Compensates for any change in overall level. Either set a specific amount, or select Automatic Makeup

Gain to ensure that original and processed amplitude peaks are equal.
EQ: Graphic
The EQ: Graphic effect boosts or cuts specific frequency bands and provides a visual representation of the resulting
EQ curve. Unlike the parametric equalizer, the graphic equalizer uses preset frequency bands for quick and easy
equalization.
Use the graphic equalizer to quickly enhance voice-overs and music tracks, reproduce the muffled sound of telephone
audio, and more.

EQ: Parametric
The EQ: Parametric effect provides maximum control over tonal equalization. Unlike the graphic equalizer, which
provides a fixed number of frequencies and Q bandwidths, the parametric equalizer gives you total control over
frequency, Q, and gain settings. For example, you can simultaneously reduce a small range of frequencies centered
around 1000 Hz, boost a broad low-frequency shelf starting around 80 Hz, and insert a 60-Hz notch filter.
Use the standard version of this effect to quickly apply preset equalization curves. Use the advanced version to
precisely adjust such curves.
