I Registered just to tell you, this is very nice EQ Settings and they make out amazing* sound. Although I did add some bass. Also where would I get Loseless* type songs from? Still need to connect HDMI to 5.1, but I coudn't  do it without HDMI plug in TV( HDMI on the laptop doesn't see player.

Somehow, the default Beats Studio EQ preset was overridden.  I tried reinstalling the software but it still shows the settings as flat.

 

Could someone tell me what are the equalizer settings are for the Beats Studio preset? Also what are the best custom EQ settings for rap music?

HP Recommended

I am glad to see that the eq settings worked well for you.

 

As for lossless type audio. you really have to go out of your way to find it. many online music retailers do not sell lossless audio because it is more difficult to get lossless forms of music, it uses much more space, and very few people care enough about sound quality to get it. Cd's are technically lossless because they are not compressed (320 kbps is usually the pinnacle of lossy audio (MP3 Lame) while anything above that is usually lossless). some people say that the term lossless or lossy does not apply to Cd's since it varies on how it is recorded or the year that particular Cd was made or if the Cd is 128 or 320 kbps, but i digress. the best (legal) way is to by Cd's then rip them at or above 320 kbps. there may be a program that rips cds without compressing it in anyway. You'll have to do your homework on that; to see if you can get the program of even if your computer had the optical drive to rip without compressing. there are many (illegal) ways to get lossless forms of music but I'm just giving information here, not condoning anything.

 

If you want to connect your laptop to some sort of player using a HDMI cord then you can do it through a HDTV or through a newer Digital receiver. both have HDMI outputs. either that or you get a high quality sound processor for your car, but that's delving into the audiophile realm.

 

ADDENDUM, do you think that your HDMI port on your laptop is broken or is just not reading the cord when you plug it in?

This is a detailed post on how to get the best sound out of  your Beats Audio notebook. This is also a board to discuss music and sound quality in general so we can all experience music as it was meant to be heard, wherever and however we may hear to it.  first a bit about me and my "credentials" As an extreme sound enthusiast, with an audio company of my own. i bought my Dv7 in september and subsequently bought the Beats headphones to fully experience what the notebook has to offer. as a personal rule, i compare every "system" to my car, in which i have 13 speakers, 2 amps, an Alpine Imprint sound processor and whole bunch of batteries. as you can imagine, the car sounds excellent, so this is the closest i was able to get my Dv7 to sound equal.

 

Beat Audio Setting 

 

first of, use the Beats Audio EQ, its there for a reason and if you don't adjust it, music just sounds terrible. to get to it, just search of HP beats audio control panel. you may want to add a shortcut on you desktop for easy access. click on equalization under speakers and headphones. now here is where your personal preference takes note, i tuned my eq to best compliment every type of music i listen to (dance, rock, hip-hop, classical, scores, and vocal) depending on what type of music you listen to, you will adjust the raise or lower the Db according to the Hz's. as a rule, the lower the Hz's, the more bass is played and the higher the Hz's, the more vocals/ highs are played. Subsequently, knowing what Hz's affect the notes in a song also helps. 31-62 Hz's are bass. 125-250 bass/mid. 500-KHz are where most vocals are heard. 15khz is where most notes to high to clearly hear are played. although you can hear them, only a few songs have important notes that go that high.

 

 

31hz-  -1db          

adjust to how much bass you like without interfering with vocals

 

62hz   -3db

adjust to how much bass you like without interfering with vocals

 

125hz   -14db      

this should be very low. at 0db, the mids overwhelm every other note, to the point it truly disrupt the music. its important to drop this, it muffles vocals severely

 

250Hz   -5db

just like the mid bass above, but not as disruptive, so you can leave this at a higher db. note that both mid bass contain important notes in music, as such having them down lessens some notes, but it does far more good down than harm

 

500hz   2db

1khz      3db

2khz      3db

4khz      3db

8khz      4db

16khz    8db

 

adjust slightly to your preference, but this is a good place to set it. don't forget to SAVE IT! play different songs from different genera and tweak it till you find a good spot for all your music. but realize that rap songs will always have more bass than classical music, so you may have to raise and lower the two left markers depending on what your listening to, but the rest should be fine regardless of genera.

 

Computer Setting.

 

your computer has a different setting than that of beats audio, as such you may want to address it too. search for sound, click on speakers and headphones and select properties. tone should be 4 bass and 4 treble. now enhancements. they are all off and include bass boost, virtual surround, room correction, and loudness eq. in my opinion, they should all stay off. bass boost adds bass, but severely sacrifices clarity and vocals. virtual surround and room correction don't do much, and loudness eq raises and lowers volume depending on the song playing. it makes one song louder and clearer, then diminishes the next and muffles it. its very inconstant and as such should stay off. as for any questions regarding Shared and Exclusive Mode (in the advanced section of speaker and headphones property) read message 29 for answers.

 

Itunes setting

 

If you are like me, you use itunes to listen to music. Subsequently, it also has an eq. first, click on edit and select preferences, then playback. turn on sound enhancer, it helps slightly, and leave it in the middle. now the itunes eq can stay where it is. it does not enhance the music that much to really worry about it, but you can tweak it if you wish, just leave the markers close to 0db and adjust it by 1db or less. also be aware that itunes has a slight eq delay. Update* after using the itunes eq extensively, i just recomend you dont adjust it at all, using two eq's on your computer can lead to undesired effects and be a general headache as you have to adust one everytime you adust the other. also itunes eq just happens to suck so dont use it when you have the Beats Audio eq instead.

 

Final Thoughts

 

A good music setting does not necessarily make music louder. it makes it clearer, it brings out the vocals while helping all individual instruments shine, instead of clumping them together. when every instrument is heard, every vocal is prominent, bass is complimentary, and they all work together, you have achieved true music. the Beats Audio chip does enhance music as long as your willing to be patient enough to tweak it, and in my opinion, computers with the Beat Audio chip are an excellent advancement in music listening experience. also every question is sent directly to my email so i can respond in a timely manner, if you have a question, just ask.
