Boosting this range can result in a horn-like quality, important for vocal clarity. Cutting can remove cardboard-like quality and reduce listener fatigue.

Boosts or cuts all frequencies above or below a chosen frequency. High shelf is often used to add brightness, and low shelf to add warmth or reduce boominess.

Boosting enhances presence and clarity, especially for vocals and snare drums. Useful for bringing a sound forward in the mix.

Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through, removing low-end rumble and freeing up headroom. Commonly used on vocals and high-pitched instruments.

Allows frequencies below the set point to pass through. Softens overall harshness and can create a vintage or ambient effect by removing high frequencies.

Allows a specific range of frequencies to pass while cutting the frequencies below and above. Used for sound design and frequency isolation.

Boosting adds airiness and opens up the high end. Too much can introduce sibilance or hiss.

Reducing the level of a certain frequency range to clean up the sound or to make space for other instruments in the mix.

Boosting can increase the sense of power for low-end elements like kick drums and bass synths. Too much boost might make the mix sound boomy.

Boosting increases the sense of presence and definition; helps in speech intelligibility. Cutting can prevent a sound from becoming too piercing or harsh.

Refers to the width of the EQ band being affected. A higher Q (narrower band) affects a smaller range of frequencies, while a lower Q (wider band) affects a larger range.

Increasing the level of a certain frequency range to enhance particular characteristics of a sound or instrument.
