sub bass drowns more than bass, keep that in mind. this is one of the reasons i love neutrons paramedic eq so much. attenuating frequencies is super easy using a q factor for bandwidth like in real mixing.

v4a's FIR EQ is peasantry by comparison

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

one wouldn't want ducking! haha. whats happening is that your dynamic range is compressed and so when you have certain frequencies (generally low frequencies) that are boosted or just emphasized relative to the mid or high freqs, they can overpower them. detail gets lost when this happens cause parts of say, the vocal range, which is pretty high, essentially get muted by the bass modulating the lower side of that range to an extreme. it's why lowpass filters at very high freqs are used during mastering and ADC, frequencies as high as 120 kHz aren't audible themselves, but they modulate frequencies as low as 10kHz! which is well within our hearing range. the filters are to protect what we can hear from being distorted this way. it's a critical and useful technique that preserves dynamic range and fidelity of the entire recording.

i even use one at 24k in Neutron, sometimes just by itself, for even better dynamic range (within 20Hz-20kHz, the range that matters) and to cut out any weird peaks above that level which are piercing and damaging to hearing if left unattenuated

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

no viper bass, convolution or dyamic system in v4a? no generic "bass boost" in media player? Harmon kardon might be worth trying. do you use a tweakprop?

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

you've mentioned new dolby prop lines related to this but I've yet to see anything other than the old ds2 lines in any of the new tweak props. i gotta update those lines! WHAT ARE THEYYYYYYY
[Android Software Development] gangrenius:
I'm grateful for all this work I really am but I think it's going the wrong way when we can no longer use it WITHOUT OUR KERNEL IN PERMISSIVE MODE. I don't know about you guys but in this day and age security means more than anything and a permissive kernel is just like taking ten steps back in that aspect. Which aroma can I use that doesn't require permissive kernel?
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
These were the ones that I was talking about. They are in the latest guitardedhero Tweakprop.

Had the old ds2 lines enabled withe these lines but it didn't sound good. So I commented out the old ds2 lines and enabled these, and sound quality has been amazing.

not to be a ****, as i value security and privacy as well, but i mean you could just exercise common sense and take care in what you choose to execute on your device / what networks you connect to / whether or not you use nfc/bluetooth/wifi 24/7 and its incredibly unlikely you'll have any trouble running permissive. and don't keep mission critical information or like, plaintext financial information on your phone, that kind of thing. it's not super hard, just like taking 5 seconds to read each page of a Windows installer isn't super hard. be vigilant and you won't end up with 19 extra toolbars on your browser

How do you cut 24k and different frequencies in Neutron?

Could you elaborate on that, If doing thing like this (I've never heard about it tbh) can improve audio quality it could be useful and should even "stickied" into ARISE tutorial to flashing ARISE and improving audio quality in general imo.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

i know i should just write up a massive mixing tutorial someday.

so, fire up neutron. select a flat EQ preset to level everything out. i like to make a duplicate first thing and rename it before i start so i don't screw up any presets. one of the best things you can do, literally without doing any more configurations, is just adding a simple low pass filter.

as its name would suggest, a low pass filter is a filter that passes all frequencies below the reference frequency (meaning the one you select in this application) and attenuates (reduces, but really attenuation is the weakening of a signal, and in fact is the opposite of gain, interesting yeah?) all frequencies above it.

so hit the little cog thing after you've selected one if the Available EQ bands, probably the last one for organizations sake if you wanna add more later, and set that band to be a low pass filter with q factor (as opposed to slope, but q is the default so don't worry about ****ing with it).

set the Q factor to .700 or so. THAT'S POINT 7. NOT 700. be careful or you'll annihilate your everything. Neutrons included DXD filter uses a Q of .707 which works well, but anything approaching 1, I'd say over .8 probably, will end up boosting the freqs approaching your reference.

leave the gain at 0, or maybe even -.1 if you're sensitive to high frequencies. now set the frequency to 23999. you can do less if you want, it's your preference and anything between 20k and 24k will accomplish what we are trying to do.

that's it! you have successfully expanded the dynamic range of your music, even up to 32bit bit depth. everything above 24kHz is now attenuated and can't modulate (much) your audible frequencies.

[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I absolutely agree 100%. There is a very specific reason the thread title says RC7. It's not necessarily a security concern for me, i just feel it is important to evolve and adapt as well as we can with the software with which we work instead of relying on legacy solutions until forced when the legacy solution no longer works.

Permissive Selinux will never be a requirement, I promise you. :good:

I've noticed a lot of reports of unacceptable audio degradation, more than ever in fact, and will look into recent changes made. Your issue sounds very minor though, I'm willing to bet just switching your Kernel governer to On Demand will avoid those disturbances. :good:

[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I think the majority of Arise users have bassy sounding earphones. Therefore when Arise brightens up the sound it's an improvement. My earphones have a pretty well balanced sound. Though they have great bass response they also have great mids and highs. I love their sound.

The problem is when Arise adds the extra highs they sound unnaturally bright. I really like the midrange clarity I get from it though. That's why I keep coming back. Is there something I can change in tweak.prop to add the midrange clarity without adding too much highs? Also I like a little extra bass that doesn't bury the low mids.

I keep switching back to ViperAtmos 4.7.1.Stock but after hearing the clear mids from Arise it sounds a little muddy.

Update: Here's a little illustration that might help show what I mean. [MENTION=6449207]Roi007leaf[/MENTION] allowed me to look up the Impulse Response Graph for his AKG Q350 earphones along with the one for my Sennheiser IE4.

[Android Software Development] Robot76:
Always keep a copy of libsonydseehxwrapper.so (from /system/lib/)

So next time you experience a bootloop or similar, you just need to use TWRP and replace the existing one with your original one that you've saved using File Manager.

The Xperia version does not give you what you already have, that's the only difference...

So you may use any Arise...

[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Hi ephexxis,

Very interested in going further with Neutron but probably like others find the interface confusing. I'm happy with USB Audio player but like the options Neutron has.

I started with your instructions above but when selecting the preset and then hitting the "cog" button I got this screen (attached). Didn't see options for your next step: "set that band to be a low pass filter with q factor."

I don't want to clog up this forum though. Can I pm you or can you direct me to a good site for easy instructions?

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

its either a gain issue, eg too much power applied to the signal causing clipping/distortion, can be adjusted in your buildprop with the line

alsa.mixer.defaultGain=.8

try that value and adjust from there

or its simply electronic interference due to using a cheap cable with bad shielding or something, this can be fixed by replacing it with a decent cable.

if you use neutron, adding a standard lowpass [MENTION=1430453]24k[/MENTION]Hz helps with harsh highs, you could even bring it down to 20kHz without nerfing the highest of what we can hear directly.

i posted a video a few pages so showing how to do this, alternatively you can use v4a's hearing protection feature but i find that you lose midrange and even low end detail with it

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

its only beneficial to attenuate signal strength provided your hardware can still drive your headphones or speakers to adequately get your volumes where you want. that gain adjustment is basically reducing the amplification your phone applies when converting to analog, so lowering it both protects your listening equipment from being overloaded and i imagine if you can lower it enough you may even see better battery life.
