What does Peak Filter mean?
A type of filter that acts as a narrow bell curve, it boosts or cuts the middle/center frequencies in an audio signal.
Peak Filter is a type of filter that acts as a narrow bell curve, it boosts or cuts the middle/center frequencies in an audio signal, as opposed to high-pass or low-pass filters (not the same as amplitude peaks). Technically a peak filter doesn’t filter out any frequencies but acts as a resonator at a particular narrow band of frequencies.
Example sentence: “I used some Peak Filter on it.”
