QUOTE(Najmods @ Oct 24 2008, 10:13 PM) Since you new here, there are a lot of soundcard doesn't support native 44.1kHz. Almost all Creative previous cards, notably EMU10K1 (SB Live! series) and EMU10K2 and 2.5 (Audigy and Audigy 2) and AC97 based codec don't support 44.1kHz, it automatically resamples it to 48kHz. And the internal sample rate converter done it poorly resulting in distortion that you can hear, that is why people creates software resampler to cure it. Most modern cards don't need one, the X-Fi natively support 44.1kHz so there is no need for that oh... ok. i knew it. the funny thing is why in the first place. those sc designed for not supporting native 44.1? arent the market is flooded with 44.1 standard? well, fine....

Last time I thought foobar was a kind of chocolate, that you can sample and see how it taste like. If you take the samples slowly, you get to taste it better as it melts in your mouth. But if you sample it like many many thousand times very very fast, you get mouth cramp. Your teeth become so bad that they drop off one by one over night. Then somebody answered my question, told me foobar is computer something something, that it is y2k compliant. I said does that mean reverse order will work, because normally it is a2z. She said no lah no lah, it is a software for playing music files. I thanked her then for questions to my answers. I asked her what is all these sampling going on, are they blood samples, urine samples, stool samples. She also say no. She said those are mostly fluid samples. If you use these samples on the computer, the whole computer can go bang! and you get to see some smoke. I said orrr .......

Cheers  I been using foobar since 2003, way before v0.9. A Q&A thread could serve to point users to skins, plugins and resource links specific to the software, among other things related. BUT for topics such as resamplings which is so general and not players specific, it would be beneficial to everybody in this forum to have it discuss in a separate thread. I don't use WMP, but I can see its users benefit(?) from this too. Resampling is not exclusive to foobar.  Half the pages in this thread are devoted to resampling already. Maybe someone can start a new topic, like resampling in foobar and watch that bumped up to 50 pages in no time. This post has been edited by BCurve: Oct 25 2008, 10:26 AM

I'm using Convolver with impulses that emulate analogue tubes and Advanced Limiter at the end of the DSP chain

actually Resampler [SSRC] Slow mode @ 44100 is to make sure all the music is at 44100 coz some of the music might be at 48000..
original is the best in music..

There is also a DSP that emulate Tube soundWhat I really like is a DSP to use Winamp only DSP (like AudioBurst or iZotope Ozone) on foobar2000, link is hereAnd the equalizer preset for foobar

Is ASIO = WASAPI = Kernel Streaming ????
Is it recommend to leave ASIO setting at the system tray icon to its default setting?
