<h2>ACE EQ</h2>
<p>
Equalizers are commonly used to shape the sound, change timbre of an
instrument and generally help it sit better in a mix.
</p>
<p>
ACE EQ is a simple 4-band equalizer with a low and a high shelves.
All bands and shelves are optional and can be disabled by clicking on
the outer border of respective parameters boxes.
</p>
<p>
For each band it's possible to set the base frequency, the gain level,
and the bandwidth. The latter defines how much frequencies around the base
frequency are affected by the gain adjustment. In an example below, the first
band has the narrowest bandwidth of 0.1, and the third band has the default
banwidth of 1.0. While both bands have a gain of +10dB, the first one is very
narrow, but the third one is wide enough so that changes begin affecting
frequencies that belong to neighboring frequency bands.

<p>There are three ways to adjust both frequency, gain, and bandwidth:</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Directly on the diagram</strong>. Dragging the band mark
(1 through 4) left and right changes the frequency, dragging it up and down
changes the gain. Scrolling the mouse wheel over the band mark changes the
bandwidth.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>In the bottom parameters boxes</strong>. Scrolling the mouse
wheel over a setting changes its value. This is also where and how the master
output can be adjusted.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Numerically via the generic plugin UI</strong>. This user
interface can be displayed by right-clicking on the plugin in the mixer
channel and choosing the <em>Edit with generic controls…</em> option.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>ACE EQ also provides an inline display for mixer channels:</p>
