It works really well in Foobar2000, though.Īlso Marvel GEQ and Overtone GEQ, and Tube Amp from Voxengo. Such a setup, even with only two speakers, can produce approximately 170 degree wide soundstage with considerably better imaging and sound localization than conventional stereophonics. Unfortunately, it crashes MC25, so I can’t use it. I got ambio.one, which processes 2-channel stereo to be presented on closely-spaced speaker pairs. This is a spatial image processor that enhances ambiance. I also installed Omnisone from Toneboosters. My preference is ‘Presence’, which makes the sound quality very immediate and punchy. The effect is heard immediately on switching. Toned provides a choice of gentle Loudness, Stereo Wide, Mid Channel Warmth, Bright Tilt, Low Tilt, and Presence. Such freely available plug-ins improve listening experience more than upgrading to more expensive components. They are easy to download and install into Media Center.įor example, Toned is a specialized tone shaping plugin with analog modeling. Toned is a superb tone control that can correct most poor recordings with the turn of a few knobs. Many are free-of-charge, and a few are suitable for audiophile use. There are a lot of Virtual Studio Technology (VST) audio Effect DSP plug-ins available. These are part of the onboard DSP Studio in Media Center. I’ve usually had ‘Living Room’ acoustic environment simulation and subtle surround field, as well as speaker distance / signal phasing optimisation, running. the cockos plugs are all 64-bit float too and he clips them over a hundred db and it just doesn't matter because they're not analog modeled or anything.Following my brief and ultimately frustrating encounter with Roon, and subsequent return to JRiver Media Center 25, I’ve been investigating some of it’s features that Roon doesn’t have, especially DSP (digital signal processing). See the Kenny Goia reaper gainstaging video. you can only clip externally running out to plugins or the outputs. Jriver operates at 64-bit float and you called a trim or a pad a "pre-amp."įloating point is insane. You clearly have no idea what you are talking with regards to gain staging. all of the others, including the "BASS AUDIO" library ones are low detail crap with truncation issues. Jriver is the only media player that can achieve a daw output sound quality with a good third party dither plugin that will cost you 20-50 dollars or about 100-200 if it's included in a limiter. meanwhile kush succeeded while high as a kite. many wannabes have tried at the dsp game and making stuff on modern computers worse than the 1990s efforts from sony oxford and waves. systems engineer does not mean you know shit about dsp programming. The burden of proof is on you for that sort of claim.Ĭlick to expand.stop being a fucking retard. JRMC has been used by thousands of anal-retentive audio nerds for years, including people like Archimago who love to measure and chart everything. Are they so incompetent they clip all audio at the first stage of the signal chain? No. Are the devs resistant to feedback or feature requests that require hundreds of hours of labor? I'm sure they are. I've also used their forum over the years when I had a question or wanted to advocate for a particular feature and "toxic" and "cult-like" are not how I would describe it. I don't use JRMC as my central music library anymore but damn if it isn't useful. As a software engineer, I'd think you'd appreciate the ridiculous scope of what they're doing and adjust your expectations for a small company accordingly. Too cheap to do that? Well, what do you want? They are building a do-everything audio and video application. If they only add something you like every three years, then upgrade every three years. You can upgrade or, crucially, not upgrade at your leisure. I'm not even on here that much these days and I'm generally your Friendly Neighborhood Midwesterner, but as a member in the Before Times, when Changstar still lived, I hereby call for b0dhi to shut the fuck up unless you have something clear and concise to say. HDCD is a whole 'nother thing that is weird and can be done offline (outside of JRMC) to let you hear what's going on.
