Hi Sandra,

I assume you've tried the track and bus EQs built into Sonar, and those are
not registering any changes? I also assume you have HSC installed correctly.
If so, First you must enable the EQ plugin with Control# where # is 1 to 6
for each of the bands. Using Control-Alt-Tab, cycles you around the spot
ring for the selected band parameters, and adding shift key goes backwards.
When you include the windows keys to these combinations, you move between
the different spot rings, which in this case are the different bands of the
EQ. Using the first of a band's parameter, the Band # filter, you left-click
on it to choose what type of filter you want to use. If you want to remove
all frequencies above or below a given range, you can use the low pass and
high pass filters. If you want to attenuate a given frequency by up to -18
db, the peak/dip filter type should do that.
Next in the spot ring of that band, in other words if you press
control-alt-tab, you land on the frequency slider, which you can adjust with
up and down arrow keys, page up and down, or by double-clicking and typing
in a specific frequency value. Next in the spot ring is the Q slider, which
tells the EQ the width of the frequency you have selected should be
affected. The larger the number, the wider the range is affected below and
above your selected frequency.
Finally in the spot ring is the gain slider. After choosing all the other
parameters of the band, moving this slider should adjust the sound which you
should hear. Again the up and down arrows, and page up and down should
adjust this slider, and double-clicking and typing in a value will also
allow you to choose the gain nob by numbers exactly. If you adjust this
parameter after specifying the others, you should hear the change. If you do
not, you can also change from the default pre to post FX from the Track
Inspector view. As you arrow through the track inspector, there should be a
field which Jaws says "Blank field". Context key on this, and you should
hear the pre FX and post FX options as you again arrow through, and which is
checked.
Changing to post FX usually helps you hear EQ changes more audibly when you
are back in the EQ plugin window. That same blank field I mentioned earlier,
you can enter on it to re-open the plugin window.
Finally, and I should have said this earlier, but if you want to see these
things in the track inspector view, you have to find the Display option in
the inspector, and in there, make sure only EQ and Plot are the only items
selected, and perhaps also FX if you need to view FX parameters of other
plugins. Everything else such as pan and volume Etc should be unchecked.
Then, go to the Module Options in the track inspector, then to Eq and Plot
submenu, then choose plot resolution of 18 DB, which should allow you to
make more drastic EQ gain attenuation to suit your purposes.
I hope these tips help you. Let me know if I can help further.

Subject: [jsonar] Accessible digital Parametric E Q?
Hello Everyone,
I'm on the look out for an accessible parametric E Q plug in which
could be added to live audio as opposed to virtual instruments. I want
to remove frequencies rather than make sounds brighter or darker. I
have tried working with the FX plugins which come with Sonar and it
isn't registering any changes. I have investigated some physical
machines without much success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
