Tone to bring up the Bass and Treble controls
and a parametric equalizer that lets you select the corner frequency where
the boost takes place. When operating the bass control, the user
can select 1 of 3 different frequencies for the bass boost, 50, 100, or
200 Hz. The 50 Hz setting will cause the bass boost to only effect
the lowest
frequencies, which is useful in a car with a big subwoofer. The
200 Hz boost range is useful for portable headphones. The treble
control functions in a similar manner. This feature is
the same as high-end preamps that provide a parametric equalizer (as
opposed to the graphic equalizer) for tone control.
To
play a song, when you're in AudioPlayer press the Play
button to begin playing the first song. The first thing you will
want to try is the hidden "waveform" plugin. While playing a song,
tap on the "S" in "SoundsGood" at the bottom of the screen to change the
bottom bar to a moving waveform; tap anywhere on the waveform to turn it
off. You can see a screenshot of the waveform in action during "Enter
Sandman." Yes, Lars, I own the CD.
Use
any of the screen icons or SoundsGood hardware buttons to change songs
and volume. All of the options I have mentioned are available on
the main AudioPlayer screen. Use the
up/down slider to adjust the Volume (you can use the wheel on the module
or the Visor's Up/Down buttons as well). The horizontal slider can
be used to skip to a particular point of a song.
Music sounds great with the SoundsGood. I listened to the included
songs and a few of my own, and songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" had no distortion
during its a cappella portions. The SoundsGood didn't sound any better/worse
to me when compared to the MiniJam .
I didn't like the earbud headphones that came with the SoundsGood, though.
They seemed too big and hurt my ears when I used them. A "fuzzy"
cover would help these headphones. This is a personal preference,
so you may like the headphones more.Hardware buttons >>
