Equalization (EQ)

Equalization (EQ) is a tool used to adjust the balance of different sound frequencies in an audio recording or live sound. Think of it as a way to fine-tune the brightness, warmth, or clarity of the audio by boosting or cutting specific frequency ranges, such as bass, midrange, or treble. This helps improve the overall sound quality, reduce problematic noises, and ensure that different instruments or voices sit well together in a mix. EQ allows sound engineers to shape sound so it’s more pleasing and clear for listeners.
