This 8 bands can be controlled with 3 parameters:

- frequency -  let as choose the frequency we want to adjust
- volume/gain db  -  let us adjust the amplitude of the frequency
- Q ( a low Q setting as  0.75 a large range of frequencies is affected, a high Q setting – such as 21.0 results in a narrow bandwidth and a smaller range of
  frequencies affected)
