Beats audio and Brivia Engine - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Just wanted to know what so special about beat audio and brivia engine?
See a lot of ROM devs using these and have no idea what it offers.

Beats audio = great sounding music ... Not so sure about the bravia engine tho

i have something i want to share and i think its worth throwing out there:
i have spent the day researching beats and what beats actually does for HTC devices in general. honestly, i can now say that i have no urge to pursue implementing beats into the rom. the next build will be removing beats and adding in performance tweaks instead. here are a few of my reasons below:
1. beats ONLY works with the HTC music app. i would rather use google music/pandora for my music.
2. i would rather use an EQ tool and have an enhanced sound across the whole device and not on just the music app
3. based on various items i have read from several different sources, beats is just a gimmicky bass enhancer. nothing you cant get from a decent EQ.
in my research, its not worth it.

Brivia Engine don't know.

Isn't Bravia for better pictures?

I never used EQ on my devices and never ever used the stock head phones that come with the devices either.
I prefer my own headphones rather then the crap you get with the phones. Never used by BB headset or my SGS headset and don't like the Raiders headset.
EQ is a gimmicky in my opinion that is not needed with good headphones.

Beats audio = Cool boot/shutdown animations.

[Request]Beats Audio Software?

Can we port over beats audio to this device?
Voodoo is all we need. Poweramp helps a bit too. Beats is just a marketing name that has no real advantage. Trust me you don't want what they got.

I think its more hardware than software. If possible would be outstanding.

Yep...GUI might not appealing to most though.
I think personally with voodoo controls and my beats earbuds it sounds better than my cousins iphone4.

We want beats audio lol. Would like to try it on NS.
My HP touchpad has that stupid Beats audio and it sucks. My Nexus S with sony headphones (MDR-ex300sl) and Voodoo + DSP Manager sound wayyyyy better than Beats.

No "we" don't. Beats is nothing but anecdotal garbage.
All "Beats Audio" is, is a multiband compressor much like all the other "audio enhancement" crap (i.e Creative X-FI Crystalizer, Alpine's Media Expander, Sony's DM+ Advanced, etc), making certain frequencies louder at the cost of others. Which incidentally reduces both clarity and soundstage. Unfortunately, human hearing can sometimes perceive louder volume as better sound.

Particularly in the case of beats, and bass is pumped up at the severe cost of mid and high tones. Which is why I don't use my wife's beats headphones.

NS w/Voodoo is better than Sensation w/Beats. I can't wait to come back to Samsung.

I don't know .. i think maybe i'm doing something wrong .. when i plug-in my Nexus to the car via AUX cable then the bass is so hard .. treble is good then i plug-in my friends HD7 with SRS on and it's SOOOOOO much better or is it just my placebo?
I have Voodoo installed with the bass boost on :S

Bass boost = bad bass every time.

Can anyone point me towards the "best" Voodoo sound settings. It should be good for loudspeaker and headsets.

Beats audio

I was looking at it, is there any way to get it on our phone like a apk or something?

Probably not. Just use DSP Manager. Lots more options and you can eek plenty good audio out that way.

Not good at all
Just upgrade your earphone. Or maybe try use Poweramp app and set it equalizer to bass& treble. It'll sound perfect to me. No need for that Beats apks.
I dont think there is a way, but im sure there are equalizer apps on the market you can get to do the same thing.

This phone hasn't been updated in over a year, officially. I wouldn't count on it happening.

but on the other hand, this phone just won't stop pumping out what we throw at it
and it still performs well under pressure from say like new software plenty of people said "couldn't" run on the older hardware ? lolz
This only works for Gingerbread devices. Unzip the files and put them in /system. Download the zip here.

Voodoo sound vs beats audio

Thinking about flashing beats audio. I already have voodoo sound.Which the difference detween them? Which is better? They are both sound amplifiers?
I dont know whether beats audio works on 2x but voodoo does work. Plus DSPManager along with Voodoo makes music complete. One more PLUS LG'S default music player is very high audio quality music player with lib dependent HW equalizing unlike other players which uses cpu for DSP.
So in summary,
LG music player + voodoo + dspmanager thats way enough for an ear

Now i'm using audio beats with boose and i have to say that i feel the difference between before (using vodoo sounds^^). Finally i think that audio beats is better...it's my opinion of course.
My vote goes to beats audio.
of course voodo sound, beats audios take no effect=.=
Well, manage to find working dsp manager.. my settings:
1) v20q rom+stock kernel
2) beats audio
3) dsp manager: bass boost moderate+rock eq
Results: Listening to Metallica, and surprisingly superb..
Wish Jason Newstead's bass sound a bit clearer..

Listen Metallica"s "fixxxer" or "the memory remains" for real deep bass. Jason newsted was a great bassist

According to supercurio, The Creator of voodoo, he said beats makes no diferrence, he measured it. Also I would really believe something really optimised to our phones, to our hardware.
Anyway, if beats do something(which I dont believe), it would be just some software enhancement like equalizer or anything faulting the clearness of the sound.
Just my opinion based on my logic.

I think its not which one is the best.. its about which is convenient to users. For me, the Beats Audio advantage is we dont need another app to configure it, as Voodoo we do need the app to activate it.
Just flash Beats Audio, install DSP Manager and find your settings. (To me, its simpler)..

sry for the stupid question: does voodoo/beats also take effect on the regular speakers or only on headphones? Thx!

[Q] Best Rom for music and sound mods?

So I'm getting a note 2 very soon and so I'll be using my IncS as a media phone in my car, speakers at parties etc. So what ROMs would you guys recommend with what sounds mods? The reason I ask "what ROM" is because some ROMs support different mods to other ROMs, cheers guys.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
AOSP if you want to be flashing mods like awesomebeats and ac!d with equalisers
Viper if you want to use the built in SRS, Dolby or beats. SRS and Dolby on viper is actually dope so I highly recommend those for sound enhancements
If the note 2 has a Wolfson DAC though, I'd be using that
Thanks for that. I'll probably use the note 2 aswell, but my IncS will most likely be the primary sound device.

@mark; you seem to know these kinda stuff, do those mods actually make any difference at all?
I know that DSP manager does with its equalizer, but haven't tried anything else.

I find that some actually do. I was amazed when I first used kingbeatz (nexus 7 mod) and iirc it works on the incredible s too. I can't remember taking a phone call though

AOSP + DSP Manager vs Sense Beats "On"

I'm probably in the minority here, but I REALLY enjoy Beats being turned on with Sense ROM's and I don't know if it's just an illusion but the music really does sound much more dynamic and impressive with it turned on. It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from dedicating myself to AOSP/AOKP.
So, I need to know if I'm going crazy or if the Beats software really is making that big of a difference. I wish I had an extra One with the same few tracks to test, but I don't.
In your experience, is Beats really making that much of an improvement, or has AOSP + DSP Manager been sufficient? Maybe an alternative to DSP Manager?

Beats extremely suck for electronic/rock/instrumental songs. They're pretty awesome for everything else Whether alternatives compare to it, no idea. Yet to unlock and root, gonna send mine back for a replacement for a faulty NFC chip~
In my opinion, beats is better
