I too am guilty of asking questions that have answers in the guide 😉

Podium’s built in help system is very useful:

  • Help > Enable Panel Help. This puts a readout in the Inspector. The information is relevant to what lies under your mouse pointer.
  • or Help > Enable Popup Help.

I actually checked zPEQ… “How can anybody make an eq with no pass filters, for mixing?”
… Anyway, as I read what you had written about zReverb I loaded Zeffects again and saw that the zPEQ was a full featured eq…

About zPEQ:

  • You can resize the window for finer edits.
  • Each of the 6 bands can be set to one of the following:
    1. Low shelf
    2. High shelf
    3. Parametric
    4. Band reject
    5. Band pass
    6. Low pass
    7. High pass
    8. or Disabled

Right click a band handle to access a menu with these options.

  • Alt+dragging band handles adjusts the filter’s Q (resonance/fall-off slope).
  • Ctrl+click the frequency response display to toggle display of the phase offset.

I have no idea what that last one means. 😳 Can someone explain it to me?

Finally, don’t be shy of the Podium Guide.pdf (Help > Open Podium Guide). It’s bookmarked so you can navigate directly to the section of interest 8)
