ROMBUSTERS Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 fool around with the EQ a bit. when you first get it, its set to 'normal' which equals ass, so pick a different one or make your own custom one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 You ought to try different headphones too, the stock ones aren't all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackBone Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 yeah, try sony mdr-v300 ---- best bass sound ive ever encountered in headphones so far. and the equalizer too ONE QUESTION THOUGH TO U GUYS: - can u post a pic of ur best equalizer setup? coz i`m strugglin with mine and i`m using jazz eq, and i`m not pleased with it. Anybody has suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 You just have to experiment - Start with all the sliders set flat, so that the EQ is not affecting your sound. Then make minor adjustments to the appropriate frequencies that are missing or are too strong. For example, if your vocals are not coming through clearly, boost some of the middle frequencies a little. Or maybe the vocals aren't clear because the highs are too piercing. In this case, attenuate some of the higher frequency bands a little. And instead of boosting the low frequencies all the way up (and we've all been tempted), try bringing them up just a little bit, while lowering the mids and highs a touch — you'll get more effective gain out of your system that way (and you won't fry your 'phones). The great thing about having an equalizer is that you can change the sound of your music quickly and easily to match your mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeroxide Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 does the subraction rule still apply? i mean, "adding" to a frequency used to cause noise back in the old days... does it apply to today? me personally, i don't use the equaliser. rather tweak the files as waves on the hdd and then put it on md with the settings i like.

Damage Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Using the default EQ settings, try either UNIQUE, or HEAVY, as they add more to bass than the other two settings. Other than that, just fiddle around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
