Let’s understand the different types of operation EQ plug-ins can carry out by looking at their different modes. In this chapter, I’ll show you the difference between Low Cuts, Low Shelves, Parametic bell-curve EQs, High Shelf and High Cut modes, as well as exploring their common controls - Frequency, Bandwidth (Q) and the dial to choose cut or boost.

I’ll introduce you to the FabFilter Pro-Q 3, which is a plug-in which will feature heavily through the course, to begin to understand how to zero in on a specific frequency area, as well as explaining ‘surgical’ and ‘musical’ approaches to EQing.
