Audio Booster - EQUALIZER (Help + Advice)

Hello guys i have question about the Audio Booster and i need some help from some Music expert or someone who know the settings!
Im using often my Blackstone to listen music and the Audio Booster is good app for me!
Also im using the default Music player because for me he play good the songs !
But i don`t like all the presets from the Audio Booster so i wana make my Custum Preset but the problem is that i don`t understand from Music equalizer alot and i dont know the settings so can anyone give me example about the equalizer i listen mostly Progressive House Music and i want the music to sound cool and clear if have vocals they to be cool and on the same time the beat to be clear and cool too!
If someone help me with this will be awsome
Thanks to all!
you just can send me an screen shoot with some Equalizer settings to try what will be best for my kind of music!
Thanks in advance!

flick through all of the presets, find one which sounds best and then, tweak each controller a bit up and a bit down, and see what sounds best. repeat this until youve done it for all of the controllers.
thats how i did it

[Q] Bass Control/Adjustment for X1

I have been using my Xperia X1 for the last few months, with no problems at all. It is running the 'SEX1' 6.5 ROM (downloaded from here).
I am trying to use the phone as an MP3 player with my headphones. I quite like the default Media Player (using Panels), however the Bass is non-existent. Is there any way I can edit the Registry, or load an 'Audio Manager' as a Cab file?
I have read a couple of posts here, I tried 'CorePlayer' (paid for it & all!) but couldn't get the graphics adjusted how I wanted. I have tried to download 'SRS Wow HD' but kept getting an error message.
All I want is a simple 'Bass Adjustment'. Does anyone have any suggestions?

you could try find a cab for HTC's Audio Booster, or you could find a ROM with it pre-installed, but if you want panels, then you'd probably be better off with a CAB

Solved!! Thank you!
Thanks Johnny4911, I downloaded the HTC Cab, it has made a huge difference. I can adjust all of the graphics and still use the Media Player on the Panels.
I appreciate your advice, simple and effective.
Cheers, Paul.

so, dyou mean, you use Audio Booster ?
I use 862x series ROM. It has pre installed audio booster, but it makes my X1 slower. so, i plan to change ROM with SEX1

Try SRS which I attached.
It works with all roms I had on my Xperia X1, there is an option TruBass which gets a huge amount of bass Also you should try an app called "PocketMusic" which has x-bass option. That combination should satisfied you
Sorry for my english.

Best music & Video player app till samsung galaxy S?

Can anyone advise me on some of the best music & video player app one can use instead of the stock versions? If you consider design of the player apps and it's functions. Thank you. BTW, the stock player does not have a STOP button. Now that is lame.

Best video player I've used by far is Act 1 - my review here: http://www.theandroidappreviewer.com/app-reviews/act-1-video-player-app-review/

It's only recent, but Lithium is by far the best player I've used.
The interface is very professional with great gestural control, 4 widget sizes, automatic album art downloader, custom playlists, replacement lockscreen when music is playing, etc.
But I like it best for the interface. =)

Yeah I had a word with the dev and he said that he may come up with a paypal version but he does not want to right now 'coz of licensing issues.
He said and I quote.
Regarding Paypal, I didn't yet create an account. But then you need to manage the release of updates (need a license key etc). Which might require quite some DEV.
But will think about it in the long term.
Thks again for the support.
Rgds,

mVideoPlayer for movies/videos
Music Player Pro for Music
Music Mod for Music widget

There is no player that does PROPER gapless playback for mp3...
Even .ogg and .flac files all produce a statick click when the next track begins. Is this a 'feature' of the Galaxy in general?

I totally agree!! I love Lithium. I'm trying this new one now called "ttpod" which downloads lyrics and lets you display them over top of all apps. Get a copy and turn off karoke mode if the lyrics over top annoy you . Best movie player I would say is mVideoplayer . I just havn't found anything else like it (paid or otherwise)

Have you tried Lithium ? settings for it but I really couldn't care about gapless play

I've just tried mvideoplayer without success, but I still can't seem to find a (free) video player that will play (or even acknowledge) my .mpg videos!
I'm not interested in subtitles or any other format apart from .mpg
Any suggestions?

Maybe winamp or realplayer?

For audio either winamp or power amp for video its either the stock player from SGS or mVideo player, I didnt include rockplayer on the list as it has issues with a lo of my HD anime files.

Did you actually read my question EarlZ ?

The best music player has to be powerAMP. And the best video player is in my opinion the stock player, it's slick and clean and plays many kind of videofiles flawlessly like MKV.

Personally I think the stock music player is great. Equaliser, effects, and the disc view is pretty cool. As well as controls on the lockscreen (only when using glass lock) and app drawer.
Have yet to see a 3rd party one that makes me want to switch.
For video mVideoPlayer is my favourite. It lacks the 5.1 sound option from the stock player though.

I have yet to find a music player that can sort by album artist (not artist) and provides an output selection of bluetooth or phone.
Really frustrating that such basic features don't exist.

How to enable beats on poweramp player.

Hi all, im listen allot to FLAC music, and as you know the built in music app doest support this format, so i downloaded poweramp from google play and the sound was bad, so i search in the app how to improve the sound and i found an option to enable the beats audio,
Open the app, go to settings>audio engine>advanced tweaks> and unselect "direct volume control" and listen again
P.s sorry about my poor english, i really hope you all understand me.

