I'm extremely tempted to spout a lot of vitriol and sarcasm here, but I'll settle for noting that a) this looks like a horrible equalizer setting and b) the point of an equalizer is to compensate for distortions introduced by the speakers or the room. Get decent speakers, lower the volume of MP3's by running MP3Gain on them to avoid clipping (as virtually all the mastering engineers these days should be shot en masse for mixing albums ridiculously loud, thus slaughtering dynamic range) and set the equalizer according to your own preferences, is my advice. » POSTED IN:
