Simple method to lower volume of multiple frequencies?

Post by tillman » Fri Oct 15, 2010 10:35 pm

Hey, is there a simple way to lower the volume of multiple frequencies?

My goal is to lower the volume of 'A' across the board, e.g.

.
.
A1 - 110Hz
A2 - 220Hz
A3 - 440Hz
A4 - 880Hz
.
.

I've always had great success smoothing out volume inequalities with the EQ Eight. It does however seem a bit limited for something like this. Is there another way to do this I'm missing? The only thing I can figure out is using multiple EQ Eight instances, but all this has the potential to become pretty messy..

You should just need to use 1 EQ 8. An EQ is really nothing more then a volume control for particular frequencies anyway. So just create poles at 110, 220, 440 and 880Hz and then take really deep cuts out of them with a really thin bandwidth. Should be fine. After you have used all the poles on EQ8 get another EQ8 and do it again. Then if your unhappy with the mess just fold them up by double clicking on the grey bar on the top of the plugin. Or group them in a rack.

Cheers,
Bill.
