        Mastering engineers are responsible for the loudness war so they obviously don't give a shit about quality.

        is it possible to calibrate eq to a particular speaker without special equipment? is there maybe an app or something?

          listen to this

          and adjust the eq until there are no loud or quiet parts.
          To do that effectively you need a Parametric EQ like Equalizer APO.

      i have THX-certified speakers and they have very weak highs so it's necessary to boost them a tad for shit to sound normal

      These types of eq are annoying.
      You can't fix your speaker frequency response with them and you need to adjust multiple sliders at once if you want to change bass or treble on a per song basis.

        >per song
        at this point just get protools and re-eq all your tracks.
        but no-one would do that cause who gives a fuck

          Changing the EQ only takes a second with my PMP. It's the same as changing the volume.

          both are fucking horrible. stop using random targets and develop your own that takes your HRTF into account. At least use his 2023 target if you want to be lazy

      get with the times grandpa

      his 2023 target is dark af. i dont use eq anyway

      it's based on a flawed extrapolation of his preferred -0.8db tilt of 5128 diffuse field. with IEMs you don't have to spend a lot of money to get newer stuff that has been measured on 5128 and can be autoEQ'd with good accuracy and you can adjust the settings to your preferences. here's anon's suggestion:
      >I'm also tried to find which slope closest thing to Harman 2018 oe and its -0.4db — -0.5db slope with same Harman OE 5db boost. For iems you may like to use 8 or 10db bass boost
      >I think it can be much closer to real Harman 5128 tuning than -1db slope or stock df. At least because there is no such large hump in the lower mids and brightness is controlled. And ofc because it's close to Harman 2018 oe which really sounds not bad compared to 2019 ie
      remember to also apply manual EQ to cancel out your ear canal resonance peak from listening to sine sweeps and tone generators. the tinnitus frequency is most common around 8kHz which might have to do with the resonance being somewhere between 6-10kHz.

      bro it's epic hi-fi sound, you will know it when you hear it. you will unlock a whole other level of enjoyment and be able to truly enjoy listening to music from almost any genre, even old boomer music. even seemingly small details like the coo-koo at 2:10-2:24 are mindblowing to hear crystal clear at least when you're ESL and never paid much attention to the lyrics or the music video before (they are making fun of retarded people in a funny way, coo-koo as in crazy)

    Harman target is a meme.
    Make your speakers sound flat and then use the bass and treble controls depending on the content.
    Most music will need the good old smiley setting because of loudness war mixing, but movies need a frowney.

    Harman over-ear 2018 target, plus ISO 226:2003 based loudness curve (with sub bass cut to prevent distortion on dynamic driver headphones) to simulate tonal balance of a louder listening level:

    And if you're using software, parametric EQ gives you more control for the CPU power used than graphic EQ.
