Filter non-song files and folders

After the function is enabled, after the scanning is completed, the folder module of the local song will only display the folders with the songs after entering the directory. Note: Turn on the switch directly if the song is not scanned, and entering the folder directory may appear empty.

*** Do not scan songs below 500KB***

After the function is enabled, when scanning songs, audio files with song file size less than 500KB will be automatically filtered. This type of file is generally audio files such as ringtones, SMS sounds, etc. The switch is on by default.

*** Songs that don't scan for 60 seconds***

After the function is enabled, when scanning songs, audio files with audio duration less than 60 seconds will be automatically filtered. This type of file is generally audio files such as ringtones, SMS sounds, etc. The switch is on by default.

Create playlists based on m3u files while scanning

After the function is enabled, when scanning songs, the corresponding playlist will be automatically created based on the scanned m3u file, and the switch will be turned off by default.

MQA decoding and recognition

After the function is enabled, it will automatically identify whether the song is an MQA song during the scanning process. Due to the MQA song recognition mechanism, the efficiency of scanning songs will be reduced and the scanning time will be greatly increased. If there is no MQA function requirement, it is recommended to turn off the switch, and the switch will be turned off by default.

3. Dark night

Sea Shell Music can be set to a dark black theme.

4. Select color

Sea shell music can be set to a white theme and customize the colors of some icons.

2.7 Equalizer

Also known as the chart equalizer, through the distribution of push-pull keys on the panel, the called equalization compensation curve can be visually reflected, and the increase and attenuation of each frequency are clear at a glance. It adopts constant Q value technology, and each frequency point is equipped with a push-pull potentiometer. Regardless of increasing or attenuating a certain frequency, the frequency bandwidth of the filter remains unchanged. The commonly used professional graphic equalizer divides the 20Hz~20kHz signal into 10 segments, 15 segments, 27 segments, and 31 segments for adjustment. In this way, people choose frequency equalizers with different segments according to different requirements. Generally speaking, the frequency points of the 10-segment equalizer are distributed at octave intervals. In general, the 15-segment equalizer is a 2/3-osegment equalizer. In professional sound augmentation, the 31-segment equalizer is a 1/3-osegment equalizer. Most of the more important occasions that require fine compensation, the graphic equalizer is simple and intuitive, so it is widely used in professional audio.

2.7.1 Parameter settings

16k－20kHz

Entertainment of hearing***: Many people may not hear this frequency. Therefore, not hearing this frequency does not mean that the equipment cannot be played back, and of course it does not mean that your hearing is not good enough. Only few people can hear 20kHz. This frequency can affect the richness of high frequency and the overall sense of space. Too little frequency will make people warm, while too much will create a sense of emptiness. Representative musical instruments: overtones of electronic sounds, guzheng and piano.

12k－16kHz

Earning Effect***: This frequency can affect the overall ethereal inspiration. The so-called "rosin smell" of the violin is determined by this frequency. Too little of this frequency will cause the instrument to lose its personality, and too much will produce a cold burr. In post-processing, this frequency will often beautify with an exciter. *** Representative musical instruments: high-frequency overtones of percussion instruments such as cymbals, bells, tambourines, sand hammers, copper brushes, triangular irons, etc.

8k－12kHz

Enering Effect***: 8~12kHz is the treble zone of the music. Appropriate highlighting (below 5dB) will greatly help the level of the speaker and will also make people feel that the treble is rich. However, too much will increase the background sound, for example: the noise of the system (sound card, sound source) will be clearly displayed, and it will also make people feel chilled and sharp. If this section is lacking, the sound will lack texture. Representative musical instruments: treble wind instruments such as flute, oboe, trumpet, and piccolo.

2k－8kHz

Earning affects***: This frequency affects the details of the voice the most. If this frequency component is missing, the tone will become insufficient; if this frequency component is too many, the tone will become cold, and the vocals may appear tooth sound. This frequency is usually beautified by a compressor. Representative instruments: some female voices and most blowing instruments.

1.2kHz

Earning Effect***: 1.2kHz can be a little more, but it should not exceed 3dB. However, too much will make the sound astringent.

800Hz

Entertainment of hearing***: This frequency amplitude affects the strength of the tone. If this frequency is full, the tone will appear strong and powerful; if this frequency is insufficient, the tone will appear loose, that is, the component characteristics below 800Hz are prominent, and the low-frequency components will be obvious; and if this frequency is too much, a guttural sensation will be produced. If there are too many guttural sounds, the personality of the voice will be lost. Appropriate guttural sounds can increase sexiness. Therefore, audio players call this frequency "dangerous frequency" and should be used with caution. Representative instruments: vocals, some percussion instruments.

