fully converted from iTunes to FooBar2k two days ago but still cant dump iTunes cuz the song organizing in iTunes is juz perfect.
here's a few of my noob question :
1) i'm using Audigy2 ZS soundcard. and i have no idea why ASIO 24/96 cannot works. so between
a) ASIO 48 / 16bit or
b) kernel streaming 96/24bit
works better? i've read somewhere else that Kernel streaming works the same as ASIO.
2) Most of my MP3 is encoded from CD (16bit). so does playing them in 24bit makes difference since the original source is just 16bit? honestly in kernel streaming 16bit and 24bit i hardly notice any difference.
3) what is dithering (noise sharpening) ? i've google it and found some answer in wiki but the answer is too technical which i cant understand. anyone mind to explain in simple english?
4) i've notice that music played though foobar is obviously a lot more cleaner than iTunes but it lack of bass unlike what i tunes have. is tuning the EQ recommended?

QUOTE(almostthere @ Mar 10 2006, 09:22 AM) For question #1, ASIO is better then kernel streaming. and how to enable ASIO using ur Audigy, go to page 4 of the guide. You need to check ur allowable sampling rate. For question #2, no it doesn't as the source itself has to be originally in 24 bit format then one can tell the difference. For question #4. Try following the sequence of DSP arrangement recommended in the guide to see any difference or not. Mine does. And I prefer to leave the EQ of Foobar alone and tweak my sound cards. thanks a lot sifu. i CAN enable ASIO. but it cant work in 24bit resolution on A2ZS QUOTE(fariz @ Mar 10 2006, 12:32 PM) Have you read the section in the FAQ about which output to use? i've read that again and again a few times before i post here. they mentioned nothing about ASIO since ASIO is 3rd party plugin. |
