    Equalizing software?

    I spent a minute or two searching, couldn't find anything on this though, so if it's there, please point me in the right direction. I have a decent computer, didn't build it myself, it's a Gateway 610xl. Anyway, I'm looking at building a couple 2-way bookshelf speakers to play music from it. I'll use the computer's outputs to an amp, through a crossover, to the speakers. Anyway, my question is about software. Is there any software to adjust the signal as it leaves my computer, to equalize out any frequency bumps or curves? It seems like this should be possible. Thanks for the help.

    Winamp has an equalizer - useful if you are playing back MP3's
    You might also look at a few sound card manufacturers to see if the soundcard supports an eq curve that gets imposed on all sound sources
    try http://www.soundblaster.com

      Most sound applications have graphic equalizers at 1 octave settings or so (WMP, SoundBlaster, etc). The problems is graphic equalizers can only adjust certain frequencies and each frequency adjustment has a finite bandwidth. Most of the time, the frequencies that cause problems in our listening rooms are not the same ones the graphic equalizers can adjust. Even if they were, the inability to change the bandwidth of the adjustment (i.e. only adjust 57-62 Hz instead of 50-70Hz) creates more problems than it solves.

      I think what you are looking for is a PC based parametric EQ, which I do not think exists.

          Equalizers
          by toledoguy
          My question is: are equalizers really used any more. I remember my father's top of the line system in the late 1970's early 1980's. He had an equalizer that he painstakingly set. I couldn't adjust the equalizer under penalty of death or something far worse. I haven't really noticed equlizers being...

          What software to use to tune?
          by riceaterslc
          I have been trying to figure out the volume/port needed for my sonotube project. I cannot figure out how to adjust the tuning frequency using either WinISD or the carstereo.com box software. Do either of these have the ability to adjust the tuning frequency or do I need to find something else? Thanks...

          Graphic Equalizer Connection to RSP-1582 for Phono
          by frank1203
          Hi, I was trying to run my turntable / Phono through an older analog graphic equalizer from my RSP-1582 and it won't equlaize the sound. I realize the RSP has a Phono Pre-Amp built into it but I would think I should still be able to equalize the sound coming out of the phono. I think I made the proper...

          Problems with Harmony Software?
          by Hdale85
          So I was trying to resetup my Harmony One as I've been needing to do it a while (changed a lot of devices). I was trying to adjust which device I change the volume on but I cannot seem to find a setting for it at all in version 7.6.0.8. I'm not sure what I'm missing here but I've gone through every...
