EQ can be used for correcting problem frequencies, as well as for more artistic purposes like creating distinct sonic coloration (e,g. simulating the sound of a megaphone, an old-fashioned telephone, or muffled sound coming from a distant room). Logic Pro X and Garageband have various EQs available for use: - **[Channel EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/channel-eq-use-tips-lgcef1edc27f/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - 8-band equalizer featuring an analyzer showing real time changes on the frequency spectrum. Used to shape sounds - **[Linear Phase EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/linear-phase-eq-use-tips-lgcef1edc8da/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - Similar to Channel EQ but preserves the phase of the audio signal and creates additional latency - **[Match EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/use-match-eq-lgcef1edc5c5/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - A learning EQ that analyzes the frequency spectrum of an audio signal to then be stored as a template and used on other audio - **[Single Band EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/single-band-eq-controls-lgcef1edd13d/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - Used for simple EQ work - **[Vintage Console EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/vintage-console-eq-controls-lgcp2d56e64b/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - Emulates the EQ section of a Neve 1073 console, noted for its tonal color, warmth, smooth top end, and mid-forward presence - **[Vintage Graphic EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/vintage-graphic-eq-controls-lgcp75436181/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - Emulates the Proportional Q design of the API 560 console, widening filter bandwidth at lower cut/boost levels and narrowing at higher levels - **[Vintage Tube EQ](https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/vintage-tube-eq-controls-lgcp137f13da/10.7.3/mac/11.0)** - Emulates a combination of the Pultec EQP-1A and the MEQ-5 valve equalizers ![alt text](https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T0HTW3H0V-F03M35HGX8A/screen_shot_2022-06-24_at_12.43.36_pm.png?pub_secret=0201aa8477) [Helpful EQ Video for Podcasters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjMCyLsRNig)
