THRESHOLD knob determines how aggressive
the compressor will be in smoothing things out.
Turning the knob farther to the left give you more

The top knob pair is for the highest frequency range (the treble), providing a high shelf which
boosts all the audio at and above the frequency point you select. As you make changes to this an
the other EQ bands, the resulting EQ curve is shown in the EQ control panel's display area. The
second knob pair down controls a bandpass filter for the for the high-mids, boosting frequencies
at and around the frequency that you select. The third knob pair down is for the low mids, and the
bottom knob pair, for the bass, controls a low which boosts all the audio at and below the
frequency you select. Press the RESET button to "zero" out all the gains, and set each band to a
default frequency point, which is generally a good starting point when you want to make EQ
adjustments. As you make EQ adjustments, it's a good idea to frequently check what the Tone
sounds like with the EQ turned off, to make sure that you're really making improvements when
adding EQ!
