Explore The EQ
Find it.
Shape it.
Move a band directly on the curve, listen to the frequencies you want to adjust and fine-tune the result with frequency, gain and Q controls.
Hands-on curve editing
Drag a band to shape its frequency and gain. Adjust its width with the Q handles, or enter exact values in the controls.
Listen with band solo
Isolate the selected band to hear the area you are working on, then return to the full mix to judge the change.
Shape the edges
Use low and high cuts with 12, 24, 36 or 48 dB/oct slopes to control the extremes of your sound.
