Noise Sharpening plugin
Summary: the main purpose is to convert an LPCM signal, but even more exciting is the Noise Sharpening DSP.

The noise sharpener adds noise in the inaudible range to increase resolution in the audible range. So more noise shaping->more noise->more audible resolution.

It's the audio equivalent of using an image sharpening filter on your pictures. It makes audio files sound "sharper" (clearer). You WILL notice the difference.

I recommend being economic with the plugins you run and only install what you actually need.

Windows Live Messenger Notifier
allows for showing the current song as your "Now Playing" personal status message in Windows Live Messenger.

i've also modded a preset that i've found on the net so that it would be easier with unproperly tagged MP3s and with mixed songs.
i really can't remember the original source since it's been so long already. the original is preset is named rexy i think, or is it erik's config..

but i've made some adjustments to it, changed a few strings and settings here and there, and here's the config i'm using at my PC.
just to share, if should the mods thinks modding others preset and posting it again as my creation is wrong since i've modded this config without the author's proper acknowledgement (i really can't remember), then PM me and i'll remove it.

the preset will fill all MP3s without Genre as 'Generic Music' and Date as 'NA' if should that info is not available. and also the preset will try to guess the Artist and Album info by using directory info.

thats neat...most of my songs are chinese tagged...
and my play list is uber messy

paskal
can u give me the strings and code. column_ui.
i like the way your fb2k arranged your playlist.
acedriver also nice one. but i tried to put and do some what he talked in other thread (make you foobar2000 look cool).
but also kelam kabut lo.

uploaded the preset to another site. you can download the preset at my posting before this.

messy playlist is a usual thing when using foobar, since it groups items by albums and artist. here's an pic of the messiest playlist in my preset, it can't get messier than this.

Since I'm totally new to this new program, I'm gonna post all my questions at once, hope some expert can help me out. I really tried helping myself, but it's really too complicated

Anyway I downloaded the "Special Edition" Foobar from the official site. No extra plug-ins, just the SE edition itself. I have a few questions:

1) How do I set "Read titles on play" like winamp? This major headache when I load the whole drive of songs and Foobar will read each song to know the length of the song, which is processor time consuming.
2) I've enabled Kernel Streaming, but what it is actually?


Thanks!!

@KeNNy

1) Enable Database, goto Preferences > Database, add the folders where you stores your music, example "d:\music\;e:\", then press scan..

2) Kernel Streaming bypasses the Windows KMixer and sends data directly to the audio driver, so I suppose another benefit would be that KMixer doesn't get to mess with your audio data. Generally, the main reason to use kernel streaming is to achieve extremely low latency output, because KMixer adds about 30 ms latency. (from http://www.hydrogenaudio.org)

Thanks!

However, I realise that it's like recoridng some kinda database. So if for say I include a new file I recently downloaded, I need to update the database?

if you put it in the same directory as the database, no need to update it. It will auto-update next time you play the file..

Hey how do i make the song title in the taskbar scroll ?


edit: Ok so i found the code: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....topic=26639&hl=


But where the heck do i put this thing ??

i seems to have trouble with those tabs...

can someone teach me how to get those tabs ?

you need to you column_ui interface to get them.

read the tutorial

can anyone explain replaygain function in laymen term? how to set a track so it will play in our desired volume?

really simple explanation: making your tracks play at almost the same level (volume), so you don't have to readjust speaker volume.

really long explanation: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...2000#ReplayGain

thanks ace ..i know what it does, just not sure with the concept. so the volume is set in a group by the program but not by us right? .. i've found out we can set the gain manually one by one, but that's tedious job. How to set the volume at our choice in a batch?

I let foobar set it itself. For full album, I used Ablum gain (obviously) but difference gain for every album even from the same artist. For single, use track gain.

In Preferences > Playback, I choose "use album gain" as replaygain mode using -5dB (84.0db) for files with RG info.

You only can edit the album gain manually, not track gain. Select the track(s), use shift key for multiple track, right click > replaygain > edit replaygain info (advanced)
