EQ in iTunes??

[Spud2388 10+ year member]

Ok, I've tried everyhting I can do, but my tweeters in my car are still a little harsh. I and using a cda-9857 and using the ipod to hold all my songs. Is there a way to lower the 16k+hz a little on the ipod and have it effect the sound playing through the HU? What about in iTunes? Can I adjust the EQ in it and then upload my ipod, or will it return all the songs back to the origional?

No, you cant change it in itunes and expect it to change when loaded on your ipod.

IIRC, the ipods only have a preset EQ with changes like rock, pop, jazz...

Try the treble reducer setting.

i did the trebel reducer thing, but it effects the notes alot lower than what i need and makes it sound underpowered.

Cant you adjust the HU's EQ?

That's one thing I hate, what's the point of presets. Why can't I have a 100 band eq on my ipod that can go down to 20hz and all the way up to 20kHz. Windows media player and itunes lack a good eq. imo.

exactly i have a h510 (h710 little brother if you will) and it is only a 4 band, so either the 16k range or the 20k range can be adjusted, not all of the frequencies between. I guess ill have to play around somemore.

i guess i need a way to adjust all of my songs before i put them on my ipod, so they will have a toned down high end.

Why can't you just fix it on your head unit?

My Creative Zen has a 5 band, but I just leave it flat and use my HU EQ. Oddly enough, I leave that flat as well, I think my stuff blends pretty well too =/

Because 99% of the people who use it won't need/want a 100band EQ, it would serve no purpose to them at all.

You should be leaving the EQ flat if you are running it through something else that has an equalizer. I know my JVC has like 8 bands of EQ, and that is more than enough for me.

i would adjust the eq in my HU, if I had one. ****it Alpine!
