Band Practice in brief
- What it is
- A 24-band EQ, transparent and high-end.
- What it sounds like
- Clean and precise, from a broad tone change to a narrow fix.
How it is built
Each of the 24 bands can be a bell, shelf, cut, notch, band-pass, tilt or all-pass, ten shapes in all, and each can sit on both channels, the left or the right. Zero Latency, Natural Phase and Linear Phase modes trade latency against phase behaviour, and Linear Phase has five resolutions. Gain Scale changes the strength of the whole curve at once. Auto Gain and a matched bypass keep comparisons fair.
Left and right, not mid and side
Any band can sit on both channels, the left or the right. That fixes a bright guitar on one side or a microphone problem in one channel. It is not mid/side processing. Every band is static, so a cut stays on through the whole track. For an S that comes and goes, use a de-esser.
