Best EQ for Heavy Metal?

What is the best EQ Setting for Heavy Metal?

[Bilbo Baggins]

I think that it is better to experiment, and tweak the settings yourself, since everyone has differnet speaker and soundcard rigs.

I hate people with Alienware machines

I guess i will have to adjust them my self =/ :*(

Aww, thats mean man.....

I have 3 Alienware Machines =)... 1 Custom... 2 Hp's... 1 Dell....

Mwa Hwa Hwa! LAN PARTY AT MY HOUSE! ( i play about all da' games... =) ) Mwa Hwa Hwa!

i use the same EQ setting for all my music.

oOo.... i use Rock.. it sounds the best that i can see.... ( well you know what i mean! "Hear" )

If you adjust it to the type of songs you listen to... you will love the songs you listen to ALOT more!

That was pretty random, but I personally can't stand the cases and the prices.

The best EQ setting is none at all, assuming that these tracks were ripped by someone who had half a clue as to what they were doing. That's why I stopped downloading songs for the most part. Half of these people have no idea how to rip a cd.

my EQ preset is pretty close to nothing. all i did was put it all to zero and then lowered the mids a little(small bass boost). sounds pretty good too.

The best way to enjoy heavy metal is by clicking the "Stop" button.

I ended up pulling my Preamp down a couple dBs because most audio CDs are manufactured with volume levels that damn near clip the highs off the music. I also lowered the bass ranges on my EQ a little, lowered the midrange levels quite a bit, and put the treble ranges up a little bit. My EQ sliders look like a valley, so to speak. I keep the bass and treble knobs on my stereo amplifier set to 0, too.

like a valley? I remember hearing somewhere that i should set my EQ pedal to my guitar like that.

With the current state of the music scene these days, I'll agree with that.

That shouldn't make a difference, though. If the music is compressed so much that it clips the highs off, they're clipped off - postprocessing after that won't fix it...
