Better sound wanted.

I'm using my laptop and listening to online music.

I also play music from my hard drive.

I run through a basic amp and a quite reasonable pair of speakers.

 

My question is................can I use any sort of 'equiliser/proscessor(sp)' software before the sound comes out of my l/top?

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

ps.

The highs are good mids average but bass needs more thump.;)

onboard sound sucks

Edited by chesters1

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Cheers Dave, didn't think of that idea.

 

Just put a bid on a similar type of device but cheaper on Ebay.

 

External sound card so gotta be better than to onboard one.

 

Comes with a good s/ware package too, be able to get all my vinyl on to mp3. :)

 

This is an external soundcard?

 

(sorry, just realised this is for a notebook)

 

 

Howard, I'm using the laptop in doors as static anyhow so external card is surfice.

Post your link again.

Cheers.

Have you tried a Gramaphone Ferret, the sort that has a windup handle on the side.

No power point needed. :thumbs:

 

All these modern gadgets, and here you have the power free option to play all your vinyls. Your Vera Lynns will sound more authentic, and your friends on the river banks, would appreciate with you, your taste in music.

 

A few years back a well known comedian played Des O'conner vinyls and the fish were jumping onto the river banks. ;)

 

I hope my tip helps you, in your search for the perfect reproductional musical sounds. :whistling:

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

Onboard sound sucks.

USB Sound not much better.

For music, Creative products not brilliant, but that just my opinion.

 

These get a good write up, not sure if you can buy thewm over here yet.

http://www.xitel.com/product_hfl.htm (Yeah I know it's USB, but gets some good reviews) Go google.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.
