mvood: Do You Use Eq Settings?

mvood 08.29.11	I just use the default but would be interesting to know if anyone changes it when they play certain genres? or do you have a certain one that you keep it at?
djunior 08.29.11	I do, but I dont know anything about it really. I just change the settings until I like it.
Knave 08.29.11	i typically don't. I feel like it's the artist's responsibility to Equalize the music so that it sounds the best it can and if I equalize it myself i'm taking away from it somewhat
Ovrot 08.29.11	bass boost bass is always under-utilized in music except in primus
Manic_ 08.29.11	I do when playing certain genres. Mainly with electronic, classical/piano & hardcore/metal. also 3, 4 & 5 rule.
Spec 08.29.11	R&B
mvood 08.29.11	@Knave that's exactly why I don't use it because I feel as though I'm listening to it in the wrong way
LumpSum 08.29.11	i use bass boost
Deviant. 08.30.11	Yeah, I do. If I'm putting an album on itunes I'll just set it then so when I play it on my iPod it automatically switches to that eq
North0House2 08.30.11	I do.
illmitch 08.30.11	no, i'm not gay
whywontyoudie 08.30.11	I use the jazz setting in my car, but i don't use it on my ipod or anything.
FromDaHood 08.30.11	I do not
lechium3 08.30.11	setting the eq can make a big difference if you are listing through quality headphones or speakers.
TheBloodTypo 08.30.11	Hell naw.
Proworks31 08.30.11	I do.
Trebor. 08.30.11	Bass boost
Deviant. 08.30.11	R&B will give you better bass than that^
Carnifex 08.30.11	Usually the rock preset, I used to use bass boost but it drowns out the guitars and just makes everything muddy.
Tyler. 08.30.11	yeah pretty much what carnifex said so i just keep it off
tkxxx7 08.30.11	acoustic is easily the best as far as ipods/itunes
Kimm 08.30.11	Always bass boost except when I listen to Lengsel, and then I like more treble don't know why. For the most part that's it.
Kimm 08.30.11	I do sometimes change the setting between "club", "pop" and "rock". Not a fan of the jazz setting or vocal.
Carnifex 08.30.11	I probably would just use flat if I didn't have a subwoofer.
HaydenDyson 08.30.11	im always afraid i will forget that it is on and listen to music badly for many years
tkxxx7 08.30.11	the rock setting sucks so bad for most stuff
Waior 08.30.11	somebody changed all my songs into the rock eq and made the volume +100 everything sounds like garbled shit
Kimm 08.30.11	I don't even know how to change the settings on an iPod...you can do that? I just do it int car and leave my iPod as is.
tkxxx7 08.30.11	Settings > playback > EQ
FatChickIrl 08.30.11	use classical its the shit
BigShark 08.30.11	R&B is great for the ipod.
foreverendeared 08.30.11	Yes, it makes a tremendous difference.
foreverendeared 08.30.11	and I use R&B on the ipod as well. It's the best pre-setting
clercqie 08.30.11	Hell no, thing's can do more bad than good, IMO
BigShark 08.30.11	R&B should be the bass booster EQ, imo.
Manic_ 08.30.11	R&B should be the bass booster EQ, [2]
SCREAMorphine 08.30.11	I hate EQ unless it's a really poorly produced track, good head phones/speakers are the key. Most producers spend half the time getting the pefect EQ settings for each track, you don't need to change the EQ just buy good head phones.
mvood 08.30.11	Wow I just tried R&B setting on some under produced albums and it really does make it sound 100x better
PedalToTheMetal 08.30.11	classical is the best
Ovrot 08.30.11	oh fuck r&b make the rhythm section come alive
BigShark 08.30.11	Yeah, classical sounds similar to R&B with slightly less bass. They're both good.
Ovrot 08.30.11	more bass = Good
BigShark 08.30.11	No shit.
Ovrot 08.30.11	well someone has sand in their vagina
nnnope 08.30.11	lol yeah, just bass boost.
Proworks31 08.30.11	Yeah, R&B is good. I find ahh, I think its electronic to be similar? Shame you can't add custom presets from iTunes, that would be sick as all fuck.
