An equalizer, in its broad description, allows you to boost or cut the volume of specified frequencies. During the mix, equalization can be effectively used in different ways to correct problems that were created during the recording session or from incompatibility among instruments. Equalization can also be used in a creative way in order to produce original effects.
No matter which way you are going to use an equalizer, there are few notions and concepts that you should know before beginning an equalization session. First, equalizers are generally used as inserts on the channel and not as auxiliary sends. Next, you have to be familiar with the most used types of equalizers in a digital audio workstation setting. Among the several types of equalizers available nowadays there are five main categories that have proven to be the most useful in a mixing situation: peak, high shelf, low shelf, high pass and low pass.
