What EQ in FL studio has the most precision?
- The off-line Equalize Tool in Edison provides the greatest precision of all the EQ plugins.
- -You are essentially printing the dynamic EQ in the place where you want.
FL STUDIO - Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Parameters
Band Type & Filter Slope Selectors
-Note that the upper section shows different shapes (Band Type) with dots below each shape (Filter Slope).
FL STUDIO - Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Parameters
How to change band type?
- Left-click and drag up/down to change the filter type between OFF and:
- -Low Pass - Filters high frequencies starting around the cutoff.
- –Band Pass - Allows a narrow band to pass either side of the cutoff.
- —High Pass - Filters low frequencies starting at the cutoff.
- —-Notch - Cuts frequencies around the cutoff
- —–Low Shelf - Similar to a bass EQ.
- ——Peaking - The default, affects only frequencies around the cutoff.
- ——-High Shelf - Like a treble EQ.
FL STUDIO - Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Parameters
How to change Filter Slope?
- Left-click and drag up/down on the dot/s below each band shape to select filter slope:
- -Drag Down - Steep 4 (-24 dB/Oct), Steep 6 (-36 dB/Oct)& Steep 8 (-48 dB/Oct).
- –Center - 2 (-12 dB/Oct).
- —Drag Up - Gentle 4 (-24 dB/Oct), Gentle 6 (-36 dB/Oct) & Gentle 8 (-48 dB/Oct).
- —-Steep and Gentle filters have the same slope but differ around the cutoff frequency. Gentle filters have a more gradual acceleration into the main slope, and so filter more leading into the cutoff frequency compared to the Steep type. Gentle varies between -6 dB (Gentle 4) and -12 dB (Gentle 8) at the cutoff while Steep is always around -3 dB at the cutoff.

-Increases the resolution of the background frequency spectrum monitoring at the expense of display latency (plugin audio latency remains unaffected).
FL STUDIO - Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Options and Settings
Legacy monitor
- Switches to the frequency-spectrograph algorithm used prior to FL Studio 12.

FL STUDIO - Fruity Peak Controller
What is Fruity Peak Controller?
- Fruity Peak Controller one of many internal controllers and it is used to automate targets in response to the volume envelope of an input sound AND OR its own intenal LFO generator.
- -A typical use of the Peak Controller is to create ‘Sidechain compression’ style effects by putting Peak Controller on the kick track and use the automation signal to control (duck) the volume of other Mixer tracks
FL STUDIO - Fruity Peak Controller
Envelope colors:
Orange envelope -
Green envelope -
White envelope - .
- Orange envelope - Peak automation.
- -Green envelope - LFO automation.
- –White envelope - Peak + LFO automation.
- —-NOTES: 1. Hold the Vol click and hold Peak or LFO controls to see their envelopes in isolation. 2. Fruity Peak Controller will only use input signals above -50 dB.
FL STUDIO - Fruity Peak Controller - Setup
How to set up?
- Load the Peak Controller on the Mixer Track that has the audio signal to control the target parameter.
- -To hear the control audio, disable the MUTE switch on the lower-right corner of the Peak Controller plugin.
- –Peak Controller will appear as an ‘Internal controller’ link option in the ‘Link to controller > Link assignment’ Right-click link dialog.

Peak Controls, Audio input peaks
Volume (VOL)
- Maximum value of the control output.
- -The control is bi-polar with values from -200% (maximum to left) to 200% (maximum right).
- –When using positive values a higher volume means higher Peak Control output values.
- —Negative volumes result in a ‘ducking’ effect where the Peak Controller output is negative and dips with each input peak.
- —-You will need to set this in conjunction with the Base level to create ‘sidechain pumping’ effects.
- —–Turn up the Base and then turn the Volume to negative.
