Optimal Settings using Graphic Equalizer

Hey everybody, I'm on a laptop computer (A Dell XPS M70) with surround speakers (two on the front, two on top next to the keyboard, and a subwoofer). The speakers sound okay, but I was wondering if anyone had optimal settings for the graphics equalizer to make the sound clearer and with greater bass definition. Please post either a screenshot of the settings, or just state what setting you have each slider of the Graphics Equalizer on. Thanks a lot!

Actually Hick he's right and your wrong, LOL. I decided to take a look at Dells site and his laptop does have an intergrated sub.
<SPAN><B>Standard:</B>
<SPAN>High definition integrated stereo sound with Integrated subwoofer.
<SPAN>Stereo 2 watt per channel main speakers and 5 watt, class D subwoofer with bass reflex port
Don't take my word for it tho, here's a link http://www.dell.com/content/products...n=specs#tabtop

    Maybe you have installed all this stuff in wrong installations order. I have installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite A500 following this installations order:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -storage manager
    -display driver
    -sound driver
    -modem driver
    -supervisor utility
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    -toshiba hardware setup
    -HDMI control
    -WLAN driver
    Added Vista stuff:
    -Toshiba assist - work properly
    -Card reader - installed properly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works properly.
    -Synaptics driver
    Everything works perfectly including hardware setup. I don't know maybe you should install Win7 again following this installations order.
    By the way: hardware setup was shown in control panel in WXP but since Vista not anymore. So I asked you this question because I know for sure it is not in control panel anymore.
    Since Vista Toshiba packed all tools and utilities overview in Toshiba Assist.

  • How to Retain Graphic Equalizer Settings?

    When I click on the Graphic Equalizer icon in FCPX (under Audio Enhancements in the Inspector for a selected audio clip), it always opens up with the default settings for the selected Equalization mode even if the mode isn't changed.  The documentation says that changing the mode, like switching from "Flat" to "Hum Reduction", will reset the levels which I can totally agree with because a new presets model is being selected.  But, if I've spent considerable time adjusting the levels (and the mode now reads "Hum Reduction (edited)") and then click on the Graphic Equalizer icon, instead of opening with the adjusted levels displayed it opens with the levels reverted back to defaults.  All the hard work of setting the levels gets erased if I want to further tweak the levels some more.  Is this a bug, or is there a different way of opening the equalizer without trashing a clip's current settings?

    This seems to be a bug and has been reported numerous times. Suggest you send a report to Apple. Use  Final cut menu send feedback to Apple. As a workaround use one of the audio EQ effects. The Logic Pro one is quite good.

  • Using the itunes graphic equalizer with my ipod nano

    I read in the ipod nano manual that it is possible to use the graphic eq in itunes for my ipod nano. You have to switch off the equalizer on the ipod in the 'playback' section which I did. Then the manual says that you can assign tracks to the graphic eq on itunes. Unfortunately it doesnt say exactly how to do that. I dont like the eq presets on the ipod nano and would like to use the graphic equalizer on itunes to eq all of the songs on my ipod nano. Does anyone know how to do this. Please help as this problem has taken over my life!!

    *I dont like the eq presets on the ipod nano and would like to use the graphic equalizer on itunes to eq all of the songs on my ipod nano*
    Are you planning to create custom EQ settings in iTunes and expect them to transfer to the iPod? "The iPod does not use custom equalizer settings made in iTunes. You can't create custom equalizer settings on iPod, or transfer custom settings to iPod": iPod: About the Equalizer

  • Changes to using graphic settings in Bridge CS6 scripts

    The "CS6 Tools Guide" document shows no changes in how graphical settings should be used for Foreground Colour, Background Colour, Fonts and Font Size, as well as the use of Images in panels.  All these work as before with scripts used in Photoshop CS6.  But with Bridge CS6 the use of an image will crash Bridge, whereas the settings for Colours and Fonts are just ignored.  Does Bridge CS6 now have customised settings for graphical changes to panels?  Or is this a bug?

    I'd much rather have 32 bits that do what they ought to… sounds like CS6 has 48 that don't…

  • Can you import the graphic equalizer presets from 1.5 into 3.0?

    Is there a way to import the graphic equalizer presets from AA 1.5 into 3.0?  I want to use the "Destination: Car Stereo" preset.

    It's actually pretty simple to do, but I have to warn you that because the effects were rewritten in Audition 3, transferring presets means that they won't necessarily sound the same, I'm afraid. Also, make sure that you've installed the patch first, so you're running 3.0.1.
    Process goes like this: Find your Audition.ini file (this is in C:Documents and Settings\{username}Application Data\Adobe\Audition\1.5 - these files might be hidden; you have to unhide them first), and to play safe, make a copy of it. Pick up the copy and drop it on the Audition 3 icon on your desktop. Yes I know this sounds a bit strange, but just do it! What will happen after a few seconds is that Audition 3 will open, but you'll get a number of dialog boxes telling you what's going on, and asking for permission to overwrite anything that has the same name. Essentially it will transfer every 1.5 preset you have into 3.0.1.

