Expansion of dynamics or stereo or something else?
Undo did very little on this song, it’s just the original extended version’s digital master from 1983, so it might have a lot more dynamics than any remasters of it you may be used to hearing. What you’re probably hearing is the openness of the Omnia.9 (it *can* sound way less open of course, or even more open) and that original master. Are you saying it sounds too open?
As far as expansion of stereo, it is doing a decent amount. 10db in some places, in the upper midrange, but mostly only a few db. I wanted to make people used to having stereo enhancers before their "certain analog box" setups (common place) feel right at home.
I could provide the original track lossless to you, if you would like to compare it with anything. 8)
Ahh, well acquainted then, sorry to presume, you’re just sharing the love. Yeah, what they do for those boxes is a work of love and art. I’m still jonesing to hear a box with their new PSU in it. I *love* how crazily over engineered yet simple that thing is. 🙂
I use Winamp because I love it, and it’s simple, and the media library is great. Not because it’s popular or not.
Foobar2000 & Songbird are also great.
You just discovered the Sacks? 🙂 They are good friends to many within the industry, and great people. They know how to keep their rivalry on the dial, and not let it limit the enjoyment they share with the people in our industry. 8) They are currently at AES NYC, making me jealous.
Guess why I used the song I used here? 😉
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2178[quote author=”DJC”]record in real time the processesd audio[/quote]
This is currently the only way to use Leif’s processing on media files themselves:

as a plugin for this:

but… need i say… this is WAY past the scope & scale (and extremely past the cost) of what you’re trying to do. 😉So you’ll have to stick to [quote author=”DJC”]record in real time the processesd audio[/quote] for now. 8)
[quote author=”radiorio”]I bet it doesn’t NEED any msvcr90 features[/quote]
or at least it probably doesn’t benefit a lot from it. there ARE optimizations for new processors that are coming out and built into these newer MS C++ libs… it just depends on what classes are being used. On the other hand, I can see why an app like Winamp – with many DLL exes being loaded – would use a single C lib for everything instead of static linking it on every DLL exe. The memory footprint is decently smaller than it would be otherwise, which can make or break using it with other apps (or at all) on an older (10+ years) system.btw… for a long time Winamp had its own C lib. "nscrt" or something, if i (probably don’t) remember correctly. in a way it’s a shame they got rid of it, because it was small and fast. i have my own C lib I’ve been working on for most of a decade, for my own projects. it’s a nice thing to have when you want to do stuff reasonably small, without resorting to some xASM flavor.
but whatever, 641 KB for msvcr90.dll is fine by me, especially if there is anything at all being optimized for my i7 CPU.

[quote author=”radiorio”]the audio "paths" in edcast are "interesting" to say the least[/quote]
Being one of the old committers to that source, I had to laugh at that. Sooo true. Ed has definitely come a long way since the foundation of it was created.This should work with Breakaway Live, since you need the ability to have the input be the "soundcard" of the VM.
That being said… it’s very possible that the latency of the audio IO on the VM itself will be too high to use Breakaway for things like… video, and games.
had to translate it from Italian, means "assisted". No i don’t have any recommendations on how to tweak it. Just use nice flat headphones, preferably calibrated. =) it may take some days before you hear enough music through it to decide if a setting is good or needs more tweaking.
[quote author=”LuK”]the new version of Twente preset has totally snaturated the originally sound and I don’t undestand why. Jesse?[/quote]
I didn’t make that preset, Leif did.[quote author=”LuK”]Some tips to set the Challenger Stereo Enancher to coadiuvate my huge vintage sound? 😉[/quote]
"coadiuvate" ??It’s actually…. probably a sound engine issue with the game. What you can do is try changing (probably increasing) the buffer size, try changing the buffer count, or perhaps using DS (DirectSound) instead of KS (Kernel Streaming) to access the soundcard and pipeline.
I added the alternate site here:
http://mpxtool.com/site/torture-test.htmlGoing to add to the other one, but there’s some weirdness with it and I need to have Leif just make me a top level admin, not just an editor, on that particular site. (already am an admin here) But yeah, he’s EXTREMELY busy at the moment (very exciting stuff happening now), but he did thank you for hosting these files for now. He says he has TONS more mpx files to share with everyone. =) He’ll eventually work on getting a server just to host large files speedily. 8)
[quote author=”radiorio”]this is now fixed and consistent throughout[/quote]
excellent. 🙂 always a fun thing to start considering, hehe. i’ve found some unfortunately un-rare bugs doing such. like peak meters only responding to positive peaks. (cough*free*meter*cough) one has to wonder if there’s some copy pasted opensource code when some of this happens. 😉[quote author=”radiorio”][quote author=”JesseG”]the meter code in Oddcast/Edcast is actually by Leif too. 🙂 many people don’t know that.[/quote]
I’m assuming the CFlexMeter class – it’s so easy to use I must say! I made a slight change, which I think improves the look[/quote]
that’s the one. actually, that class has updated massively since the version Zaleski was given, capable of a lot more, but also more work to setup during init. 😉 it’s currently still the meter class for Breakaway, and it’s been made a small part of Leif’s new framework. i’m also working now & then on porting it to wxWidgets.
