Nota EQ-8
Nota EQ-8 is a mixing-console equalizer with eight bands. Use it to clean up mud, cut rumble, add air, carve space for one sound around another — on the stereo pair, the mid or the side.
The graph
Section titled “The graph”Each band is a numbered node on the response curve — drag it: sideways for frequency, up and down for gain. The band chips above the graph switch bands on and off and select one for the panel on the right. Analyzer in the corner shows the spectrum Pre or Post EQ, or Off.
A band
Section titled “A band”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Type | Low cut, Low shelf, Bell, Notch, High shelf, High cut |
| Freq · Gain · Q | Where, how much, how wide (on the cuts, Reso) |
| Slope | For the cuts: 12, 24 or 48 dB per octave |
| Channel | St (both channels), Mid, Side, L or R — so a band can brighten only the sides, or tame one channel |
Global
Section titled “Global”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Scale | Multiplies every shelf and bell gain at once, 0–200 % — 50 % halves the whole curve |
| Output | Output trim |
| Auto gain | Compensates the average level change of the shelves and bells, so you judge an edit at the same loudness |
Presets
Section titled “Presets”34 factory presets: tone (Bass Boost, Air & Presence, Smile Curve, Loudness Contour, Master Tilt), cleanup (Low Cut, Sub Rumble Filter, Mud Cut, Hum Removal 50 Hz / 60 Hz, Mono Low End), mix (Clean Mix Bus, Pad Tuck, Double-Track Split, Wide Air, Focus Center), vocals (Vocal Presence, De-Box Vocal, Sibilance Tamer, Podcast Voice), drums (Kick Punch, Snare Crack, Overheads Air, Hi-Hat Clean), instruments (Bass Definition, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar Cab, Piano Clarity) and colour (Telephone, Lo-Fi Radio, Band Pass).
- Cut narrow, boost wide: find a harsh frequency with a narrow, boosted bell, then flip it to a cut.
- Mono lows: a low cut on the Side band around 120 Hz keeps the bass centred.
