Best equalizer app? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The title says so... Any recommends?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA CM7.1.0 FINAL

Are you looking for an overall one, or just one with playing music? I love the equalizer built into PowerAMP (I mainly use it for an audio gain), and I also use DSP manager, but only to boost vocals from my phone speaker. Other than those two, I don't use anything else.

Best EQ settings?

Hello,
I'm wondering what EQ settings are best for all types of music.?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Use your ears. Some people like to have a lot of bass, and some like to have small amounts or even none. Plug your headphones in and adjust it until you like how it sounds on different songs and genres.
I don't use EQ. Makes my life simple. The settings in Voodoo control is enough for my ears.

The ones picked by the recording engineer during the tracking session.
I prefer a flat EQ a well, but that is because I want to hear the track how the artists/engineers intend. I have ultimate ears triple fi 10 in-ears and they sound amazing. But it takes some getting used to the sound since most people are not used to hearing super clear mids and highs

Save up for decent equipment and use no EQ at all. DSP effects ruin sound fidelity. As mentioned above, get used to listening to music the way it was intended by the artists and sound engineers that recorded it.
And here I was staying on Cm7 just for the DSP manager

I add bass, lots of it, but maybe I should stop using DSP
also Alan, DSP can be had on any ROM I'm on touchwiz ATM
(If you download Root toolbox you can find it in the 'other ' section then flash it)

The bass seeing in power amp with the preamp turned up

[Q]Audio quality on GT-P1000?

Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new to this device since i have swapped it two days ago so I would like a question about audio quality.
With the stock rom I had pre-installed the audio quality was samsung standard: not good but at least audible.
I moved to another rom (Overcome 7 v 4.1.0) which kernel supports voodoo sound.
I was really shoked when i listened to a song for the first time: bass and mid-ranges were just fine as voodoo makes them while highest pitches (and voice too) seems like playing miles away from me: they get all muffled whitout any apprent reason!
I double checked it wasn't a problem of my headset plugging them into my galaxy s and listening to the same song flawlessly.
Did anybody experienced this problem too?
Install DSPManager and set the equalizer to your liking.

True, much better with that.
Speakers volume
I have the same Tab with Overcome 4.1.0. It is a low volume level of speakers for making or recieving calls. Do you know what a problem is?

LOL, that isn't a solution!
Audio should be clear before applying any other effects (dsp or equalizing).
Btw I finally got the solution: it was all fault of Samsung's crappy headset!
I replaced with another set from another brand and it all works like a charm now!
Mods, you can close this thread.

Yea it does. I've tried pretty much everything (acid audio, king beats, beats louder) and in my opinion, the combo in pimp my ROM is the best. I do the bravia engine2, pimp my beats, and xloud clear audio
I've been using Awesome Beats by ...Awesome... setup is tricky at first but the customization is amazing. Using BT with Jbl On Tour and beats ear buds. Pandora, Walkman, Google Music, SiriusXM all sound amazing. Just gotta pay $4 and you get updates as he rolls then out.

I beg to differ, I know for a fact the x-loud mod modifies audio lib files for louder and better sounding music and notifications, it also has various other modifications to unleash the quality of music while impacting battery life ever so slightly.

Agreed.. You can add all the new libraries etc all you want because in the end what really matters is the DAC and if the DAC sucks, so will your audio quality and the Tegra DAC is awful.. But what do you want for a $250 tablet. ?
For my car I use my Nexus 7 and use my headunits EQ for dealing with the bad tegra DAC
For a walkman I use my Nexus S because it has a wolfson DAC and it's absolutely incredible and no EQ needed as it actually makes it worse
For home audio (when not playing through my PC) I use my Nexus 10 which also has a wolfson DAC and is incredible and no EQ needed as it actually makes it worse.

AwesomeBEATS has 3 dynamic compression settings, 3 levels of beats boost and room size adjustments along with beats eq settings, and they are all fully functional. His install also includes his v5 install that allows all system sounds to be tweaked to your liking. No, not just equalizers.

That looks similar to dsp manager from cm, a little TOO similar....
Looks like BS to me, like most of these sound mods going around, ESPECIALLY ones that use beats to market themselves.
Beats is Sh*t.
Edit: just had a quick look there and it's plain to see that this beats whatever is a blatant rip off of dsp manager.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Best audio you can get from an N7 is not to use it for serious audio purposes. Use something else if you're serious about sound. It will never be good, no matter what mod or headphones.
Dang someone's critical. It's not the same lib files check out how many modified dsp managers you can find and get back to me. I just appreciate that it works as promised.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I use the Fiio E11 coupled with a pair of Audio Technica m50s for hardware, and Neutron for my player. While they are right about the Nexus 7 not being able to create audiophile level quality sound, my ears enjoy this setup. YMMV
I like the nexus 7 sound. Use poweramp, a great set of wesc cans, and use FLAC files for all my tunes. Can`t complain at all.

