EQ setting

If you can live with 320kbps MP3, I can burn the CD tonight.

I live with less quality in the car on the daily lol. 192 on my ipod is just so convenient.

i'm assuming that static track played all the frequencies.

Bingo. That was pink noise - basically every frequency with the same rolloff as the humar ear, so it sounds flat to us across the whole bandwidth. White noise is every frequency at the same level, but we hear it skewed to the higher freqs because our ears are more sensitive up there...

I'll upload some stuff, I'm bored, it'll give me something to do...

it would really really be appreciated if you did that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I remember Matt from ID helping me adjust my funkdafied EQing. he had a RTA and used a track off the IASCA cd that had nothing but a static noise. it was interesting. i'm assuming that static track played all the frequencies.

i agree with adjusting EQs by ear being a b1tch. but i prefer not throwing things around in my car.

Pink noise generater by chance?

EDIT: Dammit I was beaten.

I dont trust my ears for the begining part of setting an EQ. I use an RTA while playing pink noise and set everything flat.

Then I play a bunch of different music and fine tune things I like. After every change I save it as a setting on my memory. each of the 5 presets I have are different, each sound good in thier own right...

When I am finally done, I RTA it again just to see what my listening tastes are. I usually save my fav as the #1 preset and just leave it there.

EQing by ear with 30 bands per side would be a pain...when I used the 8053 non active, I just set the 16 bands by ear...now it would be much more difficult.

The TL one is $200 and you will need a mic and pre amp...

So ~$300

The WinMLS system I use is only $99

www.winmls.com

you will still need a mic and preamp.

berenger 8000 mic

$200-$300ish

Maybe less if you come across a great deal.

They are anywhere from 2-300 to $4k+

the AC RTA is $1600 IIRC //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Behringer makes a 61-band EQ/RTA for $299.99, all you'd need is a $50 omnidirectional mic and you're good. Or go the WinMLS route, that has some more neat features that you may or may not use in the future...

The non LT RTAs are usually going to be more. IIRC the one Jim pointed out is a nice one that doesnt require a LT.

sell your desktop and get a basic laptop Then you can get a TL later too lol.

Laptops FTMFW.

Or just take your desktop out to the garage for setting then bring it back in when done.