The built in music app in fact does support FLAC since android 4.0

Why would you use Beats if you're a music enthousiast listening to FLACs?

You found the comprehensive eq in PowerAmp I take it? Always been able to get a decent sound tuned to the headphones I'm using. Beats is just a bass boost from the eighties.
Make sure you don't have the eq AND the tone controls (bass and treble) enabled, else they'll conflict. Chose one or other.

Not sure about the OP, but on my device, Beats and PowerAmp, work right out of the box. The actual setting is only visible when you have a pair of headphones plugged in, then go to Sounds --> Sound Enhancer to select Beats

WOrks samee for me here, too. Can I ask fellow PowerAmp users whether they have sudden dips and peaks in volume when browsing the phone and opening apps? Could you tell me if any advance tweaks you have, buffer size etc?
Thanks

The beats logo is showed from the box, but the sound isn't

Thank you so much for find this and share with us. I loved Beats with the urBeats but now I can have both and PowerAmp with Beats. What a fantastic phone we have . Even the ICS Lockscreen feature does display Album Art on the HTC Lockscreen.

Hey thanks , that correct , now when I turn beats icon on/off can fill more baSS in sound, before this trick was no reaction.

Hmm, haven't noticed that, but in general the handling of notifications is very bad with PowerAmp!
Also, the fading function does not work anymore on One X. I posted about this in their forum and they said it is being looked at and will be fixed in the next update, whenever that is... :-/

I only enable Beats Profile when I need to dislodge ear wax. Otherwise I like being able to make out the words being sung.

Funny you mention this. I started noticing this after upgrading to 1.28
Also, the sudden pause/gap when listening to songs is also there; whether the next song starts (crossfading) or you fast-forward a song.
I think PowerAmp has not been optimized for the HTC One X yet. I hope the team is working on it. I love PowerAmp!

I like that as well. When you select ICS Lockscreen in PowerAmp, it uses the actual HTC music widget on your lockscreen, that is very cool.

I've just noticed that if you change the thread priority to +1 , the dips in volume seem to go away. It's good that they are looking into optimizations tho

FLAC, lossless audio with no drop in quality, used by audiophiles to obtain music in exactly the same sound/quality of the original.
Beats Audio - DSP EQ tuner software to alter the sound of the music, like using a crap DSP effect/EQ on a pc soundcard or ancient 1980's midi system
the 2 don't go together, you may as well use mp3 and save on storage space

doesn't matter, let's music
I love to go to my company with playing music by 1X in my pocket. The quality of lossless music is acceptable
P/s : I'm using Pk2 earphone, not beat

I don't think this is quite accurate, and furthermore do not understand the hate for Beats. I am not a fan by any means, but I really dislike it when people bash something because they read it elsewhere or someone else told them about it.
I am not saying that you are that person, Zombiefly
Reminds me of Windows Vista and people's perpetual dislike for the OS strictly from word of mouth when a lot of the bugs were squashed with SP1 (and subsequent SPs) ... but I digress
If some people like it, let them be. It just seems that every time someone expresses a certain preference for Beats or just ask a question about Beats in general, a lot of people jump on the hate bandwagon while not addressing anyone's questions; worse they say they prefer DSP Manager.
The irony here is that NONE OF THAT MATTERS if these so-called 'purists' are using Poweramp with the DVC option ticked on LOL; they're not even using Beats except for the notification icon haha.
Apologies for the rant - again, it has nothing to do with you specifically Zombiefly, just wanted to get that off my chest.

Errr, I might be being stupid here but where in Poweramp is the Sounds option?! I see the BeatAudio icon at the top when I plug headphones in and play music in Poweramp but turning Beats off or on in the notification bar makes no difference.
I cannot find an option for Beats anywhere in the Poweramp settings.
Thanks.

Beats audio is a system feature not Poweramp. you can toggle it on/off from notification bar

You have to click on 'Settings'
If you have the default three dots button (tap on that)
Click on Settings
Click on Audio Engine
Click on Advanced Tweaks
Disable Volume Control

[Q] M8 native Music App & Gallery

Hello everyone, i'm about to buy a HTC one M8.
I'm an assumed audiophile and i have some questions about the M8 stock music player.
Visually it is gorgeous, however i heard it doesn't have an equalizer, is that true?!
Another thing, it displays the embed music's artwort or the ".Folder" file? Also, it reads music on SD card?
And, the stock gallery app plays animated .gifs like Samsung's or Quickpic?
Thanks in advance. :good:

Bump, i really need to know.

No equalizer, but plays many formats, most audiophiles use poweramp anyway but the stock htc player has a more convenient ui so its personal preference, I find myself not needing an eq, if you want both, use v4a which will give you a system wide eq then you can use this in conjunction with the htc music app. Shows album art in jpg form (png tends not to show) or embedded in music file. No gif support. Reads off sd fine. Otherwise, the m8 has really great headphone out and pretty much sounds like a good dac paired with a fiio e6 in both power (a lot!), signature (lush, detailed but generally a tad on the warmer side, flash project era for much improved clarity and more balanced sound) and hiss (unfortunately not a black noise floor but still really low, noticeable on se535 but no ie800, again improved with project era).
