As Robinez mentioned, it's almost never a great idea to boost every frequency.  Professional sound engineers tend to slightly cut certain frequencies most of the time.  Raising every frequency is just like turning up the volume.

It's his I'm using at the moment, sounds best to my ears.
It's great that there's some alternatives to try, something I've never been good at. I know whether or not I like the end result, but wouldn't have a clue how to achieve what I would like.

My opinion is that boosting all kind of bands isn't a real solution for a better sound. Those kind of eq settings are set by most people because people's perception is that a louder signal is a better signal.

That is great. Like it a lot. Thanks!

Robinez, I thank you profusely for these modified settings :)!

I use two Bose L1 Compacts and compared my original EQ Gold settings with your modified ones. They sound far more realistic and the bass really shines through. One small difference I made was to keep my original setting where the 32Hz frequency was. I changed that to 56Hz and added 4dB of gain. My Bose speakers have an F3 cutoff of 65Hz. I'm not sure what slope Bose applies to this high pass filter but when I added the 4dB boost at 56Hz, the bass was even more solid than before.

For larger shows, I add my sub. That will be my next test. I've always had a hard time getting decent, well-defined bass from my Genos. You just may have solved a major issue for me. Thanks!!
"Learn" your music correctly, then "practice" it. Don't practice mistakes because you'll learn them.

thanks, you are right, it's always wise to set the levels matching your own monitor setup.

these settings sound good with the subwoofer Yamaha DXS12  from (SUB AUX)

I tried Genos settings for EQ on my SX700. Sound is good. I don't know about that value of 400Hz... It's not the right place for that value... Maybe 4kHz

I suggest you watch this video for a better understanding of how EQ works. Include subtitles in English.

I love EQ Gold on Genos with GS01, but not on SX900 onboard speaker.

I tweak a new EQ which has fuller sound without fart the on board speaker when the master volume knod set at 2 o'clock.

EQ
100hz          6db
250hz   1.6  2db
450hz   1.6  2db
700hz   1.6  1db
1.6khz  1.6  1db
2.8khz  1.4  2db
5.6khz  1.4  3db
10khz         10db

Compressor
Comp    34
texture  77
output   54

Keyboard Initial touch
Hard 1

The keyboard play more control, better touch feeling and voice get better dynamic.

Thank you for sharing and it's nice to your taste @Totomo.
EQ-ing remain primarily a personal choice and depend on the circumstances. For some, the setting sounds beautiful, for others not yet perfect. Variables are for example: the age of the listener (the quality of the hearing), the room in which is played (Acoustics) and the dimensions of the room / hall, the surface on which the keyboard is placed (eg on a wooden desk or free-hanging ), the preset of customer styles or sounds etc. etc. And to make it even more subtle: the taste of the listener.

Nevertheless, EQ-ing is an important area of attention and the keyboard deserves the attention of the player. It is for good reason that this function is included in the keyboard. Use it well and the keyboard (or recorded song) will sound better if used properly.
My best regards,
Ton

Totomo I have to admit I just tried your CMP/EQ settings on the SX900 and I really like the sound.
Best I've heard so far using the onboard speakers.
Thank you for this I will be using it in the weeks to come for sure....good job.
To my ears the only change I made was lowing the Gain from +6 as suggested to +1...

Hi. Have had my SX900 for a few months and recorded some songs to USB. I feel like they have a slightly muddy sound. Not awful, but just feels like they could sound clearer. My music is dance / electro / pop and I generally applied either the "punchy" or "electronic" Compressor and the "powerful" or "bright" EQ as I don't know anything about the technical side of things and those sounded better than just keeping it on "flat" and "natural".

Would the settings suggested by users in this thread produce better results?

Also is the "output" option in the Compressor settings simply a volume adjust? Because songs recorded on the SX900 (and same when I recorded on previous models) to USB are noticeably quieter than commercially released music. Would increasing the Output have any negative effect on the recording? Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

please do not multi-post. One post per request is sufficient (either you post in an existing thread or you start a new thread).

I just answered you here:

● Everyone kept saying "That won't work!" - Then someone came along who didn't know that, and - just did it.
● Never put the Manual too far away: There's more in it than you think! ;-)

Yes I saw that sorry I just thought since both these topics haven't been read in a while I would try my luck in both but I will not multipost in the future
