How to get great sound when recording live studio sessions with an iPhone microphone?

Question

I recorded a live session in a studio using the iPhone microphone. The sound is a bit muffled, and I'd like to use EQ to clean it up. How should I do that? Also, are any other effects necessary?

That's right. When recording with a small microphone like on an iPhone, the mid-range tends to sound muffled, so it might be a good idea to cut that with an EQ and boost the highs for better clarity. Also, applying a compressor or limiter to tighten up the sound will increase the audio pressure and make it easier to listen to.
