Use the Channel EQ

The Channel EQ is an audio effect, like any other. In most mixing situations, it’s used as the first effect on a channel strip, allowing you to shape the sound of individual channel strip signals, or for tone-shaping on an overall project mix, before applying other effects. The graphic controls make it easy to view and change the audio signal in real time.
