Equalization, or EQ, is the process of changing the frequency envelope of a sound and by using a signal generator and spectrum analyzer, Jeff shows how EQs work on both generated sound and music. Jeff follows a recorded song through production to illustrate how and when to best use EQs to modify the sound of your music.
