Use the Channel EQ in Logic Pro for Mac
The Channel EQ is an audio effect, like any other. In most mixing situations, it’s used as the first effect on a channel strip, allowing you to shape the sound of individual channel strip signals, or for tone-shaping on an overall project mix, before applying other effects. The graphic controls make it easy to view and change the audio signal in real time.
To learn more about the Channel EQ, see Channel EQ overview.