300－500Hz

Entertainment of the listening experience: The sound in the 300-500Hz frequency band mainly expresses the vocals (singing, reciting). This frequency band can express the thickness and strength of the vocals. Better, the vocals will be enthusiastic and powerful and clear, otherwise they will be thin and powerless. Representative instrument: vocals.

150－300Hz

Earning Effect***: This frequency affects the strength of the sound, especially the strength of the male voice. This frequency is the low-frequency base frequency of male voice and the root frequency of chords in musical tones. The sound in the 80-160Hz frequency band mainly expresses the thick feeling of the music. If the audio plays well in this part, you will feel that the music is thick and confident. If this part performs well, it won't even feel a lack of bass when it's lacking below 80Hz. If you perform poorly, the music will feel like a headshot. It is the upper limit of playback for many subwoofer speakers, which can determine the upper limit of your subwoofer speaker frequency. Representative instrument: male voice.

60－100Hz

Earning sense affects: This frequency affects the sense of power of the sound, which is the base sound area of the bass. If this frequency is full, the tone will appear thick and majestic. If this frequency is insufficient, the tone will become weak; if this frequency is too strong, the tone will have a low-frequency resonance sound, which will feel like a roar. Representative instruments: big drums, timpani drums, and a few instruments with extremely low frequency such as pianos, cellos, and large sizes.

0－60Hz

Earning sense affects: This frequency affects the spatial sense of the tone, because the basic notation of the musical tone is mostly above this frequency. This frequency is the resonant frequency of a room or hall. This frequency is difficult to express. In some HiFi speakers, this frequency is not hesitant to cut it off to ensure the consistency and audibility of the tone.

2.8 PEQ

Also known as parameter equalizer, an equalizer that can be carefully adjusted for various parameters of equalization adjustment. It is mostly attached to the mixer, but there are also independent parameter equalizers. The parameters of adjustment include frequency bands (such as low, medium, medium and high and high frequencies, etc.), frequency points (sweeping, can be selected arbitrarily), gain (decreasing amount) and quality factor Q (bandwidth, with any adjustable and high Q and low Q selections), etc. It is generally used to subjectively adjust the sound, and for the needs of artistic creation, it is specially processed for the sound signal. The parameters of adjustment include frequency bands (such as low, medium, medium and high and high frequencies, etc.), frequency points (sweeping, can be selected arbitrarily), gain (decreasing amount) and quality factor Q (bandwidth, with any adjustable and high Q and low Q selections), etc., such as the parameter equalizer can beautify (including ugliness) and modify the sound, making the sound (or music) style more distinctive and colorful, and achieve the required artistic effect.

2.8.1 Parameter settings

Frequency Parameters: Sets the specific frequency band you want to equalize the sound frequency band. Power and attenuation parameters: Determines how much you want to boost or attenuate the selected frequency band. Bandwidth, resonance or Q value parameters: This parameter determines whether the lift or attenuation curve is narrow and sharp or wide and smooth. The narrower bandwidth settings (i.e., higher resonance or Q value) allow the equalizer to operate only one very narrow audio band, while the wider setting values allow the wider audio band.

Use adjustment method Parameter equalization in the processor generally has three adjustment parameters, one is the center frequency (F), one is the bandwidth (BW or Q), and the other is the gain amount (GAIN). Everyone generally knows the frequency and gain, but it is mainly difficult to master the bandwidth parameter. The equalizer is actually a filter. The concept of bandwidth is the adjustment width of this filter, that is, the size of the adjustment range. It can be expressed by bandwidth (BW) or Q value. The bandwidth value is in units of octave (oct), and the Q value is directly expressed by numbers. The larger the bandwidth data, the wider the adjustment range, and the smaller the adjustment range; If expressed by the Q value, it is exactly the opposite. The larger the Q value, the sharper the filter and the smaller the adjustment range. For example, when the bandwidth is 0.3oct or the Q value is 3, after selecting the frequency, the adjustment range is the same as the general 31-segment equalizer adjustment range. When the bandwidth is 0.6oct or the Q value is 1.5, the adjustment range is close to the 15-segment equalizer.

**When using parameter equalization, if you still have doubts about these concepts, you can try two adjustment methods like this: **

1. First select a frequency based on your own experience, then adjust the gain, then change the data size of the bandwidth or Q value, try repeatedly to find the most suitable position.
2. If you can't determine the frequency, you can first set the bandwidth or Q value to 0.3 or 3, and then change the frequency (that is, sweep frequency), and finally find the appropriate frequency point, and then adjust it more carefully according to the above method.
3. If you use the spectrum meter to adjust, based on the display of the spectrum, first find the frequency of the center point of the peak or valley, then attenuate or increase, and then see that the peak or valley displayed on the spectrum gradually flattened, then adjust the bandwidth to make the curve smoother

2.12.10 HiBy Music exclusively accounts for USB output

After turning on, when connecting the USB decoder, a prompt to connect the decoder will pop up. After clicking confirmation, HiBy Music will bypass the Android audio and directly output the decoded source data to the USB sound card, thereby bypassing the Android audio output. Therefore, the output quality is not limited by the Android system, but is directly decoded and output by the USB sound card.

