Many people don't realise that we encounter and use basic forms of EQ almost every day. However, for beginners and those that are new to the concept of EQ, it can be difficult to know where to start.
For audio professionals, equalisation (known in the trade as 'EQ') is a standard part of the daily workflow when recording and mixing sound.