  • New stream, low upload rate... Optimal Settings for streaming games?

    I've been fiddling around with FMLE for the past few days/weeks and trying to find the best quality to stream quality games such as Bad Comapny 2, Starcraft 2, Mass Effect 2, etc
    I am able to play games at max settings, but when I do the stream will lag so I choose to make the settings low enough so I can stream.
    The only probably right now is they seem quite blurry/pixelated - which is probably due to my upload rate of 0.8mbps from SpeedTest.net1
    My specs are:
    Resolution of 1680x1050 (Most of my games like Bad Company 2 are played at 1280x720 windowed mode)
    i5-2500K
    GTX 560 Ti
    12GB Ram
    1TB Hard Disk Space
    Windows 7 64bit
    Upload rate of 0.8mbps (and 5.0mbps download incase it is needed)
    http://www.justin.tv/mrshotzzzz/videos - Bad Company 2 at the moment... There seems to be a LOT of blurryness, but it seems quite smooth.
    http://www.twitch.tv/mrshotzzzz/b/293073526?id=293073526&channel=mrshotzzzz - This is my latest... (skip to 1:25 where I configure it to be good)
    When I fullscreen it, around the edges mainly, I see it is pixleted.
    I use 1280x720 input, and 640x360 output with 800kbps. Is it possible to make it better?
    Would an output of 640x360 with a bitrate of 650kbps be better?
    Would an output of 854x480 be better?
    Could changing my input size to 1920x1080 make my quality better?
    tl;dr What is the optimal settings for a good specced computer, but with a low upload rate (0.8mbps)?

    Hi,
    In iChat 3 or iChat 4 setting System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5Mbps is quite important.
    In Tiger (10.4.x) the Automatic Setting here is read as Zero by iChat and can cause issues even when the Speed is high enough.
    In Leopard for iChat 4 this Automatic setting is read as 384k by iChat (although this is the Minimum for a 4 way Video chat it may still cap your Internet Speed).
    If you have to change this iChat will need a restart if open.
    The real controlling factor is the Upload speed the Internet Connection speed has.
    There is one other place to help with the Bandwidth/Internet Connection speed.
    This is in iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down.
    This can be changed during A/V chat and changes to the Bit rate iChat is using is shown in the Connection Doctor (Video Menu).
    This is best used when Really Fast Buddies (Processors and Internet Speeds) can tend to "Over-run" lesser speeded Buddies. It can also help if your ISP manages the Bandwidth/Internet Connection speed making it run slower or faster at different times of the day (Also look at Fair Usage Policies).
    There is no independent way to reduce the Frame rate that would have a direct effect on this.
    There are other apps that do use less demanding picture quality that in turn effects the Frame rate which can effect the Bandwidth needed/Used
    See this link http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
    Scroll to numbers 5 through 8 for Apps, 9 through 12 for Web Browser options.
    13 is a PC app.
    14 & 15 works in Video only to MSN Buddies.
    The list does not have a reference to the Yahoo Beta 3 for Mac

  • Can't use Graphics Processor for Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8

    Hi,
    I just got a fresh upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro (not beta) but then I can't use Photoshop that well. In the Preferences > Performance, I can't tick "Use Graphics Processor". I have an ATI graphics card and yep, I've already tried upgrading/reinstalling my graphics driver, even installing old ones -- and still, this doesn't solve my problem (even in its control panel, I can't seem to see the settings of the graphics card!)
    Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

    What display driver have you installed?  And what is your card?
    The ATI Catalyst 12.8 driver release claims to be compatible with Windows 8, though I haven't tried the combination myself yet.
    Did you install Windows 8 as an upgrade or a clean install?  The latter is always preferable.
    I know a secret registry incantation that will force Photoshop to use the OpenGL subsystem no matter what, and I've used that to get GPU acceleration in a test installation in a virtual machine, but rather that put that forth just yet let's find out if you've done all you can the "above board" way first.

  • [Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

    Hi!
    I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
    The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
    The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
    At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
    # loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
    for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
    clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
    # t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
    # which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
    # grab the frames and perform the fft here
    ...numpy.fft.fft...
    # set the new bar heights and draw them
    for bar in bars:
    bar.update()
    # if playback has not started yet, make it so
    if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
    musicfile.play()
    The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
    we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
    But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
    Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
    Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
    I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

  • CS4 Doesn't Show Saved Optimized Settings

    I'm used to CS3's way of doing things.
    When in "Save For Web and Devices...", i tried to save some settings and was presented with a file dialog.  Having no idea where they should go in order to show in the pop-up, and not finding a satisfactory answer in help, i tried the Photoshop Presets folder under 'Optimized Settings'.  No go.
    Today i read in the FAQ here that they should be saved in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Optimized Settings/
    Seems to me if that's where they should go, Photoshop ought to just save them there.  When i tried to choose that location to save in, the folder "Optimized Settings" didn't exist at that path so i created it and saved them there.
    The settings still didn't show up in the menu before or after restarting Photoshop.
    Mac Pro 1.1 - 2.66 GHz - 9 GB - 2 TB HD - OS 10.5.7 - Photoshop 11.0.1.

