[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 5114877, member: 591579"] Google something like 'what sounds play in certain frequency ranges.' If you look, you should be able to find a chart showing this info. Example: Where the vocals are, bass guitar, piano, etc... The better ones break it up into things like where in the range the 'attack' of the guitar or whatever other instrument is most apparant and where in the range you hear the 'decay.' I've also seen some guides discussing where to cut to clean up specific frequency response problems such as boomy bass, screechy vocals, etc... Print the stuff up, sit in the car. Listen to your music at a decent volume. Try to pick out what you're not hearing enough of or what you're hearing too much of. If there's too much of it, find the right frequency band and cut. If there's not enough, find the frequency that's obscuring what you what to hear. Cut that a tiny bit while at the same time boosting your target freq a little bit. Cutting overpowering frequencies is better than boosting weaker ones, sometimes a small cut and a small boost in the right place will help. Take it an audio shop, tell them what you listen to, and what you want to hear and let them do it if you want but it should be fun to play with it and learn what affects what. [/QUOTE]
