Multi channel recording studio...

Hey... I found a really cool recording studio app called Meteor
I installed the demo cab and it works like a charm (you just can't save your work on the demo version).
I'm amazed what our little phones are capable of doing. By the way... this is the first application I've seen where pinch to zoom is a real necessity. In fact... I always have it maximum zoomed and this way it's almost like a virtual desktop. (difficult to explain but I hope you know what I mean)

Not quite... Meteor is a multi-track recording studio that lets you record audio (guitar & voice for example) and process it in many ways. I'm amazed that it really works! But as I said... you need to enable pinch to zoom because the buttons are incredibly tiny!

oops!! lol there goes your weekends and any other free time you get! lmao.

Excellent! This will come in well handy!
Anyone know of a HD2 compatible version or something similar of this (see attached) ?
Would be really handy for doing rough mixes of my acoustic stuff!

Some nice apps on there. I just bought Chord Explorer, installed it ok but it will not start :-(. Tried re-installing on the phone memory, but still no good.
Anyone else had any problems?

I guess it would have to connect through the micro USB somehow, there's plenty of USB 2.0 mics around but I doubt they'd be compatible via a micro USB/USB 2.0 adapter?
To be fair though the sound quality of the phone mic isn't that bad for low level stuff, I'm amazed at what this phone can do!!
Thanks again for the heads up about MeTeor, excellent find!

Damn, love that Meteor-program!!! Allright, took some definite tweaking before it worked well enough to be functional on the hd2.
But now i've got a working 12 track harddisk recording system in cd-quality in my pocket....for only 30 bucks??!!!
I LOVE my HD2!!!!!
Thanx a million Tubgirl

I think the USB-Mic won't work...problem starts with drivers and ends up with 5V power-supply....

Well, the power-supply could be solved with internal batteries in the mic itself, or just using a dynamic microphone (needs no power to operate)....but drivers are probably the biggest issue...don't even know if one can even write driver software to WinMo, just like it's done to Vista etc.... ??

Yes it's incredible that it really works.
Do you want to share what tweaking you have done?

Well shure, I am afraid its a bit complicated. I'll try and see if I can describe it in a way that makes sense .
The first problem one might experience, at least i did on mine (using official htc 1.66 rom), is crackles, pops and dropouts in your recordings. This can be corrected with some adjustments to audiobuffersettings and the cachesize set by Meteor for your sd-card.
1. You need to find the "PREFS.xml"-file, in the Meteor directory. For me it would be here: My Phone\Memorycard\programs\Meteor\
2. You will need a browser that can open and edit XML-files, I used Adobe Dreamweaver.
3. Open the PREFS.xml and adjust the following:
AudioBufferSize="2048" -> AudioBufferSize="4096"
AudioBufferCount="32" -> AudioBufferCount="64"
ReadCacheSize="32768" -> ReadCacheSize="131072"
WriteCacheSize="65536" -> WriteCacheSize="262144"
These are maximum settings, and all in coherrence with what the manual suggests for troubleshooting by the way: View attachment Meteor_manual.zip
THE SECOND PROBLEM with the HD 2 as a multitrack harddisc recorder, as with any DAW-system, is mainly the question of latency.
(for info on DAW, check this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation)
Latency refers to how long the system (meaning processor, RAM, disc etc) is to actually process the sound converted (ADC), recorded, replayed & deconverted (DAC) again.
For the DAW to work properly (avoiding sync-issues between different recordings), it most know its own latency - hence the calibrating/strange beeps when running Meteor the first time.
Only thing is, that even though HD 2 is fast, it appears to have either a slow soundcard/ADC-DAC-converter or pourly written driversoftware to support it. Either way, at least on my phone, Meteor simply cannot deliver ENOUGH LATENCY, to compensate sync-issues, especially not with the above buffer and cachesettings set to maximum, not even with "Synchronize Audio Threads" under <setup> ticked (Which should be done by the way!).
There is a workaround though, but it requires you to know with what BPM (120 bpm being default) you are running during your current recording session and what latency will fit the current bpm you are running with.
The point is that you SIMPLY ADJUST the recording BACK according to your starting point of recording.
EXAMPLE:
You plan to record on track one at 120 bpm, so you set the cursor at the 1-figure at the ruler in the upperbar. you then set your latency under "setup\audio setup" to "940 ms".
Press record. When finished recording you highlight the recording and simply drag it 1-line back (NOT 1-bar, but 1/4 of a bar).
Repeat this for next recording on track 2 or any other, still keeping the 1-ruler as starting point, and you should have two recordings in perfect sync!
This should of course be repeated for every new recording...always dragging it 1-line back to keep sync.
You can test this yourself by the way, by turning on the metronome letting it play thru the HD 2's speakers, simultanously recording it. Drag the recording back, and when playedback, still with the metronome on, you should hear the recording and the metronome playing synchronized. If it is NOT in sync, you need to adjust latency, untill it is, testing with the metronome as above.
120 bpm = 940 ms latency works on my system, but I have no idea if it will work as a standard on all hd 2 phones. Problem is also, that when changing the bpm, you will also have to adjust latency. But assuming that there is some consistency thru this on most HD 2 (though rom and tweaks probably have a huge influence on this), i have here made a list of these values with what bpm = latency: View attachment Latency.zip
Quite complex instructions, hope this will help though. Welcome to ask for clarification, and I'll see if can answer accordingly
Have fun!

