency adjustment and Shift-click Q control
06Inv button to invert gain for noise cancellation
07Auto Gain to maintain output level regardless of EQ settings
08Input/Output spectrum visualization

Things to Try

  • 01Boost a frequency with positive gain to locate unwanted noise, then use the Inv button to cancel it out
  • 02Use note value entry (e.g., A3 for 440 Hz) with cent offsets for harmonic precision in frequency selection
  • 03Adjust Q parameter by Shift-clicking and moving vertically or scrolling the mouse wheel on a graphical handle
  • 04Activate Auto Gain to maintain consistent output level while exploring different EQ configurations