    Woops.
    My mistake.
    I mixed up the location for Illustrator Optimized Settings with that of Photoshop Optimized settings.  For some reason Illustrator settings go in "Application Support", while Photoshop Optimized Settings go in "Preferences"; specifically:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Optimized Settings/
    It's a bit confusing since there are Adobe Photoshop CS4 "Presets" folders in the app folder, and in Application Support, as well as in Preferences.

  • Graphic equalizer?

    Is it possible at all to use custom equalizer settings on any iPod? By this I don't mean the presets available in Settings -> Music -> EQ but something similar to the equalizer in iTunes where you can adjust each frequency individually.
    If not, is there any other way to improve the bass response on low impedance headphones (aside from buying/making a headphone amp)? My Sennheiser HD280s have weak bass response on my iPod compared to both my stereo system's and my MacBook's headphone jacks. The "bass booster" preset adds way too much bass.

    Hi password,
    I too was dissapointed in the audio playback quality of this device. I was hoping to not have to have an MP3 player when I travel. Maybe soon someone will create an app that will improve the audio playback quality. Or maybe BB will soend some programmer time and add it in with a SW update. In the mean time the player is also in my briefcase...

  • Optimal settings for encoding HDV 1080i footage to SD dvd

    I have footage recorded from an HDV camcorder and edited in FCP 1080i 60. It is fast moving sports footage shot with a high shutter speed the total running time is 40 min. I have encoded it to DVD by taking the HDV 16:9 FCP sequence dropping it to a 4by3 DV sequence to get the window box 4by3 aspect ratio and exporting this sequence as an mov. This mov was then encoded with compressor dvd 90 min best settings
    I was not able to find a quick way to do the aspect ratio change in Compressor 3. Please let me know optimal settings.
    The big problem however is how compressor has dealt with the high speed moving footage. Played from the DVD on a sd tv the motion is terrible. It looks like the interlacing is all off and the image doubled up. The slow mo footage used in the piece is fine.
    What are the optimal settings to smooth out the motion?

    this ones been discussed to death many times in the past John

  • Graphic equalizer crashing after driver upgr

    Hi.
    Upgraded the drivers today using software autoupdate, for some reason the graphic equalizer stopped working.
    Booted into safemode removed all drivers and reinstalled them from the cd and the equalizer was working.
    Used software autoupdate and updated to the latest driver and the equalizer stopped working AGAIN.
    Took a look in windows logbook and found this.
    Felaktigt program cteq.exe, version .5..0, felaktig modul equda.eqc, version ..3.0, felaktig adress 0x0000ee9.
    Not sure what the correct words are but translated into english its something like.
    wrong program cteq.exe, version .5..0, wrong module equda.eqc,versin ..3.0, wrong adress 0.0000ee9
    Windows xp with all recent upgrades.
    Audigy2?
    ?So what is the problem and can it be solved?
    Regards.

    If you need the graphic equalizer you need to roll back to the latest working driver for the Audigy 2: http://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/
    For installing the unofficial driver pack you don't need the official Audigy2 install cd, since the unofficial pack already includes the applications such as the graphic equalizer, EAX console, surround mixer etc.; if you need all the applications that are only available with the official Audigy 2 install disc you should install the drivers and applications from the disc and update the driver to the mentioned version of 2.09.006 (9 oct 2006); my experience is that this older driver for the Audigy series causes less problems than the official newer beta drivers.
    Good luck!

  • Optimal Settings for FCP6 on MacBook Pro?

    Up until a week ago, I've worked mostly on a Mac Pro with Final Cut Studio 2. I've been fortunate enough to get a MacBook Pro (2.6Ghz) also outfitted with FCS2 and I'm wondering if there is such a thing as "optimal settings" for running FCS2 on the portable notebook.
    I'm referring to such things as memory and cache settings and Playback control, etc. I would like the MBP to run FCS as efficiently as possible. I know I won't get the same power-crunching ability as the Mac Pro but does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any help.

    We have a 2.4Ghz MBP with the 256 MB video card.
    We have 4 GBs of RAM, which you should consider.
    However, without indicating what codec and cam you will be using, there isn't much more to say.
    If you are working with a DV or HDV camcorder, for example, use an ExpressCard 34 FW or eSATA card and an external HDD for media.
    That creates independent FW buses if you go that route or a FW bus and a eSATA HDD connection.
