There's a whole bunch of presets available with helpful names such as
"reggae" and "classical". You can also save your own. To get at them just
put the focus on the graphic equaliser window and type "ctrl-S". Just typing
"S" gives you access to a menu where you can save and delete presets.

Curtis,
Thanks for the "Audiophile" explanation! Now, how does one translate that
to the graphic equalizer settings in Win Amp? I think that you were
describing an "S curve", rather than a "Bell curve", in your description of
lows to highs, weren't you? I wish I could find info on the nitty gritty of
this, because then I might be able to explain it to those who have never
seen the digital readout or "touched the sliders", on a manually operated
"G.E.", like the Radio Shack one I previously described! I will have to
experiment with the settings on the Win Amp g.e., which will be very
subjective, depending on the tune I am playing!
Thanks,
-Mac-

Equalizers, are for adjusting the sound to what you like, or, if the
sound is degraded and there are still remnants of sound available in
the low and high registers, you can bring them up to an acceptable
level compared to what sounds normal, again, for your ears. If you
believe the sound needs super bass, 20 to 40 Hz will be needed, (pipe
organ stuff), 40 Hz is the low E string on a bass guitar or bass
violin, about 30Hz is low C on a pipe or electric organ if the sound
is a sine wave, 16Hz is the low C on a 64 foot pipe on one of those
super pipe organs. Most Music is between 30Hz and 16Khz with
overtones of the flutes and trumpets which make the richness of the
sound in the higher ranges, though most people don't hear it as an
independent sound, just as richness or "air." Warmth, people
generally equate to sounds about 80Hz (for low male voices and some
announcers) but again, it is all quite subjective and that is why
there are ten equalizer controls along with the "pre amp" control,
which keeps you from overloading the inputs of your sound card with
particularly loud sounds so you can adjust all of them before they
get to the input so it won't overload your sound card before the
amplifier puts it to your speakers or headphones. So, curves,
generally people bring up the low end, (very low end) and leave the
mid ones alone, and bring up the high end, (very high end 2 bands)
because it conforms to what you might hear with the "loudness"
compensation available in most home receivers or stereo systems.
