ITunes Player - Perfect Equalizer Settings

[DudeAsInCool]

The nice folks at the Download Squad have figured out the perfect settings to play your music if you have an ITunes Player. Read more HERE or simply pull up the Equalizer under your ITunes Window at the top...and set the bars just like they have them below. I think you will agree this is the richest sound you have heard out of your player.

Is this universal or genre specific?

Also, it's worth noting that a comment was left on the article by a Audio Recording Engineer which contained the following excerpt...

This same EQ could sound even better if the entire curve moved down the scale to include some boost and cut. Mathematically, you would need to move all sliders - 7db from the original EQ curve. Therefore the new numbers would be

-4 , -1 , +2 , 0 , -1 , -2 , 0 , +2 , +4

The only thing I notice is that most cheapy PC speakers need a bit of help with bass. If necessary, try moving the 64Hz fader to zero or +1 or +2.

Most PC speakers arent going to do much of anything with 32Hz, so leave it alone.

He's right about the bass. Otherwise, both of those settings are worth applying

The second setting will help to minimize distortion.

I know that my laptop works better with these settings.

I keep my bass down (-1) due to my music preference but

you can play around with it to get it to your liking.
