Updated profile with Dynamic System added.

The following irs files were tested with this proflie and its results:

Friends With Molly - clear,balanced sound with a realistic bass response.

.//sound- a more pronounced bass,slightly recesses mids and clear highs.

ClearPlus HD- extremely clear sound. May have to tweak for bass.

Ambrosia- punching bass response, clear sound and slightly recessed mids.

ASPSM- clear and balanced sound. May have to tweak the bass if this file is used.

Heaven's Lost Melody- highs are slightly harsh, bass response in neutral. With this profile this file has an extremely clear sound.

Hell's Gate- balanced file with a nice punch in the bass.

Music Of The Gods- similar to FWM but with more lively bass response.

Musical Elixir- clear and balanced sound with a flat bass response.

Musical Venom- Musical Elixir with more bite in the bass.

Sinful Grooves- similar results as Musical Venom

Sony HIFI Groove On- a balanced sound with profile.

Surround 7.1 & LFE - dynamic and loud. Must lower the output gain.

Valhalla- an dynamic sound with profile. May have to lower output gain.

DDC:

You do not have to use this setting, but depending on your headphones it can provide a nice sound.

Dynamic System:

Extreme Headphones and High End Headphone settings worked well with this profile. I use Dynamic Bass because IMHO it sounds better then the Pure Bass+ setting. I can also achieve a pure bass from Dynamic Bass at the 10-25% range.
[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
Was very excited to try 'Friends With Molly' however unlike all of my other IRS files (including Zhuhangs Z-editions) that I use, said IRS file does not work. Does it require eXtremeBeats (I've been hesitant to also install this as there is no clean way to revert / remove)? Can it work standalone with Viper4Android? I've installed V4A via the flashable zip in /priv-app/ everything seems to work other than this. Must be missing something, apologies for my ignorance.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
1. viper4android is the only android app that uses impulse response samples.

2. If you read the op of Extremebeats, the developer made it perfectly clear what his audio mod is about.

3. By flash installing v4a you're no longer can use vindardo's irs files which are 24 bit samples.
[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
2.) I did read the OP, thanks.

3.) Is this still true even though the app is located in /priv-app/? I thought the 24 bit issue was when the app was installed as a user or system app.

Unfortunately for my AOSP Nexus 5 I've never been able to make the last three versions of V4A work unless installing from the flashable zip. Regular installs and then moving to /priv-app/ show no success.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
The 24 bit issue is when you manually install the app as a system app.
[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
Gotcha, so in order for 24bit IRS to work you must install as a user app and then manually move to a system app (not system/priv-app/)?

again thanks.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
No no no. Priv app I assume that everyone has the common sense to know that the v4a must be move to priv-app since most who used the app are on kit kat.
[Android Software Development] SuperVee3:
V4A works for me as a system. The ROM I use has it installed there.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
OK did you put the app there or the dev did?
[Android Software Development] SuperVee3:
The dev did on my HTC One. Now with each update to V4A I just install it there. On my Note 3 I installed it there.
[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
v4a currently lives in /system/priv-app for me like I stated. I have installed viper using a flashable zip. Everything works other than 24bit IRS files. So all I'm trying to confirm is how to make this a /system/priv-app/ the correct way. You said flashing it (which places it as a /system/priv-app/) will not allow 24bit IRS. How are you using it is a system app without manually moving from a user app or installing the flashable zip? You implied in another thread that the manual moving also doesn't work

"It does plain and simple. Also you fail to comprehend that by manually moving the app cause irs files made with 24 bit output to stop working."

So I'm curious as to what worked for you.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I used an app that I also mentioned in the same thread called lucky patcher. It is a banned app that has the same backup functions as titanium backup. Before you ask why there are features in that app that got it banned.
[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
Just wanted to report that using that app was the only way I've ever been able to make Viper4Android work as a system app that wasn't from using the flashable zip method. 24bit IRS files now work, along with the Firequalizer. Apparently the free 'system app' converters in the play store are doing something wrong... Very much liking your profile on my Soundmagic E10. Just need a VIPER-DDC for it ;) Hopefully in the next v4a release :)

Thanks for the tip.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
Does anyone have a good suggestion for hip hop on Sony mdr 7506s?
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I will say this again we do not make suggestions for profiles as it is based on our biases in music as well as our headphones and devices. Also giving people profiles doesn't help people who don't know how to use the app. Basically you know how hip hop songs sound on your device using Sony MDR 7506 headphones you just need help making a profile and that we can help you with. I need you to tell me how the music sounds with these headphones in order to help you.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
I apologize for my lack of knowledge [emoji16] . For the most part they are clear but lacking in bass. I'm looking for a nice all around sound with good bass and highs with strong mids. The headphones are also somewhat quiet stock.
[Android Software Development] SuperVee3:
If u look through some of the profiles u might see something u like
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
First step is to try the DDC feature as should balance out the sound plus your headphones are supported.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

