So… Is there no way I can get a decent club/dancy bass sound on the WMP EQ? Thanks.

I find that boosting anything much past +3 on more than a couple of frequencies causes a DolbyC type compression on the sound – causing a “pumpy” effect (not srsWow – I know the difference). If you’re looking for any reasonable bass responce, good luck finding it WMP. The best sound results you’re likely to get is by droping everything to -14 and then boost the freqs you like to a max of +3 to +5

Can anyone recommend a player with a sensible EQ range (down to at least 25Hz) that actually makes good use of any sound cards produced 1995 onwards? Yes, sub 32 adds boom, but a bass drum does not stop at 32 – boom is part of it’s sound and if you’re into more electronica sounds the tones used go way below that.

THANK YOU JOHN CRAWFORD!! Yeah, the Numbers, 62’s, 32’s H’s, Z’s, K’s and WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS!! (Oh, don’t get me wrong…all the other sites that said “put your cursor on the ones you want up and move it up, ones you want down, move down” were very educational. I started to apply for the “mixing board” job at CBGB’s! lol.
Thanks for the real info, finally. –Rebecca

Hey Kristine, how do you like the Klipsch? I’m about to buy a few new speakers for the systems, here.

Wow Thanks, I could not find the equilizer in my Mp11. Now that I have my Klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers are really jumping around. I will be deaf soon.

Be sure you turn off the SRS Wow effects. I use Media Player when converting music for the station, it works great, but you do need to experiment a bit to find “your’ sound.

Good luck

Hey guys, here’s a breakdown for those that might not know a lot about frequency response. Being that WMP’s eq is only a 10 band eq, you’re not going to get a very responsive fine tuning. But, boost your 62Hz fader to add a little punch in the low end. (Boosting the 32Hz fader will really just add a lot of low end boominess). Boost 250 Hz to add a little fullness to the bass and midrange. Boost 2K and 4K to add clarity to the vocals.
