the ideal settings to listen to trance is perhaps ,Treble = max,Bass = max ,middle = max

in case of ur player , keep tweaking till u like what u hear

soft or natural would appear to be the closest to reality.

instead of messing up your hearing by messing around with EQ settings get some real earbuds or headphones!
( Something like Shure E2C's cost around 80 bucks and they isolate so well that you can run them real low and hear perfectly ).

live or techno... the best ones...

either flat or the disco smile.

Well, I use Dance or Electronic on my ipod.

Jazz will usually give good boost to the bass while reducing the mid where the vocals are found and a small bost to the treble.

on winamp i have it turned off for trance/techno/house but have the techno preset for rock

omg! the labels managers pay a professional sound engineer to make a perfect mastering and you waste all his work in 2 clicks.

Omg and a song is definetly not gonna sound different on some cheap pc speakers running through a shitty soundcard after it has been encoded into 128kbps mp3.

Don't bother using it, conserve battery life

Posted by Googooly on Aug-14-2005 20:18:

Rock is the best when it comes to boomboxes. Not sure about an MP3 player.

I've got a Creative Zen Micro 5 GB and I really love the New Age genre on it. Fresh sound.

Posted by noikeee on Aug-14-2005 22:59:

go for flat unless you feel the sound of your headphones needs some adjustment

Posted by DjArTiN! on Aug-15-2005 00:50:

I usually choose Rock cuz it's the loudest

Posted by ZuLi on Aug-15-2005 01:12:

rock is always the best

Posted by NYTranceScene on Aug-15-2005 01:28:

I'd choose Natural or Flat

There is no best setting.
Experiment with the EQ's on your mp3-player. I don't think most mp-3 players have graphic eq's. What you're talking about are specifically presets. If you do have GEQ on your player, keep tweaking until you are satisfied with a certain setting.
