Selecting 'DirectX Plugin' assert

First up, thanks for an awesome tool. I am lost without DbPoweramp, hence why I am dying for DirectX Plugins to work !

I know its WIP, but just letting you know that when I select DirectX Plugin as a DSP, I get an instant assert:
=======================
AppName: musicconverter.exe AppVer: 12.0.1.2 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000110
=======================

I am running WinXP64 if that's a help. Let me know if you need more info
The other DSP's select and add fine.

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

Lovely. Hope you'll start working on these soon

to 24 bit
to 16 bit
Volume Quiten

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

do you plan to add trackgain and db level settings to replaygain?

[Spoon]

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

to 24, to 16 are handled by Bit Depth
Volume Quieten is merged with Volume Normalize, select a fixed multiply, or peak and lower the desired volume.

--------------------

Trackgain is used by the volume normalize, or are you talking about the ReplayGain dsp effect?

[mimiihu]

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

yes, talking about the replaygain dsp effect. sorry for not being clear.
thanks.

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

Trackgain is always calculated by [ReplayGain]

why would you want to change the dB? that is upto the program playing surely.

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

Hey Spoon, great work on dbpoweramp, I've been using it for over a year and love it.
What mimiihu is referring to is a question I asked over at riovolution.org in reference to MP3Gain. In case you're not familiar, it's a fairly simple program similar to a volume normalizer that scans your MP3s and tells you the perceived volume level, then lets you set a target decibel level and gives you the option of applying this change by track or by album. From the little I understand about it, MP3Gain applies the volume change in a way that can be used by portable players that aren't capable of making use of RG data.

Spoon:

I've tried it, and it works fine. What would you say was the best if I want to encode a file with an output normalized to -12 dB? In 11.5, I did this:

to 24 bit
Volume Normalize (to 0)
Volume Quiten (67%, to resemble -12dB)
to 16 bit

I've tried this in 12:

Bit depth: 24
Volume normalize: 0
Volume normalize: fixed -12 dB
Bit depth: 16

Is this the best way to do it? Or should I use peak -12 dB instead of fixed -12 dB. What's the difference anyway?

Thanks

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

You are better:

32 bit float (or 32 bit if you do not have reference)
Peak and -12 db
16 bit

----

Our replaygain in the volume normalize does not rely on tags, it applies replaygain to the file, there is the desired volume to set the loudness.

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

OK, and thanks again for this fantastic tool.

Re: R12 DSP Effects Beta Test

Request: Percentage level (as well as db level) for the Normlise plugin please .

I get distortion problems when using the EQ on my iPod so i like to lower the level of the mp2 radio recordings while encoding them to mp3 you see.

Thanks Spoon - you Da Man!