Captivate "WOW" Moments

As much as we all like to complain about our cappy's, one thing that we cannot argue about is how handy they are. I remember when having an html browser on your phone was a big deal.
I'm curious as to how you guys and girls use your captivates, that have caused a "WOW" moment among family, friends or casual acquaintance's.
I have one, to share for now,
I have my PC hooked to my tv and run movies through VLC media player. I use VLCremote to control vlc through wifi. Every time someone sees me use my phone to select a movie off my pc, and play it on the tv, they have an absolute fit, and don't believe that I am controlling the movie with my phone.
I have to let them play with it before it sinks in that it is possible. Then, even when they have control. they still have this puzzled look on their face.
Its one of those things that I can't get bored of doing to people, and it always seems to have the same effect!

This is kind of an Android thing but a simple live wallpaper still amazes my friends.

I have "Wow that was retarded" moments.

i navigate my media too using PlugPlayer, and windows media sharing service.
but i also get a kick out of syncing my bluetooth keyboard to my phone.
my keyboard has a touchpad on it and i can navigate my captivate with a mouse cursor!!

Play movies then stream from phone to ps3...

My best wow moments are whenever I use Subsonic or Audiogalaxy to access my music collection at home and with the Voodoo sound enhancements, my captivate has completely replaced my iPod classic.
Allshare is also amazing. It's fun to be able to stream TV shows to the phone
And one of the most amazing things to me is that my Captivate has become a universal remote of sorts. I use it to control Media Player Classic, foobar2000, itunes and a few other aspects of my computer. That's what usually impresses my friends the most

The nice and bright screen catches the eye of everyone at my work.

when i first got it, coming from an iphone 2g, the screen blew me away. then i started using it, and had a lot of "wow this sucks" moments.
oh, and voodoo lagfix was a wow moment. and lcddensity.

Vnc through my phone to my computer over 3g for a remote desktop, and ssh through my phone.

I love how flexible Android is with all of the apps and the awesomeness of GPL.
As mentioned, VLC Remote is awesome to use in your home theater.
Mythmote lets me control all of my Mythfrontend boxes.
Chrome to Phone (and Fox to Phone in FF) with Bookmark to Desktop lets me seamlessly move between my phone and desktop as computing devices.
Firebird 2 kernel gives me BLN, the ability to mount CIFS shares, and use OpenVPN to get at my files that I don't want to trust to Dropbox even gives other Captivate owner a 'wow' moment.
Using ConnectBot to SSH to different systems at home to move around files or anything else is awesome.
RDP/VNC connectivity, Transdroid, Wifi Analyzer, and the free Square card reader and app just add to the awesomeness of Android.
Last, but not least, the combination of Titanium Backup and the amazing Devs here at XDA make it possible to reinstall my phone (a concept complete foreign to almost everyone else) at a moment's notice.

Any "Wow" moments that I have had with my captivate, is thanks to the Android OS and how versatile it is...like the very first time I used the bar code scanner to pull up merchandise online. In reguards to the actual phone itself, the only time I had a "Wow" moment was when i installed a custom ROM for the first time and realized how much faster, more responsive, and smoother it is capable of running.

Taking panoramics of the redwoods in muir woods this past weekend was pretty Wow!

Controlling XBMC from the phone with the app was amazing and works so well. Similarly, playing files over the network and using the phone as a touchpad for my PC with Gmote is also a really cool experience.

The screen size never stops to amaze my friends. Whenever my cappy gets on my pocket everyone is like Oh my god o.o thats a huge screen, how can you even hold it etc.. xD

Whipping out pandora at a party, hooked into a stereo. the screen if course is very impressive to everyone.

Mine was probably when I was using poweramp and I turned the bass up really high, and my stereo speakers vibrated so much that stuff was falling off my desk. Then I got a call, and my ringtone is that Nokia tune (lol, don't judge me) and it turned my "wow" into a "lol"

LOL! same!
they're also amazed by the 3d APP DRAWER
;D

when people see how thin the naked phone is they are usually impressed. people dont have the slightest clue what this is. many droid x's and fascinates here but no captivates. people like verizon i guess. the att users have iphails, and most of them have broken screens with screen protectors put over it after the fact to avoid cutting there fingers. (no insurance is a ***** ain't it, seriously i know 3 people with iphone4's and they all have broken glass and live with it)
i use graphing calculator apps to plot the movement of a piston in an engine to demostrate the effects of connecting rod length to people and to calculate actual compression ratios based on valve closing angle. people are amazed when they see a phone with such versitle calculators. i did the same on my iphone too. there are even apps out there that can graph equations with 3 vaiables in 3d space.
i also have a samsung dlna plasma screen tv. movie sharing is always impressive to people.

wow at hsupa and smooth kernels

I dont think that hsupa is enabled on my Rogers captivate... Wow

[APP] AirStream - AirPlay your Music from your Android

Hi all,
I know there are several apps who allow you to emulate the AirPlay function on your android device, but I was rather surprised to see that this one wasn't mentioned anywhere on the forums. Basically in 1 step you can use the AirPlay from your Android device.
I use Spotify a lot and after buying a Sony CMT-BT80WB which has Bluetooth®, NFC, Wi-Fi, DLNA and AirPlay it was very disappointing to find out that the new Spotify Connect feature doesn't work with it. However with this app it works like a charm I've been using the app for a couple of days and it works so well that I paid for it right away - yes, you can pay for it if you don't want interruptions, but for making AirPlay possible straight from my Android it's well worth to pay a couple of bucks.

Needless to say that it's not my app - just wanted to share with anyone who had the same issues as I had.

Great that you wrote this thread! Im about to purchase a LG G2. I now have a iphone and ipad plus two airport express'es that I Airplay to without any trouble. And i want to keep using airplay when i purchase an android phone, as bluetooth sucks in comparison.
I havent found any video at all showing how well AirStream or AirAudio works. Could anyone please record a video that shows how it works. Is it as easy and as good as on an iOS-device? Any hiccups?
How do you control volume? How do you activate Airplay? Like slide down the top bar and activate it?
Please show it off before i go buy myself an lg g2 and start rooting to notice it doesnt work as i expect it to!?
Thank you!

I've been playing with all of these apps over the last week or so but am hitting some problems. I used something called AirAudio to stream ANY sounds playing on one device to another (This is perfect for things like Spotify etc.). I massively recommend AirAudio as an app to test out.
I have a couple of old android phones setup around my house which have speakers connected to them. I run Bubbleupnp on each of those devices which then effectively sets them up as DLNA libraries and renderers. I have two other devices setup - an android tablet and a QNAP NAS. My QNAP NAS supports DLNA and this is where my music library is stored. The android tablet is used as a controller, again running Bubbleupnp, where I can choose the NAS as the library and either of the android devices as speakers. This works great.
One problem is that with Bubbleupnp, it is only possible to select one renderer which means it is not possible to stream to multiple speakers at the same time. E.g. I want to stream to my kitchen and my living room at the same time with the music completely in sync. Another problem is that when using Bubbleupnp, music sent to the renderer must be from a library and cannot be live streaming on the controller device (E.g. Spotify, Youtube etc.).
I then found AirAudio which actually fixed both of the issue (Sort of). Firstly, when running AirAudio on a rooted device, you can push any sounds from the controller device to any of the DLNA renderers (E.g. Spotify). Secondly, it is possible to stream to multiple DLNA renderers at the same time (Obviously, Bubbleupnp still needs to be running on these devices to make them DLNA devices). The only problem here is that when sending to multiple renderers at the same time, they are not in sync. The is due to the actual streaming being performed on the individual devices and therefore they all perform differently.
I emailed the AirAudio development team and they were extremely helpful in explaining the details of this to me and even recommended some other apps to try which might help. The apps which they recommended were Android HiFi and AirBubble where it is possible to set different delays for the different renderers. I am yet to actually try this yet as I imagine that the delay is not exactly the same each time I try and play music and therefore the delay will need to be altered regularly (Bit of pain).
This whole problem is a limitation of DLNA - you cannot synchronise multiple devices. Apparently you can synchronise multiple AirPlay devices?
So, after all of that, my question is, 'Is it possible to turn an Android device into a AirPlay device?' The developers at AirAudio seemed to think that audio synchronisation of AirPlay receivers for Android is not supported, if this is true, does anyone know why? Seems mad that something as powerful as an Android phone can't be an AirPlay device.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dan

