Great video. Also worth mentioning that one of the primary reasons to manipulate audio is not always to get a competitive advantage, but to protect your hearing. COD is loud, waaay too loud, if you actually want to hear footsteps clearly and precisely. For those interested, you can actually just route your audio into a DAW (like 'reaper' which can be used freely) and apply your VST limiter like that (if you dont own elgato stuff), it requires a touch more effort but considering live musicians use a laptop to route music and apply VST you can be assured it wont add additional latency that would be problematic. I would recommend adding a decent parametric EQ after the limiter to isolate any specific frequencies you want to cut or boost, just be careful not to clip your signal so it distorts. - Doing this means you can increase your volume dial to a decent level without blowing your eardrums. You dont want to over brickwall limit your audio or you risk obliterating dynamic range which will completely mess with you sense of directionality. The issue with most "streamer tunes" is that they try to overly compensate which ends up making almost everything sound objectively worse in audio quality. Kind of like dropping your graphics setting to the bottom and turning DLSS to the most aggressive setting, congrats you got great frames but your game looks potato quality. TBH just using a limiter without any additional settings will make a marked improvement.

[@TheTacticalBrit]

Firm agree! The game is so so loud.

[@Not.thatguy1]

Lol weird take but I dunno maybe turn down your monitor or tv volume if it’s too loud. Why you gotta manipulate the game files for that ?🤦‍♂️ honestly I’ve seen some crazy and lazy excuses for cheating but this one is definitely up there 🤣

@ quite clearly didn’t miss the point you just seem incapable of hearing and understanding any other points raised so I will repeat it for you artiswar audio manipulates in game data which is cheating !!! Honestly this really shouldn’t be that difficult to understand

[@seyrnahd]

@@Not.thatguy1 Not using art is war, nor did I mention it and the guy in the video was deliberately suggesting not to either. So apologies but maybe take a moment and read what I wrote and take on board the conclusion of the video. The advice here is using an audio limiter and basic EQ, something that musicians and audio production have been doing since the 1930's. There is literally nothing cheating about this and most audiophiles or music enthusiasts probably add their own 'curve' to suite their preferences when listening to audio. Rest assured, using Dolby Atmos or the Sony equivalent (which is literally baked into the ps5) is doing as much to dynamic range and Equalization as what I am talking about, and nobody thinks that is cheating. It is understandable if non musicians/non audio engineers do not grasp the nuances here, but if what i am talking about is cheating then every headset that uses a different EQ curve could easily fall into that category (which is all of them). So again, using EQ and audio compression is not cheating, if it was activision should be sending their lawyers to their parent company microsoft who literally have a version of audio compression baked into windows. Again i understand if these nuances are lost on the average person, don't take it personally as I won't.

[@SiClipping]

Hey man as usual good video. But I want to state my opinion. As a person who's using Artiswar tunes since last warzone, I have nothing but praise to his tune. Just as you grown custom to the original sound, you need to give it a try for at least a week. Than you'll get used with the audio tune. I have many instances where my teammates didn't hear what I heard. The one thing that I love the most is where my own character sound (shooting and footsteps) is so minimal that I can focus more on the surroundings.

[@aarmunoz10]

I agree I use his tune with a pair of odio headphones it sounds crazy crystal clear audio I use it on cod and Fortnite definite game changer

[@BK-td6st]

Now that to me sounds like an unfair advantage. I’m happy for you but for those who are on console that is unfair. Any third party software for a game is an unfair advantage even if it’s audio (sounds like I’m being an asshole but I’m not just saying how it is for those who do not have) If warzone can allow for more advanced audio tuning IN game then yeah that’s all good. Audio and server issues are the biggest problems. On your screen I’m not moving but my screen I’m running ? Then I die, That’s some bullshit.

[@YoungFreakDiddy]

@@BK-td6stI understand where your coming from, but audio tunings arent cheating. Cheating is something that will do things for you, such as aimbot, wallhacks, and speed hacks. Third party software for your argument can include controller software. I use a third party software for my controller to actually work. Is that cheating? No

[@mBOMBZz]

​@@YoungFreakDiddyit's giving you an unfair advantage since it's not available to all players. This is also modifying game audio files which is against Activision's tos and is bannable.

@@mBOMBZz first off, just because it isn’t available to all players means it should be banned?

You knew what gun was spending rounds at what angle and how far away along with everything else. But it all went absolutely downhill once they made COD2 for console and TV speakers. Then Blops4 was the worst. You would hear a round go off to your left, turn to the sound to pinpoint and the sound moved with the turning of your avatar. Like the sound would go off and stay there even when turning until another round went off. You couldn't pinpoint the echo that a gun gives off using the sound when turning left to right.

