I have a top spec 15" macbook pro retina mid 2015, running on El Capitan v10.11.2. I Have 1TB SSD and 16Gb RAM. I use the macbook in music production running ableton live and logic pro so I understand the macbook architecture in terms of audio signal processing and routing. I normally use a Focusrite 6i6 soundcard as my interface with the macbook, but having got a pair of dre beats studio bluetooth headphones for Christmas, the prospect of being able to listen to my music using these headphones became hampered by only the absence of absolute control over EQ and level. With dre beats paired having fired up ITunes I was able to get the sound I wanted by adjusting the EQ and pushing up the pre-amp gain. However, by comparison, mixcloud and Spotify although sounding extremely nice, just lacked that extra bit of gain on the lower and higher frequencies. So today I paid me tenner and installed Boom 2.
Oh dear oh dear, with the default settings the sound was really distorted and I thought hello hello we have some compatibility issues. However, throttling everything down and having a play got me where I needed to be.
I believe that due to the range of macs and output devices this application needs to support, my install overkilled the signal level. What worked for me in the end is mac output gain up full and Boom 2 gain set about 10%, Fidelity mode with horizontal slider throttled right back. with eq profile set to Electronic and the EQ gain control on the right nudged down slightly.
The macbook pro and dre beats studio are fantastic pieces of hardware, very well made and sound fantastic together, so it is important for everyone here to understand that the intention is that final tweak to perfection which you will only get by playing about and not just wacking the volume up as you always did.
For the future, the more effective integration auto adjustment to work within the mac volume control without having both would be very cool. Not sure its do'able for a tenner but I am happy with what I got as it does what it needs.
Exec Summary:
Excellent application, does what it needs. There are possible enhancements around installed level setting.
I have nothing to say about the product. It does what is says it does and it does it very well. Unfortunately, the support, which used to be almost instantaneous has now disappeared - gone - zero!. I had a simple problem, I swapped my hard drives into a newer macPro, not realising that Boom2 would not recognise the new computer. My bad. So, because I love the product and because I have 2 more Macs I want to install it on, I purchased a further x 2 licenses and sent an E-Mail to support asking them to release the old activation code. Three E-Mails later - no response at all. I also use Viola, now Capto and both products are top of the line but without backup service I shall start to look elsewhere
