Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes calculating percentile values for normalized gains in each of a plurality of equalizer bands, wherein the normalized gains are based on statistical norms for a distribution of gain values for each band of the plurality of equalizer bands. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving a user input adjusting a gain value for at least one band of the plurality of equalizer bands, wherein the user input is received from a graphical user interface showing adjustment values as the percentile values. The computer implemented method also includes adjusting an audio output of an audio playback device based on the received user input and causing the audio playback device to play the adjusted audio output.
