What is an Audio Equalizer? Answer: If if you feel like your audio hardware (headphones, speaker) does not have enough Bass (low frequency) punch, or vice versa, you can adjust that using eqMac. I am using a Mac Pro with the latest OS-X, Java and REW (v5.0), and I have the AVID OMNI-HD interface attached to the internal PCI-e card (AVID HD-X). Of course, I am running Pro Tools HD(-X) without any problems at all. With this workaround, REW will quit sometimes if I change the input or output source. All of the UA emulations are worthy of mention: the Cambridge EQ, Manley Massive Passive and Neve 1073 Classic Console EQ emulations are all fantastic. Available for Mac and PC users of a UAD-2 DSP Accelerator PCIe card (installed inside a PC), UAD-2 Satellite DSP Accelerator (standalone hardware units), or one of Apollo series of audio interfaces. I have been using my Macbook Pro for playing EQ since starting on Agnarr again. I have used PlayOnMac for setting up wine etc. For me, to install and launch EQ. However the june patch (for the xp weekend) ruined it for me, I was however able to get around it using the 'eqgame.exe' with argument 'patchme' since the 'Launcher.exe' was. Mac EverQuest is segregated on Macintosh-specific servers, however — a decision that disappointed many Mac users and experienced EQ players who had hoped to interact with their Windows-using.

If you're audio-savvy, you might be disappointed by the lack of audio controls (like a Mac EQ) native to macOS. Apart from the iTunes graphic equalizer, you've got few options for built-in control. And while you might be able to edit audio on a Mac easily, applying those same effects to your system's audio isn't possible without the use of a third-party app.

Topaz remask plugin. Topaz Studio is not intended for that.

Audio Hijack Pro is that app, allowing you to add a Mac EQ and other audio effects. It's the one-stop shop for adjusting your Mac's audio and adding an EQ to your Mac. It can be as simple as 'make it louder' to as complicated as multi-band compression over several channels and outputs.

Situation 1: This One Goes to 11

Back in the day, Netflix was extremely quiet on my computer. Like, 'Everyone shut up so I can hear the explosions.' Audio Hijack can fix that for us.

Good flight simulators for mac. We'll start by creating a new session in Audio Hijack Pro. A 'session' is just a set of affects applied to a particular input and given to a particular output.

We'll select the 'Increase Volume' session template.

This opens a new window showing us the meat of our preset. By default, it will increase the system volume by 200%.

With properly-leveled audio, this could very well damage your speakers, but it won't do anything until we engage the effect with the circulate button in the lower-left.

We can use this simple preset as a starting point for reviewing Audio Hijack's core concepts. The session reads from left to right, starting with the input.

In this case, our input block is 'System Audio,' meaning any sound the computer makes.

Our next block is an effect. In this case, it's called 'Volume,' and, by default, it provides a slider from 0 to 200 that allows us to adjust the system volume. If you need even more, you can click 3x or 4x to set the max level to 300 or 400, but be careful not to blow out your speakers.

Finally, we see that the final block is Output Device. In this case, it's the internal speakers of my laptop.

These three parts are essential to any Audio Hijack Session: input, effect(s), and output.

Situation 2: Gratuitous Sliders

As great as Spotify is, the lack of a built-in Mac EQ is a pretty glaring oversight. And all audio nerds love EQs, so let's add one.

First, we'll open the Sweeten preset in Audio Hijack's welcome screen.

This creates a basic set of effects, including an EQ and Audio Hijack's own Denoise filter.

On the left we see that our input is, again, System Audio. I just want this to affect Spotify, so that's a little broad. I'm going to narrow down the scope to one app by dragging in an Application block from the right-hand library pane.

I'll also delete the now-disconnected System Audio block by right clicking on it and choosing 'Delete This Block.'

Now, I'll select the application I want to use by clicking on the Application block and choosing an application.

Let's click on the EQ and and slide some sliders, as our creator intended.

Also, let's turn off the Denoise feature. I'll click on it and tick 'on' to 'off.' The block will turn grey to indicate that it's disabled.

For one last trick, let's set up a recording. Under Outputs in the library pane, you'll find the Recorder block. Drag that over into our lineup so that it comes after Denoise but parallel to our output device. This way, Recorder will record the audio after our last effect, rather than after our output.

To set up the Recorder block's behavior, click on it to reveal a massive pane of options.

To get rolling, I'll click the record button in the lower left corner of the window.

This will also engage the effects chain. Be aware that, until Spotify is playing audio, nothing will happen. Once Spotify is producing a signal, you'll see all the connections turn orange and a rudimentary graphic EQ will show up on the bottom.

Situation 3: Mumble Shouting

Some podcasts are recorded very well. And some feature mumbled banter interrupted by excited shouting. I listen to both, but I only tolerate the second. With Audio Hijack, we can fix some of the problems that the creators either couldn't or didn't fix before releasing the most recent episode.

For our most advanced situation, let's start with a blank session.

I'll start by adding an Application block and setting the source to iTunes.

Next, let's drag in an EQ block and a Denoise block. I'll actually use Denoise this time to eliminate, you guessed it, annoying noise.

Let's drop in a more advanced effect. Scroll down in the right-hand library pane until you reach Audio Unit Effects. Click to expand.

These are the bare-metal kind of effects you might find in Logic or Pro Tools. Expand that menu and continue to scroll until you see AUDynamicsProcessor. Drag that effect into your mix.

AUDynamicsProcessor is a compressor, which makes loud noises quieter. This has the effect of making loud and quiet sounds closer to each other, which is helpful for fixing dialog that suddenly becomes to quiet or too loud. Click on the block to make adjustments.

With a compressor, you'll need an audio meter to make sure you're mixing to a sensible level. I'll throw in some in-app software meters.

Now I'll route my output to my internal speakers. The effects would be more noticeable on larger speakers with a broader frequency response, but they'll help clean things up on the internal speakers too.

To engage the effect, I'll click the not-record button in the lower-left.

Here's the full effect, in its finally form.

Question: Why is eqMac asking for Admin Password during the first launch? Answer:

The way eqMac works it needs to install an Audio Driver, to do that it needs your system password.
The app never sees your password as it uses secure Apple API to perform the install.

Question: Why is eqMac asking for permission to access my microphone? Answer:

macOS does not have direct way to access the System Audio stream, so we use the eqMac Audio driver to divert the system audio to the drivers input stream.
Then eqMac captures that input audio stream, processses it and sends it directly to the output device.

Question: Sometimes there are sound issues using eqMac? Answer:

Sometimes there are synching issues, try to switch away from eqMac audio device to your preferred output device and eqMac should restart the audio pipeline.
Alternatively, you can try to restart eqMac, that should help as well