[APP][2.3.3+]MediaBowl - Seamless media sharing across handsets using WiFi

MediaBowl application allows for seamless sharing and playing of media files across Android phones and tablets within the proximity of a WiFi network or WiFi hotspot hosted by one of the Android device.
The app has a very simple and intuitive interface to make connections between a small group of people, share and play the media files just as if all the shared files existed locally on each handset.
Connected sessions between users is referred to as "party". Party is started by a host and guests join. Host and guests share media files with each other by adding them into party Bowl. Once a media file is in Bowl it is accessible to all in the party.
Features:-
- Automatically finds hosts in a WiFi network
- Host approves a guest to join a party session
- Music, Pictures and Videos are streamed in real-time to playing device and are never copied.
- Simultaneously plays remote file and streams local files to multiple connected devices.
- Background streaming to allow user to make phone calls or other things in foreground.
- App automatically quits in the absence of network connection (after 30 sec timeout)
The free application is available on Google play store. You can find and download by searching for "MediaBowl" on the google play store. Or you can download the attached APK.
Some situations in which this app can be used are,
- You carry a tablet and a mobile phone with you. Media files are scattered across the two and you would have to switch between the devices when your selections for playing are not in one place. Use MediaBowl to pool them together and play as if they are in one place.
- On an outing, you and your friends all take pictures on phones and when you are in the vehicle to return or to go next destination, all of you exchange phones to show the many pictures each has taken. Instead use MediaBowl to share the pictures and so each of you can see all the pictures taken by all of you in your own phone.
- You and some colleagues are carpooling or travel to and from office in Cab together. The travel time can be made entertaining if all of you could exchange and play your personal music, videos and pictures with each other. Use MediaBowl to serve and play media files by streaming them in real-time between handsets.
- You have some interesting pictures or videos from a personal/family event that you want to share with your friends. You normally show from your phone and is inconveniencing if one of you gets a call. Instead Use MediaBowl to stream your pictures and videos to your friend’s handset in the background. So your friends can play the media in their phones while you carry on with your activity using your phone.
Please use the app and give your valuable feedback. I will try and fix any bugs or shortcomings as soon they are reported. Thank you in advance.

Great app! Please add DLNA suport for TVs.

Very interesting app. Kind of reminds me of turning your phone/tablet into one of those portable wireless hard drives. I will give this a go when I get home.

Fantastic app, works flawlessly. Good job devs

This might have a little improvement, but theres already an app doing that. 'FlashShare'
*add*
Besides, i dont find the name "Media Bowl" kool, may be Dev should check another.
Keeps popping up "No network connection" Network connection for what?

almost the same functions like samsungs share app

Very flawed app, people want an app with which you'll
be able to play the same file on multiple devices IN SYNC!!!
If I wanted to play the song on someone elses phone I'd just
send it by bluetooth. This app would be great if you were able to
use one device as the source and play music off both devices at
the same time... Otherwise it's just a gimmick and has been done
before...

And as @its_Khal has said, the name is pretty crap,
'Party Stream' or something similar might be a better idea.

