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.

@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! smile.gif

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..

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)

I have a problem with foobar.

For instance i am listening to XXX playlist then suddenly my friend send me an mp3 then i click on it. Then foobar will play that file and at the same time clear my current playlist of all its original files. then when i finish listening to the file, i must load my playlist all over again.

Is there any way to overcome this problem?

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..

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

leave the setting at default

Ace: thank you for that plugin, i had a hard time finding it.

btw, bout that albumart, I wonder is there anyway we can make it show the specific picture when a song is played? Cause I have lots of song mix up in a single folder, I catogerize them by the mood. eg: happy, rock.... so all are different album.
But the album art digs a picture by their folder, not songs.

Well, currently I am just using a few cute wallpapers to use as my folder cover ..
*
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
CODE
F:\Covers\$replace(%artist% - $if2(%album%,%title%),:,_,?,_,/,_,.,_).jpg
