[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
Alright so at the end of the day it ended up being 6 configurations total where i would say 4 or 5 are pretty close to each other (though some are more fine tuned and heavily tested than others), whereas there's one that includes some props that I've gathered both from the subsequent releases (meaning they might not really affect .8.9 but may apply to those of you running a newer version though i tried to avoid including anything that obviously was addressing files i lacked) as well as a few in the course of my research. I've labeled this particular configuration "VIPplus", because it's basically a pretty standard config with a section added containing some tested but some untested lines that you can play with yourselves if you want.

ZF2_DAC_SPEAKER.prop is the one I've spent by far the most time fine tuning. It is my current build.prop (with all my system stuff removed so it can be flashed with tweak.prop) and its about as good as I've every gotten things to sound overall on my setup. Its tuned (all of them are actually apart from the VIPplus and ZF2EXP) assuming there will be effects used down the line but also designed around providing the best SNR, and proper foundation while not emphasizing any particular bands, the idea being that you can EQ or use VIPERs effects to boost or attenuate the frequencies and ranges that you want without falling apart quality wise and hopefully improving channel separation and bandwidth resolution.

if you don't like EQing, or if you find it difficult (honestly I'm really good at it these days and there are still times where I'll build one and just shut it all down cause i only seem to make **** sound worse), you shouldn't have to for these setups to work. the main effects i kept enabled while tuning (because i wanted to define a specific sound in a particular bass range) were DDC AT ATH CM700, CONVOLVER IRS: DTS MODE (ZS128KMp3)/ 15-35% crossfeed, DYNAMIC SYSTEM (between 6 and 16db depending on tested configurations), VIPER CLARITY OZONE+ 6dB, MASTER GATE OUTPUT GAIN - -1.9-4.4/ LIMIT THRESHOLD -1.9dB.

i may upload some neutron files in the future to share some of the EQs I've created. for those of you who use it,kill your current neutron if you are currently neutron if hou ha my create a folder in internal storage called NeutronMP. NEUTRON will now create a database there on next launch and load from there, thus rendering it invulnerable to all but factory resets.

final note: i wanted to share an idea of where my tuning is coming from, or like give you guys an idea of what is informing the direction i take things, so I've included a little (but nostalgic, for me at least) 15 minute, 5 track drum n bass mix that i recorded... wow i guess like 2009? something like that. it's actually something i recorded right after i figured out the tricks to beatmatching breakbeats for the first time, which as you can imagine is significantly more intense and difficult than beatmatching say, trance, with a 4:4 kick.

lol the only downside really is that this was back before i had any sophisticated equipment, didn't even have a dac, so this file is only recorded in 192kbps mp3.

still it doesn't sound too degraded all things considered. just skip the first song if you're not into it, I'm kinda not into it anymore, by zooming ahead to... 3:14 is right when the second track starts to move in. takes over by 4 minutes in. the rest of the tracks are classic and will never get old to me. shelter by matrix is still a staple test track for me and i use it to test out new hardware that i get.

this was the only ethical or legal way i felt i could share some legit music, as mixes are protected (which is why places like mixcloud can exist) that might at least get people running DACs to speakers an idea of the sound im going for, but hopefully everyone in here can find a configuration they like.

EXHALE here we go...

as the love of my life used to say every time she'd find some obscure new dnb or uk hardcore release that i somehow missed: N-joi ^_^

just manually edit your build.prop in the future and skip all the extra flsshing. it's located in /system. save, reboot, profit!
