![]() ![]() Instead, slide them down from the center, and you're cutting the volume instead. ![]() ![]() You can't really add frequencies that aren't there already - you're just adding noise in that freqeuncy and that will "fill up" the available frequencies on your speaker, causing that "drowned out" effect I was talking about. Sliding any of the EQ bar up, will increase or boost the volume of the frequency the bar represents. It'll sound pretty flat and boring unless your speakers are very "flavoured" or "colored" already. I'm into heavy metal but for this I'd probably go with some average pop music, because metal is so noisy it gets hard to pick out the details.Ģ) Set you EQ to FLAT - zero all accross the board. So don't over-EQ your sound or it'll ruin it.ġ) Start by playing a well-produced piece of modern music - it'll most likely be well mixed and employ a wide range of frequencies. Your speaker has a limit to how many frequencies it can play at once before it starts to lose detail - meaning one sound will drown out in order to make room for another. The range of frequencis start at "deep" or "low" frequencies at the left (bass) passing through the Midrange (midtones) in the center, to the (treble) at the right. Actually they go beyond that - most people cannot hear the far left and right frequencies. The EQ represents the range frequencies in sound that the human ear can hear. The extreme options are there to cut noise from bad recordings or emphasize a detail you can't hear very well. In my experience you should not boost or cut more than 6 db at the most - and that's a lot! I stay at around 0-4dB. The iTunes EQ has a set of horizontal lines representing 3dB (volume steps) each. Which to be honest, is a bit much to expect form a typical music consumer. The idea is to tweak the overall sound from your music player (iTunes) to compensate for the strengths and weaknesses of your speakers. When you play a recorded song, the song has usually been put through an extensive process of mixing, EQ and mastering before you got it, in order to get the best balance of all frequencies, to ensure the best sound accross a wide range of speakers and headphones, and to ensure the most important details and instruments are audible when played together.Īll speakers are different, and that's where the idea of an EQ for the listener is introduced. Look for example at how the other iTunes presets are made, the don't go that far from the horizontal middle, and for good reason. Take that setting and reduce the distance between the sliders and you're getting there. The general setting is "OK" but the values are extremely out of range. I'm a bit of an audio geek, so I can tell you that YES whatever sounds right is what you want, but NO those settings are not very good. ![]()
