<p>Very new to audio stuff so sorry if i get some terms wrong in advance.</p>
<p>I'm using automation to keyframe the frequency on band 6 in the EQ as shown here</p>

<p>Even when it hits the bottom, i still dont feel its enough. Band 6 seems to have a frequency limit (automation wise) that changes depending on the starting point of the band. This image shows what i want automation to keep doing but it wont. i start it at 20k6 and it stops at 1k4 for some reason.</p>

<p>I can move the band before hand to get a lower frequency but that also effects the starting point. <strong>My goal is to get a stronger muffle effect at the end by automating the 6th band to go lower while keeping the same starting point.</strong> Please let me know if there is a better way to get this effect.</p>
