[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7450893, member: 631331"] I think everyone wants to tune their EQ just once and never touch it again. Thing is you can have it perfect for the music you're listening to and some other kind of music it sounds like crap. You either have diff presets or make one thats all around the best for you. That being said eq changes affect different instruments in different ways and tends to create peaks/valleys very easily if you don't know what you are doing...therefore a lot of people that halfway know what they're doing leave it flat. IMO the only ones who don't have it flat seem to be those who are really picky and know what they are doing or its people who have garbage systems and are trying their hardest to compensate to make it sound decent. I'm just kind of curious how people go about setting it, I figured take one frequency band at a time and adjust to find what sounds best for that frequency, the issue I run into is that adjusting that to sound it's best will affect the rest of the eq and now some other band might sound worse, I end up not being able to find an effective way to set it except just playing around with it and listening to every change for hours and hours. Is that really the best/easiest way to do it? [/QUOTE]
