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.

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)

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..

you need to you column_ui interface to get them.

read the tutorial

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

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)

preferences > core > commandline > select "always send to playlist", use any name

probably your soundcard doesn't support ASIO or even if it is capable, the driver doesn't support it.

I'm using sblive + kxproject driver.. although i don't use ASIO, it can work if I resample it to 48000Hz

set the output date format to 24bit fixed-point

you soundcard must be capable of playing at 24bit too..

that's too long.. probably a corrupted option/configuration file

preferences|playback|output

i use special installer, contains alot of plugin

you can get it from here too

try convolver plugin too.. better than equalizer

it's either your hardware or your source..

to play wma file, http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=31938

for singles, use "scan per-file track gain"
full album should use "scan selection as album"

leave the setting at default

you can put them in a folder just for covers, that's what i did for all my singles, 360+ covers.

I renamed them either artist - title.jpg or artist - album.jpg

for the code, I use

run fooassoc.exe in foobar2000 folder
