Waves Q-Clone Stereo Equalizer User Manual


 
If the set up is not working properly, you will see the word “Waiting” in one or
both parts of the GUI. This can happen when the physical loop between your
audio host, audio card and EQ hardware device is not complete. You would also
get the "Waiting" message if the I/O on the Audio/AUX channel is not assigned to
the correct I/O of your audio card.
After opening the Q-Capture you will see that the calibration fader is set to give
14db of headroom by default. This 14db is the amount of headroom (+/-) that
most EQ hardware devices allow you to work with. This means that every gain
parameter in your EQ device has a gain space from -14db (cut) to +14 db
(boost). In EQ devices that have less then 14db of headroom, we recommend
calibrating to 14db in order to be on the safe side if the EQ device is not
calibrated internally.
The Headroom fader will control the output and the input of the Q-Capture signal
together.
Adjust your Hardware general output gain with the input meter. The goal is to
match the levels of the ‘In’ and the ‘Out’ meters.
Now open the Q-Clone component and see that the frequency response line in
the frequency display is flat on the 0db axis.
If the line is not exactly on the 0db line you can still match it to this point by
changing the output gain of your EQ hardware device (using the EQ device fader
or knob).
