EQ settings, or equalization settings, are adjustments made to the frequency response of audio signals. They allow users to enhance or reduce specific frequency ranges, such as bass, midrange, and treble, to achieve a desired sound quality. This is commonly used in music production, live sound, and broadcasting to tailor audio to different environments or preferences. In digital audio workstations (DAWs) and mixing consoles, EQ settings can be applied using various types of filters, such as low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters. By manipulating these settings, audio engineers can create a balanced mix, ensuring that each instrument or vocal stands out clearly in the overall sound.
