Q fields: Sets the Q or bandwidth of each band—the range of frequencies around the
center frequency that are altered. At low Q factor values, the EQ covers a wider frequency
range. At high Q values, the effect of the EQ band is limited to a narrow frequency
range. The Q value can significantly influence how audible your changes are—if you’re
working with a narrow frequency band, you’ll generally need to cut or boost more
drastically to notice the difference.
Note: For bands 1 and 5, this changes the slope of the filter.
Band On/Off buttons: Enables/disables the corresponding band.
Master Gain slider and field: Sets the overall output level of the signal. Use it after
boosting or cutting individual frequency bands.

You can find these effects by opening the plug-in menu and choosing EQ > Single Band.
Low Cut and High Cut Filter
The Low Cut Filter attenuates the frequency range that falls below the selected frequency.
The High Cut Filter attenuates the frequency range above the selected frequency. Use
the Frequency slider and field to set the cutoff frequency.
High Pass and Low Pass Filter
The High Pass Filter affects the frequency range below the set frequency. Higher
frequencies pass through the filter. You can use the High Pass Filter to eliminate the bass
below a selectable frequency.
