# EQ

EQ is a soft effect that allows you to perform precise manipulation of the audio frequency content using the EQ Editor, which is based on a graphical display of EQ settings. For example, you can improve noisy audio tracks or enhance vocal tracks.

You can use any of six available filter or nodes: one Low node, four Mid nodes, and one High node. The Low node can be set to use either a Low Shelf filter or a Low Cut filter. The four Mid nodes can each be set to either a Mid Notch filter or a Mid Presence filter. The High node can use a High Shelf filter or a High Cut Filter.

These filters can have a dramatic effect on the audio so they should be used sparingly.

To apply EQ effects on a segment:

1. From the Record T/L, select the audio segment that you want to adjust.
2. From the Audio Soft-Effects menu, enable EQ.
3. Click E.

   The EQ Editor appears.
