Thought I could find an EQ online that mimics the MegaBass setting but once I heard the individual instruments have more separation and clarity I knew it would’ve taken more than an EQ edit. I went with the UK Parlophone mastering because it’s the right speed and pitch as I remember from the '70’s.Įven after making these songs sound good in Audacity punching up the kick drum and brightening Gerry’s vocals a bit, playing the CDR of these edits through the Sony Discman MegaBass setting just made them sound even more massive, richer and detailed.

I found this out on EQ edited music files burned to CDR and played back on the Discmam’s headphone out port with MegaBass maxxed and recorded through my MacMini of Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” and “Right Down The Line” which are wildly different in mastering depending on US vs UK reissues. This topic wouldn’t qualify as an EQ curve submission because there are matrix like adjustments to stage imaging with these cheap thrift store Sony Discman Mega Bass settings I’ve been experimenting with as a workaround that has been worth the time to try out in order to give thin or soft sounding CD music a bigger than life presence.ĭepending on the style of music I’ve been able to bring out instrument detail like triangle tings that are tough to do according to how the overall song was mixed that places these frequencies too close to other high frequency detail that would become too harsh with a simple EQ tweak.
