What EQ does everyone use when listening to music?

The charachteristics of your system likely don't match the ones they use to record, hence EQ 😉
 
I have an external rack that I can use when I feel really nerdy. Otherwise, the majority of the digital ones on my computer either sound bad or tick me off. If anyone knows of one that interacts directly with the soundcard to change the levels I'd be ever so appreciative.

I like to listen to my music as the producer meant it to be heard.

Does it through of the music that much?...BTW i'm just talking about my ipod😀... I just go good earphones too.
 
I don't even remember for the computer. In the car and on my actual stereo I'm incessantly fiddling with it so I don't have a fixed EQ setting. Guess that makes me a sound tech at heart, even if my preferred settings don't match what I'd set up a system to sound like for a public performance.

With a good sound card and a decent set of headphones without EQ you are as close as you'll get to as it was recorded...
 
Fvck the producer, I listen to it the way I want it to be heard. Most of the time I use the Rock preset in Winamp.

A good producer doesn't listen to see how the mix sounds on different systems?

I have an external hardware EQ, I don't really change the settings all that much.

Another thing, I want as few steps between my source and my speakers as possible.

i prefer to enjoy it as intended myself, so i steer well clear of EQs...

Different systems?
Like what? A "good producer" takes his mixes and puts them on every run of the mill consumer stereo system to make sure it sounds ok? No, they don't.

Real producers produce music on the best, and expect it to be replayed on the best, period.
