5 band graphic equalizer

i just found out that my mp3 player allows me to preset a graphic equalizer setting.
can anyone recommend what would be the optimum setup for listening to house/trance?
the levels go upto 12dB.

cheers

flat! that is what mastering is for! Failing that the classic "dance" smile is always popular on lo-fi equipment. Boost the lows and highs then cut the mids.

i would normally agree with that statement.. however.. knowing my own mp3 player has lame ass bass coming from the ear plugs... i usually pump the bass a bit more..

also.. the circuits in mp3 players are not always ideal and sometimes they will give off uneven frequency response.


my 2c -> ... find a track that you have heard a million times... and heard all different places on all different systems.. one that you know back to front... then play it. and adjust till it doesnt sound tinny and weak... bring it to a level that sounds most like how you remember it... that should be a decent eq setting...
