Seamless crossfade everytime, on manual or automatic title change Options

[nufchavq]

Hello
I saw that it was a recurrent problem to make foobar do acceptable crossfading between tracks. Indeed, there are two major extensions (Continuator and Gapless Crossfader) that would allow foobar to do it but in all default configurations it was hard to obtain a really seamless crossover between tracks, especially when manually changing tracks. It was a main reason to my to stay with 0.8.x foobar with it DirectSound 2.5 that allowed me to do that crossfading by setting the good cache value. But DirectSound 2.5 is no more supported in foobar 0.9.x nor in Vista.. So after a dozen of unsuccessful tries, I think I found a right extension/settings combination. Just see below:

First install VC8 sp1 runtime libraries in order to get the extension to work

Then install Gapless Crossfader http://acropolis.lokalen.org/wp-content/pl...wnload.php?id=1
(official site: http://acropolis.lokalen.org/2006/10/fooba...000-components)

If you have Continuator, disable it



Activate Gapless Crossfader into DSP Page



Enable what's shown





Configure the extension in the DSP Page



Set the buffer lenght



Set the fading control



And it should crossfade! Hope it would help someone.. )

I am not sure if this is what you mean by "manually changing tracks", but here's what I'm looking for (can you tell me if this will accomplish what I need?)

Halfway through a song, if I switch to a different song, will it crossfade? It does this on my Rio Karma, and love it. Is there a plug in that will?

Thanks.
