Many people wish to modify their music to make a song more bassy or tone down its harsh treble. This article will explain to you step-by-step (with screenshots) how to bass-boost your songs on iTunes using iTunes' built-in equalizer.

2. In the "Equalizer" window, look for the "Bass Booster" option.
   

3. Click the "Bass Booster" option or select any other effect you want (treble boost, bass-boost, treble reducer, etc.)
