Logic 7

SROC3 · 01-11-2007, 04:49 PM

So I wanted to post this as a "Sticky" but for the life of me I could not seem to figure out how to do it. Anyway, after fiddling with the eq settings for some time now, I have come up with fairly good "imaging" settings. Let me know what you think after trying it and if you have even better suggestions!!!! I figure the next best thing to driving a Bavarian Motorwerks creation is to drive enveloped in the best sound possible.

The following are settings I have currently are all positive settings (to the "right-of-center" when adjusting the parameters on the radio - I have no I-drive):

80 - 4 bars
200 - 6 bars
500 - 7 bars
1K - 6 bars
2K - 5 bars
5K - 5 bars
10K - 3 bars

Bass - 2 (to the right)
Treble - 5 (to the right)

w/ the "fader" set one bar to the rear.

seemingly funny curve if you drew it out, but it works best with all kinds of music I find. Better than Flat.

But please, any suggestions would be fantastic!!!!! Oh, and if anyone wants to turn this into a sticky, feel free to copy and paste.

I'll give this a shot for sure, I've left it flat since getting the car, didn't feel the need to tamper with it but this is worth a shot.

What about the basic bass and treble settings, did you leave those as default on the middle?

All I have to say is that Logic 7 is f*cking amazing!!

Definitely do not leave the eq flat!

The high notes are so crisp I still can't get over it. The bass pounds, and I sometimes have to soften it, or just turn the thing down altogether. I've left the car with buzzing in my ears from cranking it. I wish I could take it into the gym for my workouts!

Hard to say what "optimal eq settings" would be because style of music and personal taste will dictate.

That's interesting sroc, you have one peak between the low and mid range, and not much high notes in there.

For all forms of dance/hi-nrg/house/hip-hop music, which is what I listen to mostly, I prefer 3 peaks - at low, mid and high. IMO, you definitely want mid and high to bring out the spectrum, and then it's as much bass as you can handle. Of course, this is just my l'il opinion, and it ain't gonna work with Manilow

Since the L7 is so freaking powerful, I don't peak the low end as much on this system. My settings are as follows:

80: +5 bars
200: +4 bars
500: +3 bars
1K: +7 bars
2K: +3 bars
5K: +5 bars
10K: +8 bars

Bass: +4 ish
Treble: +7 ish
Fader: -5 (to the rear)

So far so good on my L7, but I've never had so many bars to work with so I should mix it up a bit. I'm on music mode, but still playing with that and cinema. No Idrive.

My buddies are luvin this system, they freak when I crank it :rocks:

H

Edit: Modified number format above for clarity. Music mode sounds better than cinema, overall. IMO.

I don't have Logic 7 but how is a standard curvy V shaped EQ? (Like the rock setting in iTunes if you want pix)

s4iscool · 01-11-2007, 10:05 PM

The logic7 is bmw's best, but lacks in low freq bass. Im not talking about ghetto bass...but low freq fill. I still like it though.

Don't leave it flat!!! I did first the first couple of months, and I couldn't believe how it came alive when I finally did play with it.

I've been reluctant, my Pioneer system took me 3 years to finally tweak between the indash settings and the amp itself! But I certainly wouldn't mind trying out other people's suggestions

Bump. Time for a sticky.

Treble - 5
Bass - 2

Someone Kindly Sticky this after this post. I have no idea how to do it. Feel free to copy paste.

rrandyy · 01-16-2007, 12:48 AM

If there was a single setting that was "best", then it wouldnt be configurable--now would it?

Set the Logic 7 system to OFF for this type of music.

What do you set the surround sound to? Standard, Concert Hall, or Theater?
