Post your best voodoo sound examples!

This might be fun...
I was pretty skeptical of what voodoo sound could do at first, but now that I have it, I am definitely convinced of the advantages provided by this little mod.
Individual instruments ring through, the mids and lows are given a lot of depth, and the highs have excellent fidelity with out being overbearing. This is by far one of the best additions to my phone.
Sooo...I was thinking we could all link what we feel best exemplifies the improvement in sound quality given to us by voodoo. That piece you can't help but play over and over again because it sounds so good now. I'll start us off

(It's ska, which I think is one of the best audio tests, given the large range of sounds in any given song; and it happens to be my passion lol )
Let's keep it to one per user. And I would say don't directly attach anything, because I'm not sure if I'll get in trouble lol.
Maybe when it's all said and done we'll have a cool little xda-epic4g soundtrack. Think of it as a sociology experiment

Whats voodoo? Software?

I keep reading about Voodoo profiles but all I can change is the volume. What am I missing?

I am not really sure how to use this either, I tried to look it up but a thread with over 100 pages is hard to find stuff,lol.

make sure you keep it legal...

Voodoo is an addon by http://twitter.com/supercurio , I'm under the impression its a set of kernel enhancements along with config/control apps you can install from market (or include in ROM). "Voodoo" is kind of his brand name. He's spent quite a bit of time improving sound qualities, but he's also messed with screen color accuracy and camera picture quality.
As for how to get it - I saw its in the most recent ACS ROM/twilight kernel. Haven't tried it, though I'm excited too.

Latest Viper ROM has voodoo baked in. FYI

I have it in my rom. (srf frozen 1.0.2) but don't know how to use it.tried looking it up, but too much to sift through. If anyone knows a good setting to put it on, please let me know..( I don't use head phones so I'm not sure if that is all it adjusts or not)
Thanks

1. How do you use it?
2. Does it only kick in when headphones are used or does the external speaker quality benefit as well?

headphones are nothing but external speakers, so yes any audio out will benefit...
there's a voodoo control app that comes with syndicate (which is what im running right now)...there are a few options in there that can be turned off (as well as a bunch of options you can enable to provide better recording quality)...but from my understanding, there are improvements that voodoo gives you that may not have an actual "option" to enable/disable. im not so sure though, as the details given in the voodoo thread are a little inconsistent with what we can see in the voodoo control app (such as the parametric equalizer)...
my guess is that the port of voodoo (which is for the international galaxy s) to the epic is still somewhat of a WIP...
all that being said, the best way to hear improvements would be to have an epic with out voodoo and one with voodoo, and hear them side by side...or another version of the galaxy s since they all probably have the same stock audio filters...
since i dont have two phones, i played the same song before and after I flashed syndicate. call it selective perception if you want, but i definitely hear an improvement.

Yeah, I'm running acs 1.0.3, I just haven't updated my signature. I just don't see any other playback options other than being able to adjust the headset volume option.

Warms 2.3

Who would like to see this running stock? Or who would like this to be as senseless as possible and still run beats audio with Miui launcher?

Beats audio doesn't even work with any evo4g rom .......

Also if it was stock it wouldn't be a "Warm" rom

What? 2 posts and neither make sense what exactly are you asking? Beats requires hardware to fully function you only get partial functionality with the Beats app and a beats enabled kernel, for true beats you need a beats enabled audio processor along with the software and it's overrated unless you listen to alot of rap/hip-hop r&b or pop, rock doesn't sound that great on it I have a laptop with a beats audio processor, beats speakers and beats headphones, sounds great when I listen to rap/r&b but southern rock and metal sound like total crap and way over bassed
We are legion, for we are many.

What I am getting at is gutting as much as you can of sense and leaving whats required for beats to work and you are mistaken because beats works on warm 2.3 you can enable and disable and difference is night and day? I apologize for any confusion. Also by stock I mean the way it was released to us. That should have been obvious.

It doesn't work when you enable beats it goes into a debugging mode the true effect is not there

it has worked on mine I can enable and disable get sound from both and as mentioned sound is night and day. It might not work to my knowledge but something is working with it because there is a huge difference in clarity.

It might sound somewhat "better" but it doesnt work fully like if you had a 3vo you could tell the difference from our "beats" compared to ours

I love the feel of Miui and would like a gutted warm 2.3 cooked up with the min req for the beats to function as it is currently thats what i am getting at. Anyone wanna cook this up?

Just install the miui launcher on xda delete Rosie.apk and lock screen and remove Widgets and that's it
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That's more or less what I did but I feel like someone who is more familiar with dissection a rom would be able to remove all the unnecessary apks. That and miui rom and launcher differ quit alot I would want as much miui integrated. basically a hybrid sense aosp of some sorts

Can probably expect someone to do it later since its only had one release so when it gets a couple more updates someone will jump in most likely

Omg beats requires hardware as well as software for full functionality you can get the same effect as beats on an evo4g with proper eq settings trust me beats on the evo4g doesn't sound anything like the real deal real beats with hardware sounds like a studio with huge subwoofers trust me my laptop was close to 2grand and my headphones were 185 I know what real beats sounds like personally I wish I had bought the Bose audio driver laptop and the Bose noise cancelling headphones instead cuz I don't even use the beats that much I ususally use winamp pro with custom eq settings to listen to a mix of music I only turn on beats when I'm listening to all rap/r&b

http://www.dshack.net/2011/10/what-the-heck-is-beats-audio.html
That page has images of what the beats "audio processor" does. Basically it's an eq, with good marketing. It's all going to depend on the quality of the headphones you are using also. You can create similar results using any eq. But as Evil said, true beats requires hardware and kernel support our evos do not have. Would you like some tips on recreating the beats sound with any eq?
Edit: Google the equal loudness curve. It's an eq setting most people find quite pleasing.
And remember people your audio is only going to be as good as your cheapest or crappiest piece in the system. I.e. $5000 speakers through a $500 amp or cheap ass cables won't sound like$5000 speakers.

