EQUALIZATION
Equalization is the process of boosting or lowering certain frequencies, or groups of frequencies in a sound. Equalization can have a dramatic effect. However, EQ can only boost or lower what's already there. There are several different types of EQ that you can use to help equalize the sound in your music.
HIGH PASS: Lets the high frequencies through and blocks the low frequencies.
LOW PASS: Lets the low frequencies through and defeats the highs.
HIGH SELF: Controls a specific frequency and all frequencies above it (similar to your stereo's bass and treble nob)
LOW SELF: Affects a certain frequency and all the others below it.
PARAMETRIC: Lets you boost or cut specific frequency (to boost just one little part of a sound). This is also called peak filter.
NOTCH: The opposite of a peak filter: this lets you remove a specific frequency.
