MyTone EQ App User Guide
1. Equalizer Switch and Status Indicator
ON/OFF Switch: Tap to toggle the audio processing engine on or off. It is recommended to pause playback before switching to avoid auditory discomfort caused by sudden volume shifts when effects are applied or removed.
Status Light: Displays the real-time processing state:
Green: Playback detected; the audio engine is running normally.
Orange: Standby mode; the engine is ready but no audio is currently playing.
Red: Audio engine failed to start or was interrupted (possibly due to hardware resources being occupied by another app).
Hidden Feature: If the effect is lost, triple-tap the status light to force a re-initialization of the audio engine.
2. Sound Presets
Tap the dropdown menu to select a preset (e.g., Vocal Clear, Bass Boost). Any manual adjustments to the bands will be automatically saved for the current preset, allowing you to personalize the sound for different audio equipment or headphones.
3. Input Gain
Adjust the volume compensation before it enters the equalizer (range: -15dB to +15dB). It is recommended to decrease the input gain when bands are significantly boosted to avoid audio distortion or clipping.
4. Audio Visualization Permission Button
Granting "Record Audio" (RECORD_AUDIO) permission unlocks visualization features, including: Spectrum and Waveform (11.), Media Player Panel (12.), Limiter (13.), and Volume Meter (14.). If permission is denied, the equalizer effects will still function normally.
5. EQ Band Sliders
Provides individual gain sliders for each frequency band, allowing you to precisely fine-tune the intensity of specific audio frequencies.
6. Reset Button
Triple-tap: Resets the frequency bands of the currently selected preset to their default values.
Long press: Opens a dialog to reset all presets in all EQ modes to factory defaults.
7. Theme Style

12. Media Player Controller
Control your music (Play, Pause, Previous, and Next) directly within the app without switching back and forth.
13. Limiter Settings
When processed audio exceeds 0dB, the Limiter prevents digital clipping and unpleasant high-frequency noise. Tap to switch between 4 modes: OFF, Soft, Balanced, and Hard.
14. Volume Meter and Clip Light
Displays the real-time decibel (dB) level. When the output volume exceeds 0dB, the Clip light will turn red, warning of potential digital distortion.

Sound Preset Descriptions
🔹 Section 1: Daily Utility
Design Core: Frequency correction, functional focus, environmental compensation.
1. Balance
Design Philosophy: Strives for an absolutely flat frequency response, free from any artificial coloration.
Key Features: Neutral response with no boost or cut, preserving the raw digital integrity of the audio. Serves as the ultimate baseline for testing headphone acoustic characteristics and high-resolution master tracks.
Recommended Use: Studio monitoring, testing new equipment, and seeking unadulterated, true-to-source audio reproduction.
2. Bass Boost
Design Philosophy: Maximizes sub-bass extension and physical punch while maintaining vocal clarity.
Key Features: Precisely enhances the ultra-low frequencies from 31Hz to 125Hz, delivering chest-resonating tactile impact rather than muddy booming.
Recommended Use: Power walking/workouts, listening to large-scale orchestral pieces (enhancing timpani), and enjoying immersive heavy bass.
3. Vocal Clear
Design Philosophy: Overcomes background instrumentation masking vocals, making the performer feel like they are standing right in front of you.
Key Features: Suppresses lower-midrange mud and applies subtle gain in the 1kHz–4kHz vocal core range to enhance detail and transparency.
Recommended Use: Pop music, TV shows, YouTube talk shows, and language learning.
4. Podcast
Design Philosophy: Optimized for speech intelligibility to eliminate listening fatigue during long commutes or bedtime listening.
Key Features: Steeply rolls off frequencies below 125Hz to reduce nasal resonance and plosives, while taming sharp highs above 8kHz to prevent harsh sibilance fatigue.
Recommended Use: Podcasts, online courses, news broadcasts, and audiobooks.
5. Late Night
Design Philosophy: Addresses the psychoacoustic issue of audio thinning out at low volumes (equal-loudness compensation).