2.12.11 USB output settings

Enter this setting interface, you can set USB exclusive settings to solve or optimize the problems encountered when using sound cards.

USB Audio Performance Mode

Enable this function can solve the problem of lag on some phones and may not have any effect on some phones.

USB Audio volume lock

Lock all If the connected USB sound card has a volume control button, it is recommended to set it to lock all to ensure that the sound card inputs the most complete audio data stream. Lock only DSD If the normal audio format is normal when playing with a USB sound card, and the DSD audio format is not normal, it means that the decoder does not support the volume adjustment of DSD, so when playing DSD songs, the sound will be abnormal. At this time, the setting is changed to lock DSD only, which means that the volume set on the APP does not take effect on the DSD songs, thereby increasing the experience. Not locked Because some USB sound cards themselves do not support adjusting the volume, such as decoding cables, small tails, etc., but the user's headphones do not have the function of adjusting the volume, it is set to not locked at this time. You can adjust the volume on the software through the HiBy Music APP, and indirectly reduce the output volume by modifying the db value output by the audio data stream.

USB Audio DSD Gain Compensation

This function is mainly used on sound cards that support DSD sound source playback. Because there are some small differences in the playback sound of the DSD sound source and the sound of other formats, by adjusting the DSD gain compensation, the listening volume of the DSD music is adjusted to increase the same as other music to increase the user experience.

USB Audio Bus Speed

Generally, it is the default value. Because the USB sound card devices on the market are uneven, some sound cards do not all support the current two mainstream bus speeds, which causes HiBy Music to not accurately adapt to the bus speed supported by the sound card lock, resulting in the sound card being unable to output normally. Therefore, this option is added to give users the purpose of adaptation through manual adjustment.

USB Audio bit depth

Generally, it is the default value. Because the USB sound card devices on the market are uneven, some sound cards do not upload the bit-depth audio data supported by the sound card correctly, which causes HiBy Music to output unmatched bit-depth audio data, resulting in the sound card being unable to output normally. Therefore, this option is added to give users the purpose of adaptation through manual adjustment.

Release USB bandwidth after playback

It is generally the default value. Because some USB sound cards on the market need to release USB bandwidth when playing the next song, otherwise the connection will be interrupted or disconnected. Therefore, this option is added to give users the purpose of adaptation through manual adjustment.

Keep backend active

Generally, it is the default value. Use exclusive functions on some mobile phones, then lock the screen, cut the background, and operate other APPs, and abnormal situations such as stuttering and stop playing are found. You can turn on this switch to ensure that HiBy Music continues to output audio data to the USB sound card

2.10.12 DSD mode

Set the output mode of DSD.

1. PCM: Convert DSD audio source data to original PCM audio encoded output. It is mainly used in the case where audio decoding DAC does not support DSD audio.
2. DoP: Embed DSD sound source data into the PCM signal and output it to the decoding device. It is mainly used when the output does not support DSD, but the decoding DAC supports DSD.
3. native: Natively output the DSD sound source data to the decoding device. It is mainly used in cases where both the output terminal and the decoding DAC natively support DSD.

2.10.13 Fixed sampling rate output

Set the audio to a fixed sampling rate for output. Note: The fixed sampling rate set must be supported by the decoding device to support the sampling rate output, otherwise it will cause abnormal audio playback. When connecting external sound cards, if some sound cards only support certain specific sampling rate data, they can set a fixed sampling rate output to match the required audio data, thereby ensuring the normal output of the decoding device.

2.10.14 Volume Mode

After using exclusive mode and connected to USB sound card to decode, the audio mode option will become available and a supported volume mode is provided to provide selection.

1. Auto: Automatically select the volume adjustment mode, default to hardware volume. If the device does not support hardware volume, automatically adjust it to software volume.
2. Hardware Volume: Force the hardware volume. When adjusting the volume, the hardware volume of the decoding device is adjusted by default.
3. Software Volume: Force the software volume. When adjusting the volume, the audio data volume at the output is adjusted by default.

2.10.15 Language Settings

Different languages can be set through the APP. The default value is the language setting that follows the system.

2.10.16 Font size settings

1. Fixed size
