A 'perfect' iTunes equalizer setting
Re: noise generator and spectrum analyzer
A 'perfect' iTunes equalizer setting
I thought I'd just dig into com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist and add & subtract from each band as necessary to create calibrated "Rock/Pop/Loudness/etc." presets. The EQ property list is kinda scary lookin' though, and I never got around to trying anything with AppleScript -- but after it was calibrated I didn't really use the other presets anyway After I noticed that there is an eq settings plist on the iPod, I thought this would be a great application for some adventurous programer/developer out there. Write an app that would allow modifying the iPod's EQ presets, with some type of GUI, like an EQ. I haven't really made any tests to see if the iPod can actually copy custom EQ curves from iTunes, but I haven't found any documentation that says it can. I haven't done any of this in a while, but I always thought you were supposed to use white noise for calibration. White noise has an equal distribution of frequencies, while pink noise has a low pass curve and therefore has less high frequencies. It's warmer, so it's pink. :) Regarding iPod battery life. Yes, this is true. using the EQ shortens your battery life. But I can't listen to my iPod without EQ! Gotta hear that bass! (I'm a bass player) :) --- |
