Creating a Band

Hover the mouse over the Curve Display, and a blue dotted Voiced Band or red dotted Sibilant Band will appear. To create the Band, simply left-click and drag in the dotted area.

Both the Voiced and Sibilant paths can have up to four Bands each:

Voiced path: Bell, High Shelf, and Air band types.
Sibilants path: Bell, High Shelf, and Low Pass band types.

You can also choose the Band Type based on the area where you click in the Curve Display:

Zone 1: Left-click and drag to create a Bell Band.
Zone 2: Left-click and drag to create a High Shelf Band.
Zone 3: Left-click and drag to create an Air Band (Voiced path) or a Low Pass Band (Sibilants path).

Adjusting a Band

Highlight the Band you'd like to adjust by hovering over it. Then:

Frequency: Click + drag horizontally to adjust.
Gain: Click + drag vertically to adjust. On a Low Pass Band, this adjusts the Slope instead.
Q: Shift-click + drag vertically or use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the Band's Q.
Right-click a Band to change the Band Type, remove it, or reset the path EQ.
Double-click a Band to bypass it.

Locking the EQs

To avoid accidental EQ adjustments, the e²deesser offers the ability to lock the EQ by clicking on the "Lock" labels located below the graph.

Note: The Lock EQ setting is specific to a single instance of e²deesser. It is not stored in Presets, Snapshot Slots, or Default Presets — it is stored only in the DAW’s session file.

Auto-Zoom

The Auto-Zoom feature automatically zooms in or out vertically to always provide the most precise band display.

Minimum Zoom: -6dB to +6dB window.
Maximum Zoom: -36dB to +36dB window.

Click the "Zoom Auto" label to switch to Manual Zoom mode. In Manual Zoom, you can use your scroll wheel or trackpad in the amplitude scale area to zoom in and out freely.
