"Note that EQ does not tend to make extreme changes in signal levels;<br />
instead, it can be used to reduce or increase the prominence of<br />
certain frequencies in the signal, which in turn reduces or increases<br />
the audible prominence of certain portions of a track or mix. If you<br />
get a chance to experiment, listen to what happens when you boost the<br />
5 KHz range in an evenly-mixed guitar track; the guitar should become<br />
more prominent in the mix without having significantly changed it's<br />
signal level."<br />
Different types of EQ:<br />
(1) Parametric EQ (also "sweepable EQ")<br />
A form of EQ which affects broad sections, or bands, of frequencies in<br />
an audio signal. May be found as either two controls (Low and High),<br />
three controls (Low, Mid, and High), or four controls (Low, Mid, Mid<br />
Freq, and High). They tend to affect frequencies in the following<br />
ways:<br />
Low: Boosts or cuts frequencies in the low (bass) half of the audible<br />
frequency spectrum (20 Hz - 1 KHz). A "shelving" control, it tends to<br />
make more extreme changes at very low frequencies (20 Hz) and less<br />
extreme changes at higher frequencies (1 KHz).<br />
