What do the EQ symbols mean?

EQ, or equalization, is the act of adjusting low, middle, and high-end frequencies to improve the sound of an audio recording. To use the EQ in Garageband: 1) Select the Channel EQ plug-in in the Smart Controls. 2) Choose a preset from the drop-down menu like “Acoustic Guitar,” or “Natural Vocal.”

What are the four types of EQ?

However, the most common types of EQ used in music production are parametric, semi-parametric, dynamic, graphic, and shelving.

What is Q value EQ?

The Q parameter stands for quality, and controls the shape of the EQ curve. High Q values use steeper curves, which affect a smaller range and allow you to pinpoint specific frequencies. Low Q values affect a wider range of frequencies and tend to sound more gentle when used subtly.

What is EQ high and low?

EQ frequency controls use these numbers to describe the tonal range of the audio spectrum and allow us to find specific frequencies and make adjustments to them. Low frequencies like 40 Hz and 100 Hz describe lower tones. High frequencies like 5 kHz and 10 kHs describe higher tones.
