DSP information

[TomCat39]

I did a search of ALL open forums for "DSP" and it returned with zero results.

I was looking for information on the DSP area of the DMC.

I have a favorite DSP I use with WinAmp that is extremely powerful called Sound Solution. It's a multiband processor like what the professionals use but software instead of hardware.

Sadly the developer doesn't know how to code it for anything other than winamp 2.x/5.x.

I'd love to be able to use the dll with other things but most everything doesn't handle dsp dll's like winamp. Instead they use proprietary methods and dsp's.

My solution now is to play whatever file I have in winamp with it sound solutioned. Record the output to a wav file. Convert the wav file and then redo the ID tags by hand.

I'm really hoping for an easier way such as a way to use the dll and config file directly in the dmc. Or just find out some information on the DMC dsp protocal for general knowledge if nothing else.

Thanks,

Tomas

Your current way is the only way.

Okay, are you willing to share any information on how your product DSP protocals work?

I can't find any technical information on this aspect of your product at all.

A winamp plugin wrapper would be very cool.

I agree.

Winamp has a very serious collection of DSP's written for it since it's been around since the dawn of mp3 virtually (maybe not literally but pretty damn close). To not utilize all the years of work already put into digital signal pocessing is foolish in my opinion. Especially since Winamp is heavily documented thus easy to write plugins for, which in turn would make writing a wrapper or make one's product compatable with winamp plugins, much simpler. I repeat, that is just my opinion, nothing more, so please don't go misconstruing my statement as anything other than opinion.

And being there was a winamp INPUT plugin adapter for dmc, the developer already has done some research into winamp syntaxes.

Maybe this should be added to the wishlist forum.

Re: DSP information

Internally Winamp is a mess, I would not want to write a wrapper for it, the wrapper would have to convert floating point to fixed bit, etc to remain compatible with what dBpoweramp can pass out (for example encoding mp3 >> mp3 of a lower bitrate, the music converter is smart to know that 32 bit floating point can be used by the mp3 decoder and will use it).

I can post the c++ headers for our DSPs if you like.

That would be cool. Thank you.

Re: DSP information

Looking at it...the headers would not be enough, we are using our internal class system also, and we cannot give that out. It might be easier for you to make the Winamp DSPs into DirectX DSPs which we can run with.
