Hi

I recently read this article in SOS about the Match EQ:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct11/articles/logic-1011.htm

The basic idea being that you can insert the Match EQ on (for example) an acoustic guitar track channel and then side chain it to (for example) a vox track; and then use the apply fader to attenuate those frequencies in the guitar channel that appear in the vox track. The aim being to make more space for the vox.

So Ive been trying out using the Match EQ in this way and it seems pretty useful. However, when sliding the apply slider to a minus percentage you not only attenuate the frequencies that are present in the channel the Match EQ it is side chained to, you also increase the frequencies that aren't prominent in this same channel. So for example you might end up with a large frequency increase above 5K... and perhaps below 100Hz - so you then have to add another channel EQ to take these frequencies out.

Is there any way round this? Obviously you cant copy and paste to a channel EQ, and I read that manually copying the frequencies over to a channel EQ won't work in quite the same way...

Thanks

ozone mastering has an eq match tool in it. i think it could be pretty useful

Ok so I figured out how to do it... For anyone searching for this question: To get rid of the increases in frequencies at the top and bottom end of the spectrum - click on the triangle at the bottom left of the Match EQ and click 'fade extremes'. You can then grab and drag the faded areas which appear on the GUI to exclude the increases in the top and bottom frequencies.

TheParty007 - thanks for your reply. I have Ozone so Ill check it out.
