The Vortex - audio equalizer test!

[@BjorkensteinvanJurgenheim]

Every time I buy a new pair of IEMs I come back here Currently testing the Truthear Hexas and they pass The Vortex test with flying colours. Thank you for uploading this.

DUDE! Thanks for this. Checking my headset quality has never been so satisfying.

[@mamacrow2759]

This was super good for testing EQ, but the song was great too!

[@michalzinz7174]

Hey man just pulled this up to test my new headset and this is a dope track man!

[@pacboygamer6728]

here i am thinking I'm not good at hearing eq. all i needed was a good song.

[@TheCamvret]

The problem is, I don't know how supposed it sounds 😂

[@tomryan943]

Freaky! I couldn't make out any music until I plugged my headphones into the device! I guess my headphones are working well! Thanks.

[@tails1010]

Bro if only I could give more likes. Love it.

[@MultiSciGeek]

I can hear what's missing, the problem is I don't know how to move the sliders to get the sound I want

[@brakerotor1713]

Imo put it all flat then see which part it sets

[@MultiSciGeek]

@@brakerotor1713 But getting that perfect mix with many many frequencies tho... I'm also starting to doubt if the headphones or cable or drivers cannot play the sound I'm looking for

[@petergriffin8086]

usually the further left you go the more bass it adds the further right you go the more the opposite, melodies usually sit near the middle to the right a bit, and things like tsss noises and hi hats sit on the right end. you might have to make one element quieter to make others stand out more

[@Jayson_Tatum]

Think of a standard equalizer as three main 'sliders' - Bass, Mid-tone, and Treble. Each on a scale of -10 to +10 with zero being no change at all. Each genre has a general mix in its production style that promotes the genre of music. So songs like this, pop, hip-hop, rap, EDM, synthetic, etc would all typically run more bass, a little more treble, and slightly lowered mid-tones, to get the most out of that style of music. Whereas something like classical, rock, or metal would mix best with lower bass, relatively neutral mids, and increased treble. More advanced EQs will give more sliders, usually one for each decibel frequency. Bass freqs are lower decibel, usually to the left, while higher pitched or treble is to the right and i higher frequency number (decibels). For this song in particular, being synthy, try setting your equalizer to +50% Bass, -10% Mid-tone, and +30% Treble and see how it sounds. Different EQs have different levels of complexity, so just adjust it in a way that reflects those numbers best. How to know if it sounds "good"? If there's too much bass, it'll sound like the song is basically drowning in deep water. It'll cover up all of the brighter sounds. If there's too much mid-tone, it may make vocals too loud, or melodies take over the bass and percussion. Too much treble will sound too bright and sharp, hearing all the ticks and clicks too clearly, and make it sound flat and lose its depth. The best thing for beginners is usually just find default EQs for their genre of music, and adjust it from there. Hopefully this helps out.

this is underrated

[@KeimpeJ]

Overrated it does not work. When you change the sound all the time. You cannot fix your Equalizer. . This is simple.

[@nickk1524]

what exactly am i supose to listen out for i in this video?

[@cris.pbacon4162]

There are settings for audio known as an equalizer, I'm not sure what everything is called but I know a bit. So imagine a graph, and each line on the graph can be change, and each line across the bottom is used for a certain range of audio, such as high, mid, and bass. (Which are known as Hertz) On the left side of of the graph you have the decibels or dB which can go from 10dB to -10dB. The decibels can change how loud or quiet you want the bass, mid, and high ranges of audio are. (Not all Equalizers are the same but I explained it how it looks like on mine) Some music artists who are starting to do audio mixing use an equalizer to change audio during a concert, for music producing, or whenever for fun. This video is used to help those who are trying to practice audio mixing. Or whatever lol

[@pacboygamer6728]

@@nickk1524 if you have a eq softwear to use like dolby then maybe give it a crack. if not then you don't have to worry about it. more for us wanting the most out of our headsets.

NICE! I tuned my new budget headphones to this and it worked perfect! And if you haven't tried them the Monoprice Retro's are kicking the shit out of my $400 headphones! Good song, thanks!!!

@@ishaanam I really like the ZSN's! If you want a more balanced sound you could boost the mids a bit around 700hz or so.

@@ishaanam do you use Equalizer APO? If you want I could send you a picture with my eq settings.

@@ishaanam I've boosted 965Hz by 6.6dB, but I've also cut a few frequencies quite agressively. I recommend looking at the picture in this link: drive.google.com/file/d/1vHCzNuxt2bYCanOKJmREEl20RIY9Pakm/view?usp=sharing
