à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Perfectà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  iTunes equalizer setting

Is it just me or does that setting just make everything sound louder?

On thinking it over, I guess that might make it sound “better” since for many people, louder is better.

It will make everything sound like you are kicking a cardboard box with your foot and jangling your car keys with your hand. Horrid. That iTunes equalizer setting is ghastly.

I clicked on your link, but it didn't work. Then I copied and pasted the title into my google search engine. I had the page up, went to itunes, pulled up the equalizer, adjusted it and then synched my ipod. Will this do it? Hi Bootstar, thanks for the heads up. I clicked on your link, but it didn’t work.

Wow. Gorgeous. He records really well. I thought the wailing was OTT on the performance night but the recording was beautiful. I'm going to hold off on buying Kris' recording. I really liked the live version and may opt for that instead. Cheers! I gave in, and based on a few of the reviews here purchased Adam’s “If I can’t Have You.” Wow. Gorgeous. He records really well.

But it's jarring to go from the perfection of Falling Slowly to this week's track. I was probably being a little harsh, lol.

The studio isn't nearly as good. I'm sure I'll still listen to it though, because I didn't initially like the studio version of , "How Sweet It Is", but after listening to it with the other downloads I have on him, it's grown on me. Same with, "Do You Remember". I just simply love his voice, but acoustic Kris FTW! Yeah, I think I’m going to have to buy the performance vid for Kris. The studio isn’t nearly as good.

And I have to say I hate "Staying Alive", always had but he really made it his own and much more in the studio version. The song sound sso current and fresh and Matt's vocals are outstanding as usual. That speaks volumes of Matt's potential. Go Matty G! I still believe in you. I hope you make it much longer than people expect you too. I hope he has a moment next week and keeps on going. I bought Matt’s song and I love it.

And, as always, her vocals are awesome. I also love Kris' track. But I think I liked the live performance more. Nothing of his fault, though. Simply because I really loved the part in the live performance where everything except the bongos dropped out. They took that out in the studio performance and that makes me sad. :( Still love my Kris, though.

Kris's is nice but I think I like the live one better. Allison's is just amazing. Girl just has an incredible voice. I liked her live version too but I think the studio is better. It has the fire that the live version, good though it was, never seemed to quite get to consistently. I bought Kris’s and Allison’s this week. Kris’s is nice but I think I like the live one better.

I think it may be my new favorite. :wub_tb: I have all of his and 1 each of Allison, Danny, and Matt.

Pesonally, I find the recording fascinating. I like to listen to Smokey's vocal and Adam's vocal (with the exact same track) back to back.
