ganancia/corte
Explanation:
Boost/Cut - Also called gain, this determines how much of the selected frequencies should be present. A boost means that those frequencies will be louder after being equalized, whereas a cut will soften them. The amount of boost/cut or gain is measured decibels, such as +3 dB or -6 dB. A boost or gain of +10dB generally amounts to the sound being twice as loud after equalization
