HI Rod!!
EQ adjusts the tone on a sound. Think of it this way, on your stereo, you have
controls for
adjusting the bass, midrange and treble. That's what you can do with EQ. You
can use it to filter
out specific frequencies for example, if you were recording a Fender Rhodes
sound, there may be
quite a lot of midrange frequencies in that sound. So, you could use the EQ to
filter out some of
them which would help the sound of the Fender Rhodes cut through in the mix.
Compression is used to boost the overall level of a sound. For example, when
some vocalists sing,
there can be quite a change in the volume level coming on to the track. Or, if
the singer is
singing a song that has quite a large vocal range. Some of the sound going
down on to the track
could be at say, minus 3 or for DB where as other parts of the sound could be
at minus 0.2 DB. You
could then add a compressor which would bring up the volume of the notes at
minus 3 or 4 DB and
compress or push down the volume of the hier notes at minus 0.2 DB thus,
levelling out the sound on
the vocal track.
