EQ cannot adjust certain freq

[Hua Xu]

Hi all,

I'm new to cakewalk and DAW in general...

I have a  simple two track recording, and was trying to adjust EQ using the pro-channel on the master channel. 

However,   there are two frequency parts  (~8k and ~16k) that appear locked at 0 no matter how I adjust. All other frequencies will move accordingly, but these two always at 0. Same situation even when I apply pre-set EQ...

I wonder if something interferring the EQ, but I turned off all add-in and only have the pro-channel on the master channel. 

 What could be causing the problem?

I don't know.

It looks like a notch at roughly 12kHz. Shouldn't be there. Take the notch away and it as it should be.

What version is this? Perhaps update to the latest.

Using identical settings in PC EQ as you show in your screenshot, I get very different results:

So, something isn't right. What version, and upgrade to the latest if possible, and retry in a new empty project. After a reboot.

@Hua Xu Is the Quad Curve enabled, looking at the line colour it looks like it is turned OFF

@Wookiee It is off, but that makes no difference to the adjustments. It just has that weird notch. ?

I agree, I did try to replicate but I could not I wonder how he achieved it.

thank you all.

I started over with a new project and it is fine now.

Might be some system glitch with the old project. No way I could get rid of the notchs that are non-existance... 

thanks anyway