If you really want quality sound w/headphones, otg cable to external DAC is the way to go! Need to be rooted and have the poitee, trinity 7 or Timur's Kernel. Much better with a decent DAC than any equalization or software mod. I'm listening to Joe Lovano's latest album right now on my Shure SHR-940's ->FiiO e10-> USB otg -> N7. Sounds really good.

[MOD] ViPER4Android Audio Effects

EDIT: I am not affiliated with this MOD at all, I'm simply spreading the word.
Alright, forget AwesomeBEATS, AC!D Soundmod and DSP Manager. I've been trying this out for a few weeks now, with incredible results. I have tested this on both Borked ROM and PACman, and works flawlessly on both so it should work on all ROMs available for our Vivid. The only bug I have noticed is the separate bluetooth settings don't seem to make a difference, it just uses the Headset settings. Here are the settings I've found with the best sound for me so far, it will make your ears happy.
V4A-FX Powered On- CHECKED
PlaybackAGC- Unchecked
FIR Equalizer- CHECKED- I use Vocal Booster
Convolver- CHECKED- srs_2_1_normal+headset.irs
Field Surround- CHECKED- Both set to Moderate
Reverberation- Unchecked
Dynamic System- CHECKED- I have Denon headphones so I select High-End, sometimes Extreme. I can tell a difference between the two.
Tube Simulator- CHECKED
Just read through the thread and you'll find the .irs files and what to do with them. Installation is super easy and makes a huge difference.

For our Vivid, choose A8Cortex with Neon when it does the initial driver setup.
If you have TitaniumBackup or can otherwise completely remove DSP Manager, I highly recommend this as to avoid conflicting settings.
thank you it works! my cm10 flashed vivid is so much louder and clear thanks again
I also want to point out my edit, if you can remove DSP manager from the system I recommend doing so, as its settings will conflict and deteriorate Viper's.
I'm glad you said something cus I deleted dsp manager and I'm using viper and I was gunna reflash the dsp manager since I think there's to much bass and music is a bid distorted.

I had already deleted DSP Manager with TiBU, loving Viper. My Vivid sounds like a high-end stereo now.

It really does turn your phone into a high-end preamp/mixer, the audio profiles you can create with a little tweaking are amazing. This is one of the best setups I've found so far, for my headphones and the cassette adapter in my car-
Headset-
Master Power- On
Playback Gain- Off
FIR Equalizer- On- Vocal Booster
Convolver- On- IRS I use is samsung_i9300_soundalive_11_virtualchannel7.1.irs
Field Surround- Off
Headphone Surround- Off in the car, On for headphones (sometimes)
Reverberation- Off
Dynamic System- On- Extreme Headphones(v2), 16% Dynamic Bass, Tube Simulator enabled
Fidelity Control- ViPER Bass- On- Natural Bass, 40hz, 3.5db, ViPER Clarity- On- OZone+, 3.5db
Auditory System Protection- Cure Tech- On, Moderate
Master Gate (Limiter)- 0db, 0db
Glad it's working out for you guys!

I started to install it but got stuck. When I go to put the apk in the system/app folder it says "has not been copied" but it does list it as there twice both having 0kb size
Does it have a huge difference compared to DSP Manager? and what are the difference?
considering trying this mod...
but i need to know how to uninstall this mod ...just incase i don't like it ....
(I'm currently rooted running a stock dedoxed rom... using beats audio and poweramp so headphone wise i have no issue with the sound, but sound through the phones speakers is just too low.)
I'm on 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn (7-18-13),
after flash the rom,on phone speaker, default bass was too heavy to make it sounds horrible, and the dsp manager didn't work.
but this MOD works great!
Really thanks for the info, it fixed my phone speaker problem

"- Where possible, arrange for the conversion of the songs (in background) below 256 kbps to 320kbps" lol thats the ugliest thing i've seen till now^^
If you really want to enhance audio quallity, buy good Headphones (no Beats or comparable) and use 10 Band EQ to tune the sound to what you like most.
Everything that's using Beats Audio is just messing up Audio Quality, its going to be far away from how it should sound, there are many reports in how beats audio works and how ugly it is, especially when using better Hifi-Headphones.
i flashed this and now sound quality is very good but volume is low ex. max vol on phone same as computer at 2/5 vol. normal? i think it were bit louder earlier. you feel same? Poweramp gain and direct sound made it better though.

thanks! I just flashed it and my music sounds a lot better, and indeed i dont have the noise anymore too.
I recommend you freezing it instead of uninstalling it straight.
To reinstall freezing is simpler too. Just defroze it and restart your phone.
However if you have uninstalled it you will need to reflash.
