When the Internal side‑chain mode is selected, the ‘compressor’ takes its queue from the main incoming audio signal, and with the Auto button engaged the internal side‑chain adopts the frequency and Q values set in the main EQ Band. And third, there’s that Start control, which I’ll get to in a moment.īecause our EQ cut is dynamic, it is only applied when those pesky lower‑mid frequencies get out of hand the rest of the time, when the guitar’s tone is more balanced, the EQ leaves it alone. Second, the Gain setting limits the maximum amount of gain reduction applied by the EQ band. First, the automatic gain reduction is frequency‑specific. There are three key differences compared with a conventional compressor, though. Leaving Start at 0dB for now, the Ratio control will influence the amount of gain reduction, lowering the Threshold will then eventually make some gain reduction occur, and the speed of the compressor’s response can be adjusted using the Attack and Release controls. The Dynamics section offers the user a typical compressor’s control set (Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release) alongside a less familiar Start knob. For reasons that will become clear, this is a good starting point generally and ideal for this example. To do so, enable the Dynamics section in the middle, which will automatically enable the Side‑chain section in Internal mode and with Auto engaged. By making this EQ band dynamic we can avoid that unwanted side effect. Such EQ settings ought to remove some lower‑mid mud but a traditional static EQ cut also risks leaving the guitar sounding thin when the arrangement leaves it more exposed. I’ve left the band in the default Stereo processing mode there are also Left/Right and Mid/Sides options, but I’ll cover them another time. I’ve selected a Peak filter and, in the EQ section (on the left), applied a 12dB cut at 200Hz, with a Q (which dictates how wide the filter is) of 2. In Screen 1 above, I’ve toggled on Frequency 2’s SING (single‑band) view, so all controls for the selected band are visible. Let’s start with a simple example: an acoustic guitar track, whose lower‑mids we wish to ensure don’t get out of control.

If you’ve not yet upgraded to v11, or aren’t a Pro version user, don’t worry: you can still follow the examples using a freebie dynamic EQ such as Tokyo Dawn Labs Nova and perhaps upgrade later.

Version 11 of Cubase Pro added dynamic functionality to the already excellent bundled Frequency EQ plug‑in, and in this workshop I’ll take you through some examples that demonstrate what you might look to achieve with it in your mixes. In Frequency 2, Cubase 11 Pro has a powerful dynamic EQ. Frequency 2 combines powerful EQ and dynamics control in a single processor.
