Equalizer

To open the Equalizer, select Tools>Equalizer from the Tools Menu. (The 10-Band Equalizer is a RealOne Premium Feature.)

The Equalizer panel lets you customize the frequency response of the RealOne Player audio output. Each vertical slider controls the signal gain for a specific frequency range. Overall output volume and special effects (such as Reverb) are also controlled by sliders.

BUTTON

DESCRIPTION

Equalizer on/off

(Default is Off) Turns your Equalizer on and off; green is on. (Due to buffering, it may take up to 3 seconds to hear the effect of turning the equalizer on or off.)

Note:
In some cases the Equalizer will slow down your machine. Turning it off should return your computer to its normal speed.

Settings:

A drop-down box with several preset custom slider settings. Selecting a specific name will adjust the sliders to the saved settings.

Saves the current settings with a name for later use. After a setting has been saved, you can recall it any time by selecting it from the drop-down list.

Deletes the setting currently displayed in the drop-down area to the left of this button.

Gain Slider

The central sliders adjust specific frequency ranges to your own preferences. Sliders also have Keyboard Shortcuts.

Room Size

Adjusting this slider to alter the sound so that it appears to be coming from a larger (to the right) or smaller room (to the left).

Reverb is a measure of how much sound is reflected (echoes) in a room. A very full room has little reverberation while an empty room would reverberate a great deal. Combine the Reverb effect with Room size to alter the sound and feel of a performance.

Pregain

Input: Increases or decreases the gain of the incoming signal before you adjust it with the Equalizer. (Similar to the pre-amp on a stereo system.)

Automatic: When selected, RealOne Player normalizes the sound so that all the clips you play will have roughly the same volume regardless of the level at which they were recorded.