Key Features: Automatically compensates for the low and high-frequency details that the human ear loses perception of at low listening volumes, ensuring rich and layered sound even at whisper-quiet levels.
Recommended Use: Late-night listening when high volumes aren't appropriate, office background music, and relaxing nighttime listening.
🔹 Section 2: Entertainment
Design Core: Spatial staging, environmental dynamics, immersive experience.
6. Pop
Design Philosophy: Classic V-shaped tuning (Smile Curve) that makes music sound more vibrant and energetic.
Key Features: Simultaneously boosts lows and highs while widening the soundstage, making kick drums and percussion (like tambourines and cymbals) crisp and brilliant.
Recommended Use: Pop music, EDM, and party tracks.
7. Cinema
Design Philosophy: Simulates the reflections and resonance of a grand acoustic space to maximize cinematic atmosphere and dramatic impact.
Key Features: Enhances 31Hz explosive impact and 16kHz ambient air. A purposefully distanced midrange creates the illusion of sound projecting from a massive theater screen.
Recommended Use: Blockbuster movies, TV series, and epic war films.
8. Gaming
Design Philosophy: Competitive-focused tuning to maximize spatial awareness and tactical audio cues.
Key Features: Suppresses low frequencies to prevent explosions from masking critical details, while applying aggressive gain from 2kHz to 6kHz to sharpen footsteps, reloading sounds, and distant gunfire.
Recommended Use: FPS games, survival games, and competitive online multiplayer games.
9. Retro
Design Philosophy: Eliminates modern digital harshness to restore the warm, smooth listening experience of the analog era.
Key Features: Heavily rolls off high frequencies above 4kHz to simulate the physical characteristics of magnetic tape or vinyl records, combined with rich lower-mids to create a matte, nostalgic, and mellow timbre.
Recommended Use: Lo-Fi music, vintage movie soundtracks, warming up cold recordings, and eliminating high-frequency fatigue.
🔹 Section 3: Musical Genres
Design Core: Preserving soulful details, enhancing instrument textures.
10. Hip Hop & EDM
Design Philosophy: Tailored for intense beats and synthesizers, delivering heart-pounding, high-impact hits.
Key Features: Features punchier sub-bass pulses than standard Bass Boost, paired with crisp highs to give electronic rhythms high aggression and infectious groove.
Recommended Use: Rap, Trap, Dubstep, and House music.
11. Rock & Metal
Design Philosophy: Emphasizes the raw tearing power of electric guitars and the solid thump of acoustic kick drums.
Key Features: Boosts 250Hz–500Hz to add body to electric guitars, while peaking at 4kHz to give snare drums and string plucks metallic sheen and punch.
Recommended Use: Heavy metal, hard rock, punk, and britrock.
12. Acoustic & Soft
Design Philosophy: Pursues a natural, warm, and entirely stress-free transparent acoustic experience.
Key Features: Gently elevates the mid-range to give acoustic guitars and pianos a woody warmth, while smoothly rolling off highs to eliminate any harshness, delivering silk-like smoothness.
Recommended Use: Folk plucking, solo piano, study background music, and pure audio purists.
13. Classical
Design Philosophy: Simulates the spatial scale and instrumental balance of a large concert hall, emphasizing "air" and depth.
Key Features: Solidifies the foundation with ultra-low frequencies while enhancing transparency above 12kHz, allowing string reverberations to extend naturally. Focuses on soundstage width and depth rather than isolated instruments.
Recommended Use: Symphonies, chamber music, and orchestral works.
14. Jazz & Blues
Design Philosophy: Creates an intimate, smoky lounge atmosphere, highlighting instrumental textures and timbres.
Key Features: Centers around 125Hz–500Hz to make saxophones and double basses sound rich and magnetic, with slightly subdued highs to establish a deep, moody ambiance.
Recommended Use: Jazz, blues, soul music, and smoky vocal performances.
