Amplitude is the term we use when were talking about level. The vertical axis that you see on the right side of the spectrum shows the level or amplitude of a signal. A lower amplitude will be heard is quieter than a higher amplitude.
When were using an EQ to add amplitude and a certain frequency area, that's generally referred to as a boost. When we remove amplitude we call that a cut. You'll be practicing boots and cuts at different frequency points when you use the EQ practice tool.
The unit we use to describe amplitude is called the decibel or dB. Take a look at the meter on the right. You see a signal that sitting at -5 dBFS. Now I'm going to open up a fader like what you see in your DAW, and I'm going to turn the signal up, by 2 dB on the fader. If we look back at the meter, we now have a level of -3 dBFS. Let's go back to the fader. Now I will bring the signals down 3 dB, and you'll see tha
