EQ

Descript's EQ is a parametric equalizer. It allows you to visualize and adjust the frequency ranges of your audio. It gives you precision EQ capabilities that can help your audio tracks fit better together sonically, change their tonal quality, or remove any problematic frequencies from a recording. The effect comes with several presets to choose from, so you can try out different settings to get the desired result you're looking for. You can apply the effect from the Audio Effects section of the Layer panel.

Using the effect

Our EQ offers flexibility and customization for adjusting your audio's frequency balance. The effect is a 5-band parametric EQ. A band is the range of frequency you can adjust in the EQ.
