Rock Preset For Mediamonkey Equalizer

Make-shift solution: I opened the EQ and set it to 'POP'. Then I used the menu to 'Make a Preset' called 'Country'. As I suspected, by default iTunes just copies the current settings (in this case Pop).

If you say Pop is similar to Country, then might as well just have it this way and my OCD is satisfied.about 90%. But if we have a golden ear/musician in these forums who would like to offer up a custom EQ for country, I'll be happy to copy it, just post a pic of the EQ set-up. BTW, even though musically pop and country practically use the same EQ settings, most people don't know that. Like me, most people would just be confused as to why there is no preset for a lot of the different types of music. Apple should expand the list even if it's musically cosmetic. Last I remember, Apple is supposed to be a company all about being user friendly.:/.

Originally posted by laudunum: (1) follow your own ears and (2) always start with a flat setting and adjust for equipment, including your own ears. ++ Rather EQing than by genre, I take a device correction or psychoacoustic approach to EQ settings, depending on what headphones or speakers I'm using, and how I'm listening to music. If I'm using my nice studio headphones or monitors, it's set flat. Maybe I'll use a mid/high-frequency reduction (EQ in a smile-shape centered ~2kHz) to make the music seem more distant if I just have something on for background listening.

Most folks are at least vaguely familiar with what an equalizer (EQ) looks like. For some of us, those rows of sliders arranged into a kind of smiley face are an icon of the ’80s – like the.

On my work desk is this pair of crappy, old AKG headphones that I figured out through experimentation that a 3dB cut at 250 Hz and slight boost at 16kHz compensate somewhat for the built-in resonances and deficiencies. I had a setting for those USB speakers that came with the G4 cube. Bass and treble boost, again compensating for what the speaker wasn't good at. I even have a setting for the new Apple in-ear headphones. A 1dB cut at 4kHz. But sometimes I get self-conscious that such a setting might be just be of imaginary benefit and only encouraging my OCD.

It is usually at this point that I turn the EQ off and leave it off for a few months. I feel like any kind of sound enhancer (including the option in iTunes prefs panel) or EQ become addictive.once you have it on for a while, the music sounds 'wrong' once it's turned off. Swami marathi tv serial. I cannot agree more strongly with previous posts discouraging the use of EQ unless absolutely necessary. Turn it off, leave it off until you're used to it clean and forget. All opinions of mastering aside (I agree on the over-compression point), the point of mastering is to optimize the music for as wide a range of playback environments as possible. If done properly, the material should sound acceptable on almost anything.
