Although, I would recommend buying at least a cheap sound pressure level meter, they should even have some in the auto section at Walmart. They aren't fantastic, but they would probably be calibrated somewhat better than just the mic on your phone. Other than that, download a tone generator and use it to create whatever sound you'd like within the constraints of your EQ. I'd suggest first aiming for flat, find the quietest band of your EQ and reduce the rest until they match. Then adjust it for your own listening preferences. That's actually a pretty good idea. Thank you. ReggieTheReckless posted... I wouldn't mess with it... I mean in my experience, eq settings just make thinhs sound worse or different than how the original artist intended them to sound (tons of post processing is already applied to that shit) I mean, I liken eq settings to something you should be using if you just recorded your own music and wanted to get the sound just right I have to respectfully disagree. I've never heard a proper stereo that was flatlined sound even decent. --- Ever since the day you left, my fate's been set unknown... How many years to walk this path alone? [...] So why'd you close your eyes... why can't I shut mine? <cite>MannerSaurus posted [p:893406016] in Does anyon...
