shure e2's and e3's on rockbox

Arj:
OK, I guess I am dense.  I want to do what Saratoga suggested, but I can't figure out how to 'goto edit, and choose "insert track".'  Insert track is not an option in my Edit menu.  Do I need a certain plugin or a particular version of foobar?  I have v0.9.4.1.

Included are some Shure EQs, including for the E2C.  Of course, it all depends on your personal preference (I tend to keep things flat), but it's a way to start/experiment.

Nate!:
Arj:  I googled Foobar and Tone.  It came back with a Foobar Wikipedia page stating to use, "Add location.
 Â 
* File->Add Location or just Ctrl+U.  
* Type in the Tone://100.10 in the popup text box.  
* Hitting enter will put the Tone in the New Playlist tab.  
* Playing the tone will play a 100Hz tone for 10 seconds. (100.10)

Be careful when playing tones.  I forgot to turn the volume down, with my earphones in, when playing a much higher frequency and boy did that hurt.  :o

I haven't gone any further.  I suspect you will have to convert the "tracks" in the playlist to mp3 or whatever.  Save them in a playlist and copy the playlist/tracks to your player.  I'll try this after work today.

I don't know if all of that above is what you needed.  :D  Let me know.

Arj:
Nate:  thanks for the help.  That is what I needed.  I can create the tones now and am playing around with this.  Thanks!

Nate!:
**Edit** Read Febs post on EQ adjusting here: http://misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=36635&page=2  Fourth post from the top.  Haven't tried it, but good explanation.  And Dang, Febs, you dudes have been Rockboxing for a while!  :D

Cool.  I'm playing around too.  I have a cfg.  I use Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5Pros.  I had a pair of Shure E3cs, but left them on the plane along with my Rio Nitrus.  Of course that was a couple of years ago.  Now I have the UEs and my Gigabeat F60.

About the cfg:  
 Â  * I have Crossfeed enabled.  All Crossfeed settings are set to defaults.
 Â  * Everything else under the sound  settings menu is default, except of course the EQ.

The sound temperature is a little on the cool side. (I wanted to hear the trumpets pop and the high hat hiss.)  I love vocals and "hearing" them, so I tried to boost that range a little also.  The song I used to tune was, "I'd Like To" by Corinne Bailey Rae.  I hate putting her into a genre, but she has sort of Folk, Jazz, neo-soul kind of sound.

As you can see, EQ settings are entirely subjective and preferrential.

By The Way, reading the manual REALLY helped me with this.  Go figure.  ::)

Tell me what you think.  

Audiophiles, with these settings it seems the vocals are pushed back a little, as in sound staging.  Not sure how to bring them to the front.  Maybe something with Crossfeed?  Thanks in advanced for the advice.
