I use no eq or room correction. Great tracks sound great, good tracks sound good, and lousy tracks sound lousy. But you know why they sound lousy.
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
How do you know if it is the recording or your system?
By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy. Does that ever happen to you? I feel like I am getting the treble sorted out, but going back and forth on the bass.
Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.
Thanks.

From Wikipedia: The original 1973 LP was released on two discs, while the 1992 and 1995 CD remasters put the album on one disc as it was slightly less than 80 minutes. The 30th anniversary edition followed the original format, splitting the album across two discs to allow the inclusion of the bonus tracks, while a DVD on the making of the album was also included. The album has also been released by Mobile Fidelity as a single disc 24 karat gold CD. The album (including all four bonus tracks) was released on SACD (2003), DVD-Audio (2004), and Blu-ray Audio (2014).[21] These high resolution releases included the original stereo mixes, as well as 5.1 remixes produced and engineered by Greg Penny.
Unfortunately Funeral for a Friend is the first track and it takes a good 20+ minutes for things to really warm up and sound their best so I always have to repeat it at the end if it is the first disk I'm listening to. I assume your version has the acoustic Goodbye Norma Jean included? |
