So, I'm gonna open up the EQ by choosing Effect + Equalization. You can think of equalization as the scalpel of the sound world its a staple of the audio engineers toolbox for good reason as nothing else is so readily. Simply increasing it's volume isn't going to increase the snap of the drum, just it's amplitude. (drum beat) So, the snare drum sounds okay, but it doesn't have a lot of punch. I've opened up the file called snare drum.wav and let's take a listen to it. So, let's take a look at a couple of examples of ways you can use an EQ. EQ effects are often also referred to as filters, because they filter specific frequencies relative to the rest of the signal. You can boost the low levels to get more bass, or cut the high end back if your recording sounds too trebely. EQs allow you to get fine grain control over a very specific range of frequencies. Equalizers, or EQs, allow you to filter your audio to emphasize or de-emphasize various frequencies across your recording. It allows you to increase the volume of some frequencies and reduce others. The current value of the slider can be seen by hovering over it with the mouse.- Probably one of the most useful tools in your aresenal for improving the sound of your recordings is the equalization effect. Equalization is a way of manipulating sounds by Frequency. This can make setting the value you want easier. The sliders can also be made taller by resizing the dialog.

Holding down Shift then either dragging the slider handle or using the arrow keys to increment by 0.1 dB.

Using the arrow keys on the keyboard to increment by 1 dB.Clicking above or below the slider to jump to a nearby whole dB value.Clicking above or below the slider to increment it up or down by a fixed value in whole dB.You can get to an exact slider value but the method depends to some extent on your operating system. Click and drag the slider up or down to increase or decrease the volume by a maximum of 20 dB.

Select the range of frequencies you wish to. Each slider adjusts the gain of a specific range of frequencies, the gain being maximized at (centered on) the frequency stated on the slider. To apply a Parametric EQ to a low frequency selection in Audacity, open the track you wish to edit in the program. Frequency Sliders: the equalization curve is drawn by manipulating a set of sliders.
