What is EQ?

EQ stands for Equalisation. It's the tool that lets you turn parts of a sound up or down based on their pitch — bass, mids, or treble.

  • Every sound is a mix of low, mid and high frequencies. EQ lets you reshape that mix.
  • It's used on almost every track in a mix — vocals, drums, bass, synths.
  • Boost = make a frequency louder. Cut = make it quieter. Both are valid moves.
  • Use it to remove muddy lows, harsh mids, or to brighten a dull sound.
  • Try the curve — drag the dot to boost or cut a frequency and see the response.

Think of EQ like the bass / mid / treble knobs on a stereo — just with way more control.