It is much better if he learns how to do it as after all it is his music not ours. Teaching others is what XDA is about after all.
[Android Software Development] SuperVee3:
Checkout the profiles and tweak to your liking. When I first got Viper4Android I spent so much time tweaking it and couldn't get it to sound right. Started comparing profiles after a few months and got a better setup. What works for u doesn't work for others just like what works for me won't work for others.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
We can debate until the cows come home it won't help him get the setup right. Let me help him at least create a profile then once he gets a feel on how the app works then he can compare to the other profiles. Plus did you have a forum member help you create a profile? I am taking my time out to help him. I have use this app as long as you if not longer and as for creating profiles are concerned I don't recall forum members giving step by step instruction to creating profiles. Hell I don't recall forum members informing each other the pros and cons of each setting other that irs setting drains battery faster.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
Thank you for the support. I want to learn as much as possible about audio and it's elements. When using ddc only it sound a little more balanced but muffled. It sounds more balanced but less clear.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Good to know so it is safe to say that the DDC feature will need an assist from other settings. Don't use the DDC.

Give this a test run:

VHS+: Level 2(should help with soundstage anything higher the sound becomes artificial)

Viper Bass: Natural Bass( Pure Bass works as well but it lowers audio volume a bit)

Bass Frequency: 100 Hz

Bass Boost: 8.0 dB or 10 dB

The above should help with bass if it doesn't then use the following as an assist:

Dynamic System( enabled)

Listening Device: High End Headphones V2

Dynamic Bass: 24%
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
Thank you for the help. I will try this in a second, just flashed a New Rom. [emoji24] will using the equalizer or concolvers be a step in the wrong direction? Should I stay away from them unless needed?
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Convolver are a great help and so is the EQ. The issue with the EQ is that it is a pain to get it to the exactly where you want it. Convolver will be the final thing I will help with as just adding it can greatly alter the sound. It is last because since Google updated to Kit Kat people are having a hard time getting the higher quality irs files to work. So unless you have install the app as regular user app there will be a process to get high quality irs files to work.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
I am on a Galaxy s5 so it is a user app. thank you for the info and help its much appreciated. i downloaded the around 500 irs files you had on you google drive but ill wait till later to apply those. As for the effects listed previously, the bass sounds much more balanced. It also sounds somewhat metallic or robotic i think its from the vhs but i could be wrong. other then the electric sound it is already a bit better
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Likely the VHS+ but I usually use convolver so it isn't as noticeable.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
Are there any other effects i should use before convolver?
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
There is tube simulator which some people use to combat the white noise in some irs files. Cure tech helps cut some high frequencies to limit audio fatigue. Output is great for increasing(for low volume irs files) or decreasing(louder irs files) audio gain.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:
OK i will tweak around with those once i figure a convolver to use. What would be a good convolver for good balance?

Guy this hells gate is naturally bassy and I love it...I'm going to cook up an nice profile night
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Here is a list:

1. X-FI - very clear and balanced.

2. ASPSM- balanced with emphasis on vocal clarity. (If it isn't in my files you downloaded then get them in vinardo's thread)

3. Any Cassette Type IV irs files- balanced with a warm sound depending on headphones.

4. ClearPlus HD- extremely clear sound that should benefit from extra bass.

5. Creative CMSS 3D Max - balanced but realistic

6. All DBX 160SL irs files- all are clear and balanced since it emulates sound from a $3400 stereo compressor.

7. Dolby Pro Logic II- clear balanced but loud so lower output gain.

8. Dolby Surround & Pro Logic & LFE normal- I prefer this to DTH(Death To Hearing) version as it isn't as loud and can be enjoyed at -4.4 dB.

9. Elements Of Fidelity ZzZ edition- less bass then the other versions.

10. Friends With Molly- very balanced as everything is equally enhanced.

11. Heaven High End- known for its highs and vocal clarity but will benefit from your bass settings.

12. Heaven's Lost Melody- very clear and balanced sound but with female vocals(only the ones that hit the high notes) a hiss will be heard.

13. Hell's Gate- I requested this with rock in mind but find that it works with other genres just as well. Balanced but bass and mid range are highlighted in some songs.

14. All JoeMeek SC2 irs files- another file that emulates a stereo compressor. Balanced since this is music studio equipment by a reputable company.

