When you move the sliders down you are cutting that frequency and when you move th up you are boosting them. Play around with it and learn how it changes the sound. This way you can tailor the EQ to the sound signature YOU like. Hope that helps. Get the OZONE plugin. There are some others too but ozone is one of the best.

Are you using XP or Vista? I have some other tips that will improve your sound, but we can get to that later.

So, have you tried any of the suggestions?

I'm using winamp with vista. My keyboard has the basic skip, pause, stop keys on it; is there a way to use these with winamp, or will they only work with WMP?

Thanks,

Well my Microsoft Reclusa, made by Razer can be configured throught the program to be use for Winamp. Dunno for common ones.

Does your keyboard have included software? If not perhaps look through the Winamp Plugins section and see if you can find one for Hot Keys.

the middle freq will bring out the sounds of guitars and voices, and will also give your drums a bit more 'pop'. try adjusting your mid range while listening to 'smoke on the water' or something with lots of power chords in it. 'power chords' get their 'power' from mid range.

[Robscix]

many instruments will have their center freqs. within a certain range but their harmonics and other factors that make up the "character" of the instrument will lie within other ranges.

I am preparing a procedure for guys new to Winamp for adding better quality equalizers and effects to your player and info on plugins in general to help users improve their sound quality using this Media player.

Anyone ever found a good G15 plugin for winamp that lets you control the playlist like Ray's G15 Winamp plugin did? Only reason I don't use Rays is the bug that causes Winamp to crash on exit and periodically consume 100% CPU.

Did you look through the Plugin list and see if there is one that will suit your needs?
