Where to get itIncluded with Logic Pro and GarageBand. It is part of those DAWs, not a separate download.apple.com

Channel EQ is a versatile multiband EQ plugin for Logic Pro that provides eight color-coded frequency bands including highpass and lowpass filters, low and high shelving filters, and four parametric bands. It features a real-time FFT Analyzer display and graphic controls for viewing and adjusting the frequency spectrum, making it suitable for shaping individual tracks or overall mixes.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Eight color-coded frequency bands with highpass and lowpass filters
02Four flexible parametric bands with Frequency, Gain, and Q controls
03Low and high shelving filters
04Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Analyzer with real-time frequency curve visualization
05Graphic display with clickable control points for intuitive editing
06Gain-Q Coupling to automatically adjust Q when changing gain
07High Quality (HQ) oversampling mode for upper frequency range processing
08Mid-Side processing modes including Mid Only, Side Only, and stereo

Things to Try

  • 01Enable the Analyzer and play your audio signal to identify peaks and troughs, then adjust frequency bands accordingly to reduce or emphasize specific frequencies
  • 02Use Q-Coupling set to Strong to preserve perceived bandwidth when boosting or cutting gain on any band
  • 03Adjust bands 2 through 7 center frequencies to target specific unwanted frequencies while narrowing the Q parameter to affect only that frequency range
  • 04Process Mid-Side recordings by inserting separate Channel EQ instances set to Mid Only and Side Only modes, reducing low frequencies in Side mode to clean up the bottom end
