I tried it with my Audio Technica m50x and barely noticed it at higher volume, which I never use anyway, BUT I tried it with my galaxy buds live, and there is a noticeable difference. It is worth trying, thank you for your video!!!!!
i had a question, i have logitech g635/g633s and they come with a software which allows me to change the eq and various other things like mic volume, lighting effects etc. if im using equaliser apo and i want to make sure that the frequency response is flat, do i need to uninstall the app by resetting everything or i can use it but keep the equaliser flat ?
Posso usare la curva di equalizzazione in un altro programma? Ad esempio Qrange? (Plugin) Purtroppo non ho "eq apo". Posso scaricare il file di calibrazione della mia cuffia e inserirlo nel plugin?
tried this with my ath m40x'S and damn i never realized how muffled too loud everything was at default now i can clearly hear every song i listen to. basically its like cleaning your glasses
Thank you! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Your step by step process was just what I needed. Again, thank you.... I just tried it with Band In A Box but it seems to have no effect there. Would I need to adjust settings in BIAB? (I'm using Scarlett 2i2)? And now just tried it with Amazon Prime Video and it seems to have no effect there either. Interesting.
Glad you liked it! Does this help: github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/referenceaudioanalyzer/referenceaudioanalyzer_hdm-x_harman_over-ear_2018/OneOdio%20Studio%20Standard%20Professional%20DJ%20headphone ?
Hey Rodrigo! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately, EqualizerApo isn't built for macOS. But you can take a look at this: eqmac.app/ . It's not yet a full replacement, but could still help.
@@odysseyofcuriosity hi. I am not happy with the sound EqualizerApo provides. How can I double check if the preset is making my headphones KOSS Porta Pro flat for real? How can I be sure that it has been configured properly for my headphones?
Glad you found it useful! If your set is from a fairly well-known company, but your exact model isn't present in any of the repositories, maybe you can try and find a similar model - ex: Sennheiser HD 598 is on the list, but you have Sennheiser HD 599. This of course won't be perfect, but it might be close enough. This can always be further tweaked manually, if needed. If there aren't any similar models either, I would just grab 4 random presets, try them, pick the one that sounds the best to me, and start manually tweaking from there. This way, getting a true flat frequency response won't be easy at all, but you still have the option to customise the sound exactly to your liking. Try and keep the EQ curve as smooth as possible (avoid boosting or cutting by a lot of dB), and listen to various tracks while doing it, for reference. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Tried it just now for Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohm headphones-- it reduces the clarity quite a bit (feels like I'm applying Sennheiser veil! :-) ) but I understand that that's how the original song is supposed to sound like.
I found that for a way to find out if it works is to set a preamp at -30 db which I did and found no change. I followed everything step by step and but I guess mine still doesn't work. Is there any fixes?
I had the same issue until I went back and opened the "config.txt" file and removed/edited the modifiers from that. Originally, I accidentally closed the fine and made a new one.
i use mix using FL studio, i think it removes the eq i have applied as things sound different when i export a file per say. I also set the default as my interface so im not sure why it still changes the eq? any help pls
Hey man. From what you describe, things work exactly as they should. The EQ you are applying using the steps shown in this video is only affecting your monitoring, essentially to "correct" your headphones. There's no point in burning the same EQ curve in your exported files, as other listeners will have different headphones/speakers. You want your file to sound as good as possible everywhere. Hope this helps!
@@odysseyofcuriosity Hey can you please tell me how I can check how much i need to turn down the gain on preamp for my akg k52 to not distort or should i just go with -6 like you
I had the same issue until I went back and opened the "config.txt" file and removed/edited the modifiers from that. Originally, I accidentally closed the fine and made a new one.
It doesn't work because FL Studio probably takes exclusive control over your soundcard via ASIO. You can configure it to use the Default Playback Output via regular Windows API's instead, and it should work. Yet you might have more latency. Try it and see how it goes.
So by following your steps the earphones/speakers are now with flat response but not your hearing! As you already may know, everyone have its own audible frequency range, mine now is 12 hz to 16 kHz aging 34 and what everyone should want in my opinion is to perceive the entire own audible frequency range sounding in the same level when playing a logarithmic sweep sine through the device you are using IF you want it equalized just for YOUR hearing! Then your hearing capabilities plus your audio device source should be perceived flattened for you in order to listen to a sound mix the way the sound engineer intended thus making the resulting experience relying entirely, per say, on the engineer mastering capabilities. But in order to this work as intended, when an audio engineer mix a music he first have to make a personal equalization based on his personal hearing capabilities plus audio device he is using to listen to the sound, this neutral equalization should be applied as the last in the plug-in chain, then when he finish the mix he just take the plug-in with his personal equalization from the chain of the mix in order to make the mix tottaly neutral for everyone. But in order to hear the mix the way the engineer intended one must apply its own personal neutral equalization (hearing capabilities plus the device you will use to listen to the audio mix). Sorry about my bad English, I hope that I made myself clear about this and again this is just my opinion that I got by studying some articles over the internet over the years.
@@joshuabecker325 Doesn't seem to be the issue. I tried using different EQ's (like the parametric one) and it works fine so I'm guessing it might be an issue specific to my headphone model. The parametric EQ should sound virtually identical to the graphic one (maybe even more accurate if I understand terms correctly) so I'm happy with just using it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hey man! Sorry to hear that. I downloaded the file linked in the description of this video and scanned it using Windows Defender and Virustotal.com - it is completely clean of any malware. Are you sure you used the provided links?
@@odysseyofcuriosity Yes.. But I am confused whether it was by your link or any other thing... A'll my file are turned into unreadable text file. I am finding soLuton for it.. But really as soon I installed from link, This all happened to me.. Any solution from you?
Ransomware is usually bad news. Any chance you have a system restore point available? As for the source, it has to be some other link. Both of the links I shared are from reputable sources (SourceForge/GitHub), and don't seem to trigger any antivirus. Plus, the presets are in .csv format, which is very similar to a text file + open source, so it's very unlikely it came from them, either. Did you download any other .exe files lately? Unfortunately, there is a cyber war going on right now, and ransomware attacks have been rampant. You are probably a victim of this. This sucks bad. Hope you manage to save your files, man. 🙁
Graphic EQ's: A graphic EQ will give you a fixed quantity of frequency bands. So you can think of it as points that are more Narrow and somewhat precise. Parametric EQ's: A parametric EQ give you more control on exactly where you want the frequency bands to be at making it more precise. They also allow you to sweep through frequency ranges when locating a sucky frequency. So you can think of this are a more precise and allows better freedom to find what exact frequencies you want to adjust. However, choose whichever will suit your ears when using EQ's. For me I like using Parametric EQ's since it give me a Visual ad on how the overall shape will look. But I also like Graphic EQ's as they limit me and make me think of ways to think on how to adjust things to fit my ears specifically. P.S. Do take this information with a grain of salt, and some fries.
I'm sure it's a good app, but I was disappointed when you mentioned GitHub because they need different levels for users: Beginner, intermediate and advanced.

Not for mac but I get the idea. I have EQ's just need a host app that will let me put my EQ on top. THANKS
For Mac, you will want to look into eqmac2: sourceforge.net/projects/eqmac2/ . It should be pretty much the same thing. Let me know how it goes 👌
This actually isn't making your eq flat! It's using the "harman" eq curve, which is found to be the most enjoyable for human hearing! c:
Yeah , they should use brown noise as a target wich I think is actually flat (or pink noise ? Idk )
eq doesn't exist for hd206 Sennheiser
