How to EQ a Song in "GarageBand"
GarageBand comes with each installation of Mac OS X and is a program that allows you to create and mix recordings. Designed to handle music, GarageBand has several functions that manipulate sound, including a graphic equalizer, or EQ, which has independent controls for four frequency bands: "Bass," "Low Mid," "High Mid," and "Treble." Accessing the EQ through the GarageBand menu allows you to set each band manually or turn on one of several presets designed for different types of songs.
