So I've come up with another one of my harebrained ideas that, as many crappy movies have said, is so crazy it *just might work.* The last time was long ago, but it got a mention by Dragon, so I'm proud. (See https://homerecording.com/burn_cds.html)
Anyway, I'm not so wonderful at EQing, but when I finish mixing my track to wavs, I sometimes listen to them in Winamp, like I listen to other music. Winamp has an EQ feature with various presets or you can do it however you like. I noticed that some of my songs sounded better through Winamp's EQ, and thought, "Well I want everybody to hear it that way." So I just got it to sound good (you can mess with it on the fly instead of waiting for some program to process the sound) and then played it back with a plugin that, instead of sending the sound out the speakers, writes it to a new wav file. (Nullsoft Disk Writer is how it's listed in my plugins list.)
Presto, the new file sounds like the old one plus the EQing I did in Winamp.
Now, I don't have studio monitors, so doing this probably won't make my music sound good on OTHER people's systems, but if you do have studio monitors, yet you're still as doofless as me when it comes to expertise, perhaps this will work for you.
Comments? Accolades? Spontaneous gifts of love?
