I was actually helping an aging coworker who wears a hearing aid set up some features on his phone and connecting his phone to Bluetooth. I was significantly disappointed with the lack of features geared toward those who are hard of hearing. Specifically in driving mode for Android auto. He's got a newish phone (S23) so it's not that. And the settings were far too convoluted to find for my tastes.

It really bothered me quite a bit that I couldn't make the Bluetooth register that he was using a car and therefore speakers, not headphones. And further that the settings for voice prompts in the maps app requires he go into his personal Google settings to change toggles because the app user facing one is only available once you pick a destination and he couldn't hear it.

Is it too much to ask for a long press shortcut?

As someone who does audio production as a hobby, and recently made an album using mostly Android, I can tell you that audio routing in Android is an absolute nightmare. Basically, Android (at least my Android devices) doesn't give you access to any settings at all, it just assumes that you use the default settings of whatever you happen to plug into it.

I had a problem where I'd plug in my DAC, and it would detect it and start using it, but it failed to work in the app I wanted it to work in. It took me something like two days to figure out I had to plug things in in a different order in order for them to work properly. Just infuriating, and something that would be simple to fix if they'd just give you some super simple audio routing options, but NOOO, they just have to assume that no one knows what they're doing and try to do everything for you.

What did you use? Cubasis? G stomper? Flstudio?

And what part did you give up doing on Android?

I used Koala Sampler. It's a great piece of software. I did eventually end up finishing arrangement and mastering on PC, though.

Hadn't heard of it. I'll check it out, thanks!

It's great! It's got two in-app purchases. The mixer is invaluable! I didn't find much use for the extra time stretching options that came with the other plugin, but that's probably due to the way I compose. I make loops out of one-shot samples. If you're sampling entire loops, those are probably quite useful as well. Each plugin is only $5 or so. So $15 for everything Koala Sampler has to offer. Totally worth it!
