Equalizing is the art of boosting and balancing the frequency components in a mix. The frequency spectrum ranges from low to high, and adherence to the spectrum aids in the production of a well-blended mix. The equalizer is the main tool used to correct signals. It can be used to make sounds pop where necessary, providing a dramatic factor and can be witnessed in the treble/bass. The common types of audio equalizations are Shelving EQ, Bell EQ, Graphic EQ and Parametric EQ.
Compression
Compression – Compression is the process of correcting the dynamic range. A compressor sets specific limits on frequency, to produce an overally consistent sound. A good balance for compression is essential in audio production.
Reverberation
