Is my DSP worth publishing?

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 13:43

Is it? Give me feedback please.

d0rk · 13th May 2005, 13:52

Well, no idea what your talking about. But it doesn't contain a virus for anyone who does.

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 13:54

It's a preset for the Winamp's DSP (digital signal processor)

gaekwad2 · 13th May 2005, 14:31

An SPS preset, to be precise.

It works very well.*

The only thing I noticed: wouldn't it be better to use separate bass and treble sliders instead of bass/treble and wet/dry?
This would allow people with bad speakers to boost both high and low frequencies (I still see DSPs mainly as a crutch for people with insufficient hardware.

).

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 14:44

Well, thanks for your answer.

I could do that, but then I would have to give up at one of the other 2 sliders, and that's because of the way my sps works... Maybe I'll figure it out, we'll see. And it works pretty well like this, I mean if you want to boost the bass you set the first slider up, if you want the treble you set it down. Or if you want both of them to be boosted, you set it somewere in the middle.

And what you said about DSP's, I agree with you, at least partially. I don't use it on my stereo line, or if I use it I don't alter the sound so much. But for a bad to medium pair of headphones, or computer speakers, or even for someone that has nice hardware but is a bass (or treble) freak, this SPS works fine. Anyways, you get much better results than trying to do this from the Winamp equalizer.

gaekwad2 · 13th May 2005, 14:46

Well, I got the first two sliders to work pretty well as is, but how do you set it so it doesn't mess with the song's dynamics? Just set boost to zero?

And you should mention that the treble setting does "noise sharpening", it's the current craze (I just submitted some noise sharpening presets).

Leonhart · 13th May 2005, 14:49

How do you install it or what ever you do with it

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 14:53

If you set boost at 0, there still remains some dynamics control, but very very little, so you won't notice it. I made it like this so it doesn't clip. Even if you get a sudden bass, the volume normalizes itself.

zootm · 13th May 2005, 14:55

Wow, that noise sharpening is pretty neat (just installed on foobar).

Unzip to Winamp\plugins\DSP_SPS, then in Winamp go to Preferences > Plug-Ins > DSP/Effect, select Nullsoft Signal Processing Studio, Configure and load the preset.

Leonhart · 13th May 2005, 15:02

It sounds very interesting and something i would want to see if i knew how to

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 15:03

You unzip it, and put it in winamp/plugins/DSP_SPS. Then you select the Sound Processing Studio Plugin from winamp and load my preset.

P.S. What is noise sharpening in fact? Because when I hear "noise" I'm thinking about ugly hisses and stuff. Oh and the code... I invented it myself, I even wonder how I got it to work

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 15:05

Damn, we're all posting the same time

gaekwad2 · 13th May 2005, 15:08

The term noise sharpening was made up by ssamadhi97 who wrote the plugin for foobar (originally a toy plugin to convert PCM to DPCM and back), it reminded him of image sharpening filters.

Leonhart · 13th May 2005, 15:08

yay thanks guys, lets give it a try

bodisan · 13th May 2005, 18:03

All I have to do now is to create a neat picture for the SPS and come up with a good name for it.

gaekwad2 · 13th May 2005, 18:45

Enhancer is already taken and I'd also drop the 'headphone' part (I first thought it was some kind of stereo crossfeed, as that's what's usually being advertised for headphones) since it's also useful with speakers.

Sorry that I can't come up with any positive suggestions.

bodisan · 14th May 2005, 12:03

Well, last night before I went to bed, it struck me: how aboute "Sound Colorizer"? OR "Simple Sound Colorizer" or something like this... because this name is definetly not taken. And in the end, that's what my sps does: it colorizes low and high frequencies...

MaTTFURY · 14th May 2005, 12:06

why isnt there a sps/dsp forum?

bodisan · 14th May 2005, 12:14

Well... that's what I asked myself yesterday, when I posted this. If I didn't find a SPS section, i just posted in the most visited section

Anyway, it would be good if one would be made, probably there isn't one because SPS is relatively new in WINAMP.

al.ish · 28th September 2006, 20:50

How do I install it? I've put it in Winamp/Plugins folder and nothing happend. I do not have any DSP_SPS subfolder under Plugins. Should I make one?
Thx.

mysterious_w · 28th September 2006, 21:04

Wow, odd thing to bump.

You can also load it from the plugins folder.

You do have Nullsoft Signal Processing Studio listed under Preferences > DSP/Effect? Otherwise reinstall Winamp (Full or Pro, over your existing one) and make sure it's checked in the installer (under Extra Audio Output/Effect Support).

Or did you put the zip into the plugins folder?

No, I don't and that was the reason
