I noticed in Adobe Audition there is a thing called Scientific Filters that has Lo Pass and High Pass with alot of other options...Should I use that or Graphic Equalizer?? because i dont know even if yu can lo pass or high pass using the para eq in Adobe?? by looking at scientific filters in adobe it seems easy to use...just type in the hz ammount...someone who uses Adobe Audition please enlighten me on what filters I should use when eqing...just para or graphic and para and scientific all together??

Thank You
 
The differences are really more on how they attenuate or boost frequencies.

Parametric seems to be harder for people to understand, so I would say to stick with the graphic EQ for now.


-Graphic EQs are better with broad adjustments on a set frequency. You can't adjust a specific frequency since they are set to octaves.

-Parametric EQs are better for fine details. You can adjust things like a slightly more specific freq range and adjust the width of frequencies affected (that would be your Q or bandwith setting). That comes in handy when you want to target a specific buzz, hum or any other problem that is frequency specific.


Remember, any adjustments with EQ could mean some sort of phase shift.

2000 Hz isn't a specific frequency? Or 63 Hz? The bandwidth on graphics is fixed, but the frequency points are specific. Be carful with your wording.

True, but they're also better for general equalizing since you can pick the frequency you're adjusting. I rarely, if not never, use graphic eqs on my tracks. It's so worth learning how to use a parametric.

When I'm talking specific, I mean specific. For my purposes, graphic EQs are too broad. So my wording is just fine. I personally never use a graphic EQ. Those are reserved mostly for tuning a studio sound system or a live sound system.


Using a graphic EQ is a gradual step into parametric, which is why I recommended learning a graphic EQ before the parametric.
 
yea but im talkin about THE SCIENTIFIC FILTERS in adobe audition