[@mattwells1036]

This dynamic priorty system, is just not what people need in a multiplayer shooter. I've heard it's neccesary because there are too many sounds. Playing a respawn mode in a busy lobby, and you might not hear people full on sprinting until their just a few feet behind you. But in a slow search match, you'll hear a dudes feet and it'll be good enough to triangulate from like 30m. In old cods like MW2 I have no problem hearing clear directional sound, streaks and gunfire are louder and naturally make it harder to pick up sounds, but they're still there, at the same level. Oh, theres ways console players can get form of audio compression. My receiver has a couple of dynamic range control settings, has limited chanel EQs and can power headphones. Various audio devices can offer DRC, and custom or preset EQs. And also offers functionality with home theaters and stereos. I just use my headsets USB dongle, but i might try messing with it. Idk how these DRC settings compare to the common windows loudness EQ, but I'd assume they at least keep the sound quality better.

[@nmmrg]

It me like 10 hours of tuning and testing to get my mw3 audio perfect in Sonar EQ. Been too lazy to do it again for bo6 because it seems more difficult because sounds are so different when close and at range. I'm almost at the point of just utilizing sonar's 3d positioning, despite it possibly adding latency.

[@nelecc]

it's wild how disadvantaged console players are in this game regardless of the results of this video. it might not matter in general lobbies, but in my lobbies it's incredibly hard to overcome. controller overclocking, loudness EQ, ability to lower specific graphics settings, better frames, better audio in general, etc. these add up so much when you play against the top 0.1% of players to the point where i am now forcing myself to move to PC

You can completely disregard all of that by turning off cross play

[@duffstrodamus3233]

You can overcome the controller issue by just buying an elite2. You can program it on a pc, then plug it into console. Sure you may still have some input lag, but you can do a lot of things

[@famezy9103]

I respect your opinion, but I couldn’t disagree more. There’s no such thing as PC players having an advantage over console, unless you’re purely talking about frames and graphics, but then again that also depends on what PC you get. I’ve done extensive testing and comparison between a couple of PC’s at different price range and PS5 People need to understand something about graphics and that being no matter what device you’re using, if it’s capable of pushing 4K then it’s 4K. I see a lot of comments about how PS5 isn’t true 4K and it’s the most rubbish thing I’ve heard Some of my friends are PC gamers and I used their PC’s to do my comparison and I can honestly say that unless you have £1500 plus for a PC with a really good graphics card, it will only have around 150-170 FPS compared to 120 FPS on the PS5 and that simply isn’t enough difference to gain any advantage What people say about keyboard and mouse being better than controller is also incorrect, because that’s a matter of preference and what you get used to. I’m an OG controller player and I can guarantee you that I’ll be better than a lot of keyboard and mouse players Now about audio. I’ve been into audio for over 30 years and I understand it extremely well. I don’t know if Tacticalbrit is aware, but what Art is War does is, he actually figured out a way to get into the actual audio file of the game, which is for developer only and he made adjustments to the audio coding and changed the how the game sounds and then adds loudness equalisation to it as well. Technically what he’s doing is cheating, because he shouldn’t be able to access those developer audio coding and files. What most people don’t understand is, sound is subjective and what sounds good to you probably won’t sound good to me. That picture Tacticalbrit showed in this video for a site called squiglink is actually a great platform to use. There are lots of audio experts who saves their own EQ’s on there for different things including gaming. I personally only follow a guy called GadgetryTech as he really tests COD audio and puts the EQ graph on there and all you have to do is, whatever headset or headphone you’re using, tune it match the Warzone EQ graph as close as possible and you’re done, but again, sound is subjective and it might not sound good to you Here’s a tip…COD footsteps audio is in the 110Hz-140Hz region

bad video as always. Spends 90% of the runtime repeatedly saying "everyone else is WRONG!" without adding anything meaningful to the conversation other than "Use betterer software". 20 minute video that simultaneously fails to give detailed, actionable, technical info for people who actually understand audio, and fails to explain audio-frequency concepts for a novice to understand. An actual helpful video would look like: For knowledgeable viewers: Records several sounds in isolation, then measures where those sounds lie in the frequency range/in a 7.1 mix, then show different comparisons with different settings, and conduct tests that compare different software. For novices: Explanation of frequency range 0-20khz, differences between stereo/5.1/7.1, explanation of why gamerTM headsets suck, an with that an actual explanation of what the tuning software is actually doing to the frequencies. What's frustrating (and the reason I was motivated to leave this comment) is I can tell you actually know what you're talking about, but can't be bothered to organize/demonstrate/edit your thoughts in a helpful way. Not even your fault though, an actual good video would take weeks to make. But instead you can turn on the mic, barely edit the video, slap on some generic COD gameplay and be done in a day. Thanks KZbin algorithm. At least you put more effort into your videos than JGod.

