<br>
ParamEQ is a plug-in for Buzz. It is a multiband parametric equalizer.
Each band can be a peak, a notch or a shelf in the frequency
spectrum.<br>
<br>
Parametric equalizers are useful for both sound sculpture and
mastering. This one works in mono and stereo. It is also
"Constant-Q" which means that the bandwidth automatically
adapts to the center freqency of the band. This helps musician or
sound engineer to work more intuitively and faster.<br>
<br>
Default setting has 4 bands, which is enough for most applications.
However you can use as many band as you want. Just add new tracks to
the machine.<br>

<td class="Txt">
<br>
Just copy <B>FireSledge ParamEQ.dll</b> in your
Buzz/Gear/Effects/ directory. Restart Buzz if it was still
running.<br>
<br>
To put ParamEQ into your song, go in the machine view and
right-click on the background. Select New > Effect >
EQ > FireSledge ParamEQ. If it can't be found here,
try in Effects > Unsorted.<br>
<br>
Now you just have to connect ParamEQ between two machines.<br>

This filter boost or cut a group of specific

It is the sound level in on the middle of the bell or at
