Each layer with audio can have an EQ in the Audio section of the Properties panel. It has five bands: High-Pass, Low Shelf, Peak, High Shelf and Low-Pass. The curve is drawn by the same code that filters the preview and the render, so what you see is what you hear.
How to use it
- Select a layer with audio and open the Audio section in Properties.
- Click Add EQ. It starts flat.
- Drag a band's knot on the curve: left and right moves its frequency, up and down sets gain (shelves and peak) or Q (high- and low-pass). Or type values in the band rows.

Each scrub is one undo step.
Tips
- The EQ runs before the Compressor.
