Audio equalizers selectively boost targeted frequencies

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Fixing a bad recording is basically just highly precise acoustic surgery. Equalizers split the entire audio spectrum into distinct frequency bands, allowing isolated manipulation. If a vocal track is overwhelmingly muddy, an equalizer allows you to aggressively turn down the lowest rumbling frequencies while exclusively boosting the sharp, crisp highs, completely reshaping the core sound.
