Hi, I’m sry this post is long af but my brain he left for the milk and cigarettes
I’m just letting the voices out before I go do bad things… (Mr. dev if you don’t like torturing yourself just pls check at the end for some of mine feature requests/thoughts and hopefully you’d take a look whenever).
Hi, first of all, love Fxsound (muaaah), it’s chef kissed quality to me​
, but if you’re interested you’d wanna boil some water cuz I got some tea. So I decided to do a little funsie cuz why not testing Fxsound against the big-fabled and famously beloved Equalizer APO and Peace APO. Well, let me tell you how much pain and tears (inside
) I went through trying damn hard to speak love to PEACE, but hell to the nawr she’s just the meanest suka (russian) of all, man it felt so good to hit delete on that app like I was running free from an abusive relationship.
I walked into PEACE and Equalizer APO exactly how I go to that one famous Asian cuisine for the first time. You get handled out a 300 pages ancient menu (
) but in a foreign language you can’t read, but sometimes you’d see some random shits like chicken strips or french fries on there and I’d run script in my head “bby wtf this ain’t the place, why are these here, is this Asian-safe place orrr we’re starting a cult cuz i might gotta go”. This kind of bomb-ass restaurant is where you’d expect they’d treat you like a bastard child and get annoyed at how needy and yappy you are with the questions…but, buuuut the food is always bomb, that’s the rule that’s how you know it..
Until ms.Peace APO tossed me up and down like a ragged doll and that “GUI” should be put away in jail, the kitchen is dirty (it’s rough), and I went for a damn fried rice (EQ) yet they’d keep trying to pushing these 50 “authentic” meal courses up your way and the thing is they all feel the same just above mediocre cuz they’re just too many damn things to look into. I cried again and again when that suka PEACE freeze or jumping or you ask font 10 too small? no worries go 12 and words now get mushed in together voila… but at least I’m here for the infamous EQ right? well adjusting it with the knob or the graphs mode… that felt like it was Russian Roulette time bc wtf did I do wrong I didn’t even touch it and I listen 40% volume, how my Sennheiser M4 start popping ![]()
Tears ran dried love faded, brain rotted I read through the whooooole help book and frankly I would take a bullet to have read that much ever again in one go… just to find out the one thing I wanna try—EQ, works almost just the same as other software, and Imma call out the low latency, immediate change registed as you go (bitch how
the graph the knobs the everything were breaking their bones and blood from trying to move, (if I move 1 band, I gotta let it resolves before I dare touch another one). And I when I thought I’ve made it all, great set let’s go then I press the wrong “save” button which make that one built in preset override my setting cuz why not the auto-save as default preset then I remembered seeing it in their “bible” and panic clicking a few trying to stop it initializing, then Ms.Peace crashed out with her 200 knobs and buttons. Well I thought that was time to peace out, but ofc not I’d have to have to try it i’m in too deep phuuuuuckkk. Then after a few more beers I tried the final results, sounds was fine all I get to experience is the 1900 vintage graphical interface, that thing went through wars and back and had a family with great grand children and I would still haven’t been born. Normally I’m a horror fan, but I feel like stabbing more plugins and buttons Frankenstein style into ms.Peace is just ¯\\\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)\_/¯. I would set it on fire if they’d give me the honor, honestly I didn’t have beef with Equalizer APO at all, from the start I could just edit the config file and use EAPO stand alone in 20 mins altogether to mess around –> preset, yet I went hard and deep and now I’m left with lost hope and just a little left of brain. I also found out the autorun or whatever they call it was also not playing nice with EAPO configurator (right click on the preset would make + appear, click onto the odd human symbol butt on would also activate it and more they have 4 different types of automatic settings for you to feasts on!) but I’m glad that was a final stick to break and I couldn’t convict that app out of my pc any faster. Bottom line is I think the auto save features were impressive though I was over with that mean suka through and through.
Now I’m back to the sweet home, I feet like I could kiss everyone in the team on the cheeks so damn rough rn cuz you are those who have made Fxsound so much more pleasant to enjoy. Mother Catherine O’hara ![]()
can be my witness and she probably could never imagine how I lost my mind over ms.Peace APO… and I am scared of myself for how long this post is now.
Anywaayy, I hope the tea was teazing, I have a few thoughts about the new feature design where you set preset for each audio devices. I think there’s a little issue about the app will still remember old headphones even if I have already removed it out of bluetooth devices (forget device), I did reset physical device and in the companion mobile app as well, but umm now I still see like 8 variants of the same device (I also use the 3.5mm to usb-c and the usb-c cable so my sennheiser momentum 4 headphones would come as 3 variants already, but FXsounds still keeping the old ones (before resetting the headphones and such) and it adds on the new ones including the handsfree profile as well though I disabled the HFP and its services already). To put it shorter, now I have 8 Momentum 4 profiles showing in Fxsound preference setting (I get around fine with naming my headphones device based on connection type so just wanna point that now but no big problemo). Also would it be alright to keep it simpler UI
I like the idea of “elevator” (sorry i gotta name it) style to setup the preferences, but it is quite too small to fit in that little space and in my case it could get rough because you know damn right that I will click the wrong triangle ![]()
Thanks again, cheers! ![]()
