Thanks for clarifying, Frank.
As far as the filters or EQ, there are usually three different types of EQs in a plug-in. They are Hi Pass/Lo Pass, Shelf, and Parametric. A Hi-Pass filter starts to cut everything below the selected frequency. The Lo Pass does the same except it cuts everything above the selected frequency. Hi-Pass/Lo-Pass are also called Lo-cut/Hi-Cut respectively. These are useful in post for removing rumble (Hi-Pass) or a really high buzz (Lo-pass). Shelf EQs can boost or dip the Hi or Low frequencies. These are mostly useful as a sound shaping device during the mix. The parametric EQ is used for boosting or dipping frequencies in any range.
Of course there are a ton of different types and uses for EQ, but hopefully that helps a tiny bit.
