iPhone iPod Plus

All music is based on sound frequencies that reach our ears through the air. Because of the limitations implicit in the recording and playback of music, never recorded songs sound exactly like the original: the recording quality, our team where the player and listen to affect the sound. That is the reason for the equalizer, and with the help of iTunes, we can make adjustments to sound frequencies that we hear, and to reduce and correct these defects resulting from the recording and playback of music.

What is the equalizer in iTunes?

Although for many people not even exist, is there. iTunes includes an equalizer, enabling adjustments intensive, with preset EQs. And depending on the version we can access it from the icon at the bottom right in the iTunes window or the window menu and select equalizer.

Basically, the equalizer window contains the option to turn it off or keep, a menu that allows you to choose and edit the settings for EQ, a bar with the pre-amp and 10 bands of frequencies of sound. If not I keep playing the equalizer off, the music will sound as good (or bad) as it is compressed. Encedemos But if you can get to fix and set up different programs in any song.

Step2

How the iTunes equalizer The first bar we see is the pre-amplifier, which allows us to amplify or reduce the volume in general. It is usually best to leave it in a neutral position and alter the volume through the stereo or audio player to use. Each of the 10 frequency bands affects a different range frecuancias numbered (32/64/125/etc .). Other programs may have more or less frecuancia bands, however their number is a rather arbitrary, and anyway, in all cases the frequency bands correspond to different types of sound. And basically, we grouped these 10 bands in 3 main groups of sound: Bass (Bass or bass): Skipping the pre-amplifier, it would be the first 2 bands: 32 and 64 Hz These frequencies cover the lower scores. In many cases, you can not hear the low auriclares if we have some very basic, especially if we do not have a sub-woofer. Increasing these bands Maor gives depth to the music with very low can be marked as such dance music, reggae and rap.

Midrange (Midrange): These are 6 bands from 125 Hz to 4K Hz, and cover most of the sounds found in music. The voices are often found in these frequency bands, as well as guitars, pianos, the Majori battery of musical instruments. Treble (Treble): The last 2 bands, 8K Hz to 16K Hz, affecting sounds higher, the treble. While most of the music lies in the midrange, treble end notes usually contain many instruments such as violins, and even some high tones voices as well as many of the sounds harmonics (the harmonics that are above of the tones, giving the music great depth, thus eliminating these tones can cause the music sounds empty, lifeless).

Step3

Adjusting the equalizer to use the basic functions of the equalizer, we simply have to go to the dropdown menu and select one of the preset EQs. Includes names like Apple amplifier bass and treble reducer similar name which clearly describes the effect produced, others as small speakers are specifically designed to improve the deficiencies of this type of speakers, and others such as acoustic, classical or electronics are designed to take into account the main frequencies used for these types of music. And as always, have a manual to select the values you want and create their own. If you want to start testing the equalizer, the council is to start with our favorite songs, with which we are most familiar. Listen to them first with the equalizer off, then turn on and test with different presets and see what sounds best.

Step 4
Creating our own EQs If we start adjusting any of the bars of the window of the equalizer, the menu is placed by default in manual mode. You can make any adjustments to be using the general guidelines on the 3 main groups of sounds that have been discussed previously: bass, midrange and treble. After finding the values we want, we can choose to create and save a preset with the name you want to keep it and use it when we want. Then we can select the preset, apply it wherever and whenever we want. And if we want to rename or delete the preset, we just have to go to edit list, select the preset that we want to modify and make changes. If we are to delete a preset, iTunes will ask if you want to delete all songs which, we have applied (looking a little more on this in step 5). When we use the equalizer in this manner, if we light it and do not specify anything, the equalizer settings are applied to all the songs in our library iTunes.

Step 5
Applying presets to specific songs: Once you start to get used to using the equalizer, one quickly realizes that there is a tool that provides a solution that fits in a uniform manner to all our songs, but like songs using different instruments and different frequencies of sound, changes made in the sound of a song can have a very different effect in other songs. With this in mind, we can apply presets to specific songs, albums, genre, or as desired. A way to do this is to select a song, select the option to obtain information. In the window that appears, select the options tab, where we have an option that is preset equalizer, which allows us to access a menu with all the presets that we have. Preajues To apply it to multiple songs, we must select multiple songs, get the information from all of them as a conjunti, then select a menu preajueste preset equalizer. Finally, another way of doing this is going to the View menu, select display options and select the equalizer . In doing so we will see a column under the heading of equalization. This column shows that we have applied what preset songs, or we remain empty no preset selected for that song.