CM7 Nightly music quality - SOLVED! see post#5 (not CM7 related)

Hey guys. Im running the 02/23/12 nightly.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing lower-than-par headset quality. I'm very particular with my music, and i listen to a lot of the same songs repeatedly, so i know exactly how they are supposed to sound.
Forgive me, I'm not too keen on audio lingo, so its difficult for me to describe what I'm experiencing: sometimes it sounds like the volume is fluctuating. One may even say that it sounds like my phone is having a difficult time when there is heavy bass and heavy treble at the same time.
Regardless of my ****ty explanation, has anyone else noticed a difference in audio quality since using the new nightlies?

Have you tried the beats audio mod? found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
Are you shure it's CM7 not 9? I thought that there are no more updates for cm7.

Definitely cm7, nightly support started back up about a month ago or so
What does that mod do? I'm not looking for anything fancy, i just want it to sound the way it should...like it used to when i was on the old CM7, and on froyo

I have noticed the past few updates Supercurio has put out that they have made the sound almost "wavy " if that makes sense. I just reverted back two builds ago and all is back to normal. Think he is recoding Voodoo app to integrate free and plus into one app and something isn't gellin too good. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is hard to pit it into words. Pretty sure it isn't exclusive to CM.

would you be so kind as to PM me the apk of the voodoo version you are using??

Of course my friend. PM sent

You're a bloody genius, the revert version you sent me resolved the issue. "wavy" - HA! that was a PERFECT way to describe what i was experiencing, and it was ruining my life. thank you for bringing meaning back to my exisistence.
my wife was telling me it was probably all in my psycho head...WOMEN!!
(i mustve casually, and coincidentally, updated voodoo shortly before/after switching to the new nightlies, which is prob the reason i was led to believe it was a ROM issue)

Can I flash this without a data wipe?

If you are on AOSP or you do not have trebuchet installed, I would say you could go without a wipe. If you are on CM9. Then (you can try) without a data wipe, but I would do one if it doesn't work.

Should it works on AOKP Milestone 5 ROM?

Thanks for your quick reply

anyone can confirm that beats audio does something to better the sound?
i installed beats on my nexus but it didn't make much difference.
i am pretty audiophile and have pretty good headphones (sennheiser) so it can't be that playing a role in not getting much of a quality boost...

It's the beats audio driver. If somebody wants to confirm... Notice the audio is much louder and has better quality, which may be cancelled out by your headphpones

The audio seemed a little better. The high and the lows seemed amplified for a more dynamic range. Could just be placebo

I installed this add on but I don't see any differense.. I'm using AOSP from on gt7300. I cant find wallpapers or anything else new stuff

the wallpapers didn't show up for me either, but the sound does sounds better, deeper and louder

Nev v2 Beta release!

Flashing right away (AOKP B35)!

Confirmed a data-wipe is actually not necessary. I did a Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe, flashed on top of v1 and it worked wonderfully. Sounds a bit clearer now.

That's great. I thuought one would be necessary. I'll update it. Are you getting all the wallpapers etc? Some people didn't so I made a new Updater-script.

Yes, I see the Aurora, the other live wallpaper (Blue Sea I think) and new normal wallpapers that show a tree and a bridge. The ASUS Weather widget shows along with the TouchWiz DeskClock in the Widgets section and both work. This is with AOKP Build#35.

You made my day! All I need it the CRT Animation now.

Music Mod [XtremeMusic][V4A][Dolby Atmos]

Hello everyone
Found a very useful sound mo - latest version works on Z5C, with Xpower 5, Z3C (Confirmed) and probably others.

Installed the latest (Non systemless one) pretty sure it was version 7.9 or something.
And yeah the difference in what you can change, if you know what you are doing, it can sound amazing

Well they're not bad
Quite good
Can get more bass out of the stock player
And i noticed the sound also doesnt go over the normal volume limit which is nice

Do we have to use the stock music app to see some changes or it works with every music app (I've Soundcloud in mind) ?

Mwa, using 10 different audiomods is overkill. This is just a combination of 4 equalizers, 5 bass boosters, 6 sound enhancers and so on. It's true that a good sound mod can improve your sound a lot, but only if you use it in a clever way.
I used this for a while, but I removed these mods because this just doesn't work. It does give you a lot of extra bass and treble, but it also amplifies noise. Not just a little bit, but a lot. If you just stick to one mod (like Viper4Android) it's much better for your sound and you have more control.

I used to use this soundmod back on the Xperia Z2 that enhances bass and clarity, however it also became one of these "Supermods". Too many audio engines running would kill your battery (as to what I've read) and most of them overlapping would just give you a placebo effect. Good share though. I have been tempted to flash one of these supermods again, I guess I'll be holding back for now.