Using a Cronus is still cheating even though everyone could go buy one. Until they separate consoles and pc into different games it’s still cheating.

I play on both PS5 and PC.

Also for console, if you use say astro A50s or Arctis nova pro with the DAC you are getting far superior audio than the AIW audio. I currently have the A50, the Arctis and a sound blaster GC7 that I have tested on PS5 and the Arctis in my opinion are the best option for COD audio. You can apply the squiglink custom tunes to those headsets for console via the DAC on board EQ or the app that comes with the headphones. That being said, in almost every other way PC does have the advantage, mostly from a visual standpoint, specifically in the frame rates achievable and even more so the custom color filters that you can use (i.e. using DWMLUT to apply the color filters).

@TheTacticalBrit nice video mate I have to say though that what Art is War does involves more than what you’ve explained in this video Art is War has found a way to access the games actual developer audio files and he makes adjustments in the codes, which technically is cheating, because only the COD developer should have access to those files I’ve been into audio for over 30 years and I understand it at a high level and if there’s one thing people should know is, sound is always subjective I agree that majority of gaming headsets are rubbish, but we only say that because they don’t have the same clarity as a studio headphone, but gaming headsets are good at one thing and that’s the fact that their drivers are purely tuned for gaming. As a console gamer I can put on my Beyerdtnamic DT 770 on and in terms pure sound quality it will beat all my gaming headsets, but I can’t EQ the headphone to use on console, but I’ve EQ’s my SteelSeries Nova 7 and when I compare it to the Beyerdtnamic, in terms of I’m game sound characteristics and imaging the Nova 7 is the winner, but if I was a PC gamer then yeah I’ll EQ the Beyerdtnamic and use that However, one thing that ruins the directional audio and accuracy of the footsteps is open back headphones and even worse any surround sound. To my hearing every time I’ve used an open back headphone or any kind surround sound effect it has ruined my sense of hearing footsteps accurately and can’t tell exactly where footsteps are coming from I used GadgetryTech’s Warzone and BO6 EQ on Squiglink and adjusted the Nova 7 EQ to match those and it works perfectly. If one day Activision and COD developers decide to change the sound priorities then it will be even better

just because I use a bike in a marathon doesn't make it cheating. I'm still moving my legs and traveling the same course. Stop complaining about people altering the way a game was designed. It's cheating, and now paid cheating. Money allows it. These streamers say the opposite of the truth anymore.

[@Aye_itsju]

When I got a pc my homie told me to download steelseries sonar (its free) so i wouldnt have to deal with cods booty audio

[@SkiTTlelele]

Can I somehow reduce the sound of getting hit? It is soo fkn damn loud..

[@robertolsson86]

Just an other reason not to play warzone on consoles

[@xCriZzZ]

This game became mobile game with better graphics ngl

[@ianyname1736]

Crossplay ON Killed CoD, change my mind!

[@dakidale]

As First shame on Them for selling audio!

[@sercumvent]

why is it "somewhat controversial" its literally pay to hear.......just give everyone same advantage best wins what a concept

[@shawn4063]

Can you play arma reforger its one of the best experiences on console ive ever had and listen even at 30fps on a series s idc because the gameplay and people make it so fun please give it a try

[@lifemiller6276]

Look up the TOS of Bo6, and this is, by definition, cheating.

[@Primafaveo]

No, no it is not. I can't even understand what line you misinterpreted that bad to come to that conclusion.

[@nikomint4894]

I mean better gaming equipment is pay to win since ever, i guess someone on a hight end pc got better chances then anyone on ps5. There are a lot of players not even using a headset to play games. I could go into my eq and set up my headset to get louder footsteps bzt i realy like the natural sound. Steps should not be louder then gunfire

[@Schmederling33]

Just get a good working chair and you don't have to worry about audio...you will enjoy the game more with a trusted chair ..streamers and pro's uses then some have been caught its just the way of the world these days...

[@markyh88]

The amount of PC players who claim they have no advantage is absolutely insane.. you can't argue that point, its complete BS. You know it too, or you wouldn't have paid for a gaming PC

[@rhysenna]

I bet the hackers could sort the audio out. 😅

[@stashsavage4203]

This new warzone is absolutely horrible

[@rjss-h2x]

This game is completely rigged. Everything in this game is an unfair experience. At this point it's only a money machine. EOMM should be illegal, because manipulating your game experience is not fair and is not healthy! I think people should start looking to this with real eyes because it's more deep than we think!

