Channel Mixer (foo_channel_mixer) Options

[Death|Knight]

thanks ultranalog!

[skipyrich]

I'll try to find a way for you give you write access to the folder so you can update the file yourself.

Don't trouble to do that - I will move my site to the new hosting soon.

Ok, I'm goin' to line up in order to give you a big thx :=)

Well that's really a funny thing about foobar that you believe a certain component is not available - but then you see all of a sudden that it accually was.

Your component is especially great because as far as I know there was only one Winamp plugin which could accually handle that job and it crashed all the time .

Ok so here's my obvious and notorious feature request: Will there ever be a chance of seeing a matrix configuration like in the matrix mixer?

Cheers,

Chris

I don't think so... My ideas are moving in the another direction.

Hi,

I added a page about Channel mixer on my website:
http://eolindel.free.fr/foobar/

But I'm not sure of all I said on this page about the settings, could you correct me or give me some hints about the "holes"? I left

the page itself is here:
http://eolindel.free.fr/foobar/channel.html

thanks

Stereoimage width:
What you mean by "tiredness" in reference to this option?

Rear in front: amount of the signal of rear channels in the front channels.
Front in rear: --\\--
Invert: 180 degree phase shifting

[Bachi-Bouzouk]

I was thinking of problems of stereo, as it could tire to listen from 2 different speakers with the same channel (in copy mode especially), I don't know if I explain myself well.. In some way, it could create the same problem as with headphones (which is corrected with "crossfeed" ) with problems for the brain to locate where the sound comes from.

Anyway, thanks a lot. I edited my page with your corrections

Hi.

I am a person who asked about 2.1 setting. Do you remember? ^^

I am using your component well. Then I have a question again.

In the 2.1 mode, how much subwoofer volume is right?

I think 1.0 is a little loud, and 0.5 is small somewhat.

0.6 or 0.7?

In my general concept, 0.5 or 1.0 has to be correct answer.

But my ear tells me "0.65 is suitable..."

My ear is wrong? I want to know correct answer.

Thanks all the time. Sorry for my poor language...

I don't have a subwoofer, therefore I can't advice you to use any kind of settings.

In theory, the sub volume should be set to 1.0, but in practice there is many things from which the resulting sound depends - subwoofer's SPL, position in the room, acoustic response of the room, etc...

Trust your ears!

Question real quick. Did you change the output channels to 4 or 6? Also, are you getting sound from all the channels with from other software? Hope this helps, good luck!

hello. it's on 6. and i can hear sounds from other programs, ie wmp10

[Gecko]

Go to "upmix" tab. Set mode to "copy" or "surround".

[jaybot]

sound still only comes out from the two front speakers.

[ultranalog]

Just to be sure, your 5.1 isn't digital, is it? Foo_channel_mixer is not a dolby/dts encoder.

[jaybot]

hm.. forget it, ihave no idea what that means..thanks for your help.

actually, problem fixed.
i went to control panal, and my sound setting was on desktop speakers, changed to 5.1 and then re-enabled the plugin. and whalah, works.

lovin what im hearing now!!!!!!

Hello,
I’m a french user
I use foo_dsp_continuator & channel_mixer, i have no problem with one or other separately. But with 2 together, after 1 or 2 song, the begin of next is with a delay, like a chorus, i have multiple departure of song. I have to stop and restart until the next bug.


EDIT : After few more test without channel_mixer i already have the same bug, channel_mixer is for nothing

[SafirXP]

apologies... patience is the key i guess.

well, i think this plugin should come with by foobar by default, or at least in the "special" version!

[cooler]

Hi.. I wonder why you haven't released a newer version.. it's been a while since 0.8 alpha was released. Do you intend to release a newer version anytime soon Skipyrich? I hope you do.. Anyway, NICE WORK!

[ultranalog]

Why? There's nothing wrong with the current version. It works perfectly and there'll be enough work adapting it when FB2k 0.9 final comes out.

[skipyrich]

Version: 0.9 alpha

- added: bypass option
- added: foo_delay has been merged into this project
- changed: profiles page design
- fixed: crash on 2->1 mix
- fixed: crash on windows shutdown

http://skipyrich.siteburg.com/store/foo_channel_mixer.zip

Warning: To safe migrate from older versions please store your profiles to file then install the newer version of plugin and then import profiles from file.

PS. Will no more versions before foobar0.9 is released!

[mixcherry]

I get this error with the new version:

ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_channel_mixer.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.

I've got both msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll in my foobar2000 directory. Does your plugin need any additional libraries? There were no errors with previous (0.8alpha) version.
