Find the part that distracts you
Low-frequency energy may sound rumbly or heavy. Excessive upper frequencies can sound sharp. Listen to the whole phrase before deciding which range needs attention.
Make a small adjustment
- Select the passage or full file you want to process.
- Open Effects → Graphic EQ or Graphic EQ (20 bands).
- Adjust a few relevant bands and preview. Compare at a similar overall volume.
- Apply the change when the recording sounds clearer without losing its natural character.
EQ and noise reduction do different work
EQ affects wanted sound in the same frequency range as the unwanted sound. For a noisy voice or steady hum, try a targeted cleanup tool before making a large tonal cut.
Check on another listening device
A change made on bass-heavy headphones can sound thin elsewhere. Listen on another available speaker or headset before committing to a strong adjustment.