[@EvonyNinj]

& no no not certain sounds have priority ONLY non essential sounds take presidence above all. If you don't hear those environmental explosions that are irrelevant, the plane flying by all that shit then we have problems. IT WILL unreasonably loud above any other sound at all times and nothing else is allowed until those sounds are boosted. Lmao

[@THEMMAHOTWIRE]

Dawg I played yesterday after stopping about a week ago and I noticed right off the bat there’s almost little to no aim assist on warzone for console LMFAO 😂 WHAT?! So we play against cheaters and can’t turn off cross play while they run wall hacks better audio and literally no recoil…. Yeah I’m playing XDefiant and The finals from here on out…

[@jasonhayse8804]

Just separate the console/ pc lobbies again.

[@saine414]

Another money grab what should been there in the first place....Real shitty move by them

[@UR_AL_SHOOK_UP]

I want to love this game but how do i get 65 Latency when I can literally throw a rock at the server, game is punishing me for having a 4kd it trys so hard to screw me why play, Fortnite just makes cod feel like 💩

[@rommi_rusina8106]

😂😂😂Same audio can be done free with steelseries app

[@regular-thing]

I tried that app and it sounded unbearably awful, but then maybe these tunes do too.

[@Andrew-vc4pj]

"Unfair advantage". How about console players and their insane aim assist. Killing the game for pc players like myself

[@i_amChrisJxmes]

Console users go ahead and skip

[@crystalhernandez6089]

Just dnt play if your on console its that simple pc has a clear advantage, my friend played on xbox x switch to pc and immediately said it isnt fair his gameplay even was better he said out his own mouth the movement felt better ect first game on pc he drops his pr😂😂😂😂😂😂 gameplay was night and day, most pc players will say there is no advantage cause they love playing against console players cause they knw they have a edge they complain about aim assist on console but its easy to plug a control into ur pc and get that same aim assist😂😂😂, if cod ever gave console players the option to just play with other console players it would bring alot of players back im talking xbox and Playstation if they gave that option i bet money 99% of console players would turn crossplay off for pc. The fact that there is not an option to turn off crossplay for pc is wild, why am i forced to play against pc players if im on console it should only be Playstation vs xbox where tf is that option oh right there isnt one cause then u pc players would be stuck playing against pc player's and im willing to bet a bunch of you pc players would galdy switch back to console

[@ICEMAN4471]

Consol players can take their overpowered aim assist and go cry somewhere else

[@JoePatriot78]

@@ICEMAN4471 you do realize that most PCs players play on controller with aim assist?

[@Schmederling33]

Just get PC player out on there own...let console play with console and PC play with PC the FPS world will improve 100000000%

[@CaioPatriani]

Why isnt it cheating lol? Its the same thing. I see no difference between using programs for audio improvements that basically work as a wallhack and something like macros or some cronus zen.

[@severussin]

Crossplay is off

[@logk]

PAY TO WIN STREAMER AUDIO? come on every app is free dude, that title is misleading...

[@DancingJersey]

There is a paid audio mix offered by activision

[@SquishyRSX]

With the amount of issues that audio always has, it's so embarrassing that they're adding this as a paid option. With the amount of money they make from all the idiots buying shark skins, they can have a better audio system for free for everyone but they don't want to

[@TheRealSlimJadey]

[@ScottyPlaysYeh]

Why do all that just go download cheats lol yall cheating anyway

[@carlatkinson2758]

You really think that art of war isn’t cheating ?? You’re deluded as soon as you said that you lost all credibility 👍🏼

[@YoungFreakDiddy]

How? It is liter a free audio tuning. Yeah it is a bit broken, but it isnt cheating. The artiswar audio tuning is not even very good anymore, i still dont even hear footsteps with it.

[@carlatkinson2758]

@ you’re clearly bad at the game 👍🏼

[@YoungFreakDiddy]

⁠@@carlatkinson2758so instead of refuting my claims, you throw insults. Swear console players always complaing about something. PC players paid tons of money for a reason. If your not spending thousands on a PC for advantages, then just get a fucking console. Nothing against console players, i use to be one. Just don’t complaining when PC players paid thousands for a PC for a reason.

[@mBOMBZz]

It is cheating..why do you have to modify the games audio files and not just in-game options? Are you that bad?

[@YoungFreakDiddy]

@@mBOMBZz becuse the in game options suck. You cant hear jack shit in this game. How come i have a very high quality headset and cant hear shit without the audio tuning?

[@fire_titan5735]

You don't think art of war is cheating? Gtfoh why you think cod is trying to make it void. Cheaters be cheaters. Play the game how it's meant to be played or you a cheater.
