How do you use the grahic equaliser on windows media player to improve udio clip?

Question

Please tell me how to use it to get a better sounding audio and what the bands mean.

Answer 1

The bands represent different individual frequency levels that can be adjusted individually to fine-tune your stereo audio. They move up from low to high in set increments going from left to right. The left bands are the bass frequencies, the right being the treble. The areas in the middle, known as mid-range has great effect on vocals and guitar, and can sound "tinny" if set too high. The treble can also sound sharp and tinny if set too high. Bass pretty much sounds "muddy" if set too high, kind of losing it's punch. Notice the 3 dots under the turn on/off control. The top sets the bands to be adjusted individually ( thats the only one I ever use). the middle dot sets the bands to kinda follow each other loosely, and the bottom tightly. Those are probably a good way to get familiar with the EQ if you're a beginner. Don't be afraid to experiment with all the bands, play with each one at a time, and kinda get familiar with what sounds good, and what doesnt. Keep in mind, not all songs sound good with the same settings. For the most part, on average, the EQ will sound good set as kind of a really weak "V" shape, with the mid-range being the lowest part of the "V". Theoretically, you want to stay close to the middle, like a snake on a limb. (if that makes sense), and gradually peak upwards at the ends, normally with the right side being slightly higher than the left. But dont take my word for it, always trust your ears, cause thats what matters. Another thing you'll notice is that the better a song is recorded and/or mixed, the less you'll have to toy with the EQ. Also mp3's will seem to differ the most from each other, sometimes you can adjust them all day, and they still sound like crap. Its pretty easy to get familiar with it after a while, just have fun with it. Sorry I dont have any scientific expert advice, but I hope this helps...