15. Music Of The Gods- similar to Heaven High End but with better bass.

16. Musical Elixir- this has a soothing sound but can have bite with the right bass settings.

17. Musical Venom- this is the bass version of Musical Elixir.

18. All SPL irs files- these files emulate sounds from the brands tube processor,preamp and audio enhancer.

19. Sinful Grooves - balanced with a nice bass.

20. Sony HIFi Groove On- very balanced and clear.

These are just 20 of the irs files that could work with your setup. Some of the irs files have enough bass to eliminate the need of viper's bass settings. Others have the clarity to eliminate the need for the other clarity settings. Basically the convolver setting is extremely powerful setting as the files if done properly can outperform the other settings.
[Android Software Development] joey.gunnarson:

Golden Clarity V4A Sound Profile

I have a balanced V4A Profile that's running side by side with eXtremeBeats and ASDPE Optimal sound mods on the Verizon HTC One M8. The profile I created is intended for low impendance IEM's such as my Sony XBA-4's as most audiophiles should know are very picky and with a DAC like the one found in the HTC One M8 the sound start crackling when the volume levels become too much for the IEM's to handle. But if given the right settings and output gain your tricky low impendance IEM's can sound amazing. My sound profile isn't just for low impendance IEM's either as long as the VIPER Bass and Master Gate Limiter is adjusted to your headphone or IEM's preferences. Also my V4A sound profile is very immersive with great separation of sounds some people do not like Differential Surround because vocals tend to lean slightly more to the left rather than front and center but the sound it creates is more than worth it in my opinon.

I will make updates to this profile if need be as I am constantly switching between irs.

My highly recommended irs files.

-Dolby Prologic II.irs (loudness and clarity)

-DBX 160 SL Blue.irs (extremely balanced),

-Joe Meek SC2 Impulse.irs (also extremely balanced)

-SPL GoldMike Impulse.irs (Balanced)

-Urei 1178 Impulse.irs (balanced but has some enhanced loudness and bass)
[Android Software Development] gianton:
Great profile thanks for sharing it mate.

Btw are all your recommended .irs files paid?
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
They are all 100% free most of them you can get from the irs starter pack on V4A's OP. The Dolby Prologic II Can be found in a earlier post on this forum.
[Android Software Development] makmoneynslp:
Yes sir and they help a lot
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I get pretty decent separation using the TruTheatre Surround Headphone Live Room.irs plus Headphone Surround + on level 2 on my earphones. It's good enough for them. But in my car I use Differential with some pretty extreme delay. Then I pan it to 0.4 - 0.6. It sounds like you're sitting in the middle of the front row hearing every instrument separately. Man do I love that sound.
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
Wow why didn't I think of doing that before haha I'm going to try that out now with my profile and I will also try out the irs you listed to see how that sounds. I use the irs files I listed because they are taken from $1000-$3000 machines and the clarity is just amazing out of them not to mention my Sony XBA-4's are very picky even when using the DDC for them.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Where do I find that irs? I have looked for it before but couldn't find it.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Here you go. [MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION] pounted out how good it sounds a while back. I tried it and now I use it exclusively.
[Android Software Development] derking1:
Looking for a killer audio profile that's compatible with apple earphones (the 1 BEFORE the earpods) and my Nexus 4. Kudos! (One more thing, if I download XHIFI and make it compatibile with Viper, would I get better audio quality)?
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
Try my Hard Diamond Profile listed above and just adjust the Master Gate Limiter to your liking.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
At this point I would recommend XHIFI for certain headphones since that app is still more powerful than the viper clarity setting in FX. Profiles work with all headphones it is the people who are listening to music the profiles have to work for.
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
You can in fact get better quality out of XHIFI it will help clarify sound and bass response. If it isn't to your liking you could always turn it off or uninstall it. I would also recommend installing sound mods such as the ones I have listed above in my Hard Diamond V4A Profile as they make the stock sound significantly better by a pretty large margin just remember to get rid of them you would have to dirty flash your Rom or restore a backup as they don't have a uninstaller but they are worth it.
[Android Software Development] blazer345:
I want to try your profile, but can you please tell me how can I install XHIFI on android 4.4.2? I tried installing it but driver installation always fails. thank you!
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Yeah it's all about your hardware. I have the Sennheiser IE4 earphones. They have a fairly balanced sound. I don't need to use high clarity settings because they're clear enough without them. In fact when I tried some of the sound mods other people like it came out way too bright.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
You have to install it as a system app in order for it to work. Also it is not needed if your headphones already have good sound to the high end frequencies. It will make those headphones sound too bright. So only use it if your headphones lack a good quality highs.

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

What you said about XHIFI is very subjective. As the sound quality is HIGHLY dependent on the headphones. By default XHIFI has an artificial brightness that headphones can't obtain by sound engineers tweaking its drivers. In order for XHIFI to effectively sound great the headphones being used must be weak in the high end frequencies. If the headphones already have good sounding highs then that artificial brightness becomes exposed. XHIFI sounds brighter then the irs files you used and those files represent the ideal studio sound.
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
Very true that's why I said if it wasn't to his liking to just uninstall or have it turned off.
[Android Software Development] beautifulsun:
Very good profile. Did you tried something with ZhuHang IRS (maybe Z-Edition)?
[Android Software Development] Sloth305:
Yes I have his 48Hz Z-edition Sony Xperia irs. for me its hit or miss sometimes I feel like I lose some minor details that other irs files give me. Don't get me wrong they are great audio purist irs files but I like my music to have great separation and space so that it sounds like I'm experiencing it live everyone has different listening preferences my profile is more or less a template that can be further adjusted to your preferences.
