A peaking band is simply a boost or a cut around a specific frequency. Note that you can turn off bands you don’t need and save CPU.

Here we have bands 3 and 5 set as peaking band types. Let’s begin by going through the different band types. I’ll explain some of the other buttons and sliders at the end of this basic guide. This is all you need to know to get started. The filter slope settings change how steep or gentle the curves of the band are, as we go through the different shapes try adjusting the slope to see how this changes the shape of the band. I’ll outline the band types and their uses below. You can also choose the band type and slope by right-clicking on the band token. In the area marked 2 you can see the settings for each of the bands, the top shape represents the Band Type and the dots below represent the Filter Slope and they can be adjusted by clicking and dragging or hovering over them and using the mouse wheel.

Using the mouse wheel over a token adjusts the bandwidth of that band. You can simply drag the band tokens around to change the center frequency and the equalisation level of each band. In the image above the Band Tokens are marked with a 1 and the Band Type and Filter Slope Selectors are marked with a 2. There is also a global gain slider to adjust the overall volume. The Fruity Parametric EQ 2 comes with seven bands which can be any of eight different ‘shapes’ and can have their frequency, width and slope adjusted as required. That way you can try out the different options as I explain them and really hear how they affect the sound. I would recommend that you have FL Studio open with the Fruity Parametric EQ 2 loaded up in a channel with audio running through it whilst reading this guide.

you may want to bookmark this page so you have it on hand for reference. In this post I’ll explain the basic controls of the Fruity Parametric EQ 2 so you can make the best use of it in your music. The Fruity Parametric EQ 2 is my go-to equaliser in FL Studio as it is easy to use and includes spectral analysis, so as well as hearing what you’re doing you can see how you’re affecting the audio signal. This can drastically or very subtly affect the tone of any audio signal and is essential when mixing to ensure every element is in its place and there is no masking or muddiness. It allows you to increase or decrease the volume of specific frequencies in a variety of ways. An equaliser is probably the most fundamentally important tool you need when producing and mixing music.