Not sure I understand your usage case. Why would you want to play the same song on 2 different devices in sync? To see how loud you could blast one song using multiple device speakers? Also, you could use Bluetooth to send a song but sending anything bigger than that like large video files would be slow in comparison to wifi. Plus if you're sharing with more than one person this app would be easier and faster.
I do agree though that the name could use more work.

What most people thought this was, was a copy of Samsung's Group play.
Group Play uses Wi-Fi Direct to play music through several devices at the same time.
It gives you the option of assigning channels to each device so you can have a stereo

Why would someone want to do that? Most smartphone speakers don't even come close to true stereo speakers. Not to mention they don't come close to the range of true stereo speakers so the sound would be mediocre at best. The group play "feature" is more of a gimmick. Plus, how often are you with a group of people that want to link their phones together to form a makeshift 5.1 speaker set with their phone? Btw, not singling you out. I would ask Samsung this same question myself if I could.

Damn just downloaded the app in the thought It could play music synced between multiple Android devices
and then I realised this is the only function this app can't do xD
--> Deinstalled (Also it crashed a lot!)
I have multiple hi-fi systems and multiple Android devices and want to play music on all systems the same time,
this way I could set up all my hi-fi systems to act as one big system without wiring them all together...
Ok,now searching somewehere else for an app that can do this.

My favorite feature

Using the secondary display as and application switcher. I really hope LG expands on this.

The 4 way DAC, with a semi-decent connected headphone and listening to a local FLAC, at least 24\96, has made me grateful we evolved with 2 ears. Led Zeppelin (the 45 RPM version )with the V-Moda wireless (though connected with it's included braided cable) has opened music, that I know very well, in a wonderful manner.
I had the Sony MDR7506 at 63 ohms and it made the hair stand up. I've returned it and ordered the BeyerDynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohms Studio Headphones. High Definition music, and a headphone that triggers the DAC, will make every other phone, you have listened to, into a Hodor. My mobile phone music player history goes back to the Seimens SX66 (from 2004) and 20 or so other phones that could play locally stored music. This thing is a beast.

Good stuff!

When I was considering the V20 I was like, ok it has good audio, but whatever. I focused more on the removable battery, screen size, second screen and overall specs.
After trying the DAC with my Audio Technica noise cancelling headphones I am like WOW! And that's with no special music, just regular mp3s. Is like that every instrument and voice is in the room next to you when the DAC is activated! I am glad that LG took the effort to develop a high quality feature. Now I don't mind that I paid the early adopter fee (usually after few months phones like these are much cheaper on eBay) of paying regular price.
My other favorite and more practical feature is the second screen. I was used to the LED of my Nexus 5 and was a little bit concerned about getting used to the second screen. That said I usually look at my phone from 1-2 feet anyway when I want to check for new notifications and in this context the second is much better because I can see the notification icons.
The second screen can be used to control your music as well!

The only annoying thing about music player on second screen is that when playing music on lockscreen it doesn't stay on music player (it keeps going back to default screen). I have to keep swiping it back to music screen everytime I want to change a song.

This evening I went to a small recital to try and record in 24\192 again. My 2 previous shows had been disappointments with the result. It was mostly my fault but I took steps to correct my methods. Wow! I don't what the 2 auto modes are for but when I managed the gain and clipping in the manual mode, I got HD tracks that are worthy of commercial releases. One I got my fat fingers out of the way, and started sampling the results, between songs, this is my next favorite feature.
I also love the removable battery and SD card slot but I have had 3 LG phones before and trusted the engineering.

If your headphones have controls (specifically an answer/disconnect button) you can double tap the answer button to skip to the next song.

The 4 way DAC, with a semi-decent connected headphone and listening to a local FLAC, at least 24\96, has made me grateful we evolved with 2 ears. Led Zeppelin (the 45 RPM version )with the V-Moda wireless (though connected with it's included braided cable) has opened music, that I know very well, in a wonderful manner.
I had the Sony MDR7506 at 63 ohms and it made the hair stand up. I've returned it and ordered the BeyerDynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohms Studio Headphones. High Definition music, and a headphone that triggers the DAC, will make every other phone, you have listened to, into a Hodor. My mobile phone music player history goes back to the Seimens SX66 (from 2004) and 20 or so other phones that could play locally stored music. This thing is a beast.

Enjoy those headphones. Not the most musical but still very good and great for critical listening.
