You can use these customizable EQ settings to adjust your personal listen-
ing preference or to better suit different program material. These curves will
retain the chosen settings after the “Apply” button has been clicked (see
below); the corresponding frequency response will also be shown in the
“Play Window” graphs.
5.2.3 Apply button
Once you have defined your Custom EQ Curve, you can use this button to
apply it and listen to the effect it has on your monitoring (figure 5.18).

Loading an EQ Curve takes a bit of calculation by the ARC 2 Plug-In, so this
button provides a convenient way to avoid any waiting each time a Custom
EQ Curve is modified.
5.2.4 Flat button
Use this button to reset the EQ curve to its standard flat state (figure 5.19).
