Hi SS users

I run a small stream and use SS2 with Winamp to play my mp3s.
I have my record mixer set up in \"stereo mix\" so as to use a microphone and also Wavelab for voiceovers.
Ive processed my voiceovers seperately which sounds ok.

Is there anyway to use SS2 to process every sound through stereo mix?

You would have to use a second winamp with Jasper\'s Line-In plugin, or another player that supports line-in playback and winamp dsp effects like Foobar2000.

Ideally though I would look into some automation software that can record from the mic into itself, and then output everything to a virtual soundcard, then using Winamp with Jasper\'s Line-in to process and encode the stream.

The problem you\'ll find with running all the sound through your soundcard is that, i\'m assuming, it\'s a soundblaster or some such AC97 codec on the card, and what that will do is resample EVERYTHING going in and/or our of the soundcard to whatever the chipset\'s maximum clock speed is, and back again.

So because of that you\'ll get aliasing distortion and noise (what Frank Foti calls \"digital grungies\") and also very bad ringing caused by the codec attempting (and failing miserably) to filter out the aliasing distortion.  The ringing actually creates harmonics all the way down to 2kHz region if it\'s a 44->48->44 conversion.


Er...  this is probably going to be too confusing...  let me know if I should elaborate more.

Hi jesseg,thanks for the reply
I think I understand whats needed.
I dont think I can run 2 winamps or any additional software as my pc struggles with what I have running sometimes.
I have winamp on high priority which keeps my stream with SS2 running smoothly.
I have a good compressor/limiter plugin in wavelab for the voiceovers even though the output shown in wavelab isnt the same as on my shoutcast software levels.
Its difficult to get the mic at the right level.
Thanks for your insight
By the way what is different about the standalone version?I assume it wouldnt process all of my sound, being standalone

The standalone version would process all of the sound running through it, so if you set it to record from your soundblaster (or whatever it is) with \"stereo mix\" set as the record source...  then that should work.

We also figured out that you can run any winamp plugin within the XAP loader, so basically you can run MuchFX2 and then load the XAP dll inside of that, and whatever other plugins you want...  such as Oddcast v3. B)

it gets a little more complicated with the latest XAP which creates a temporary XAP.dll in the system32 directory, but if you use the old methods I posted about (use the search function or browse a few pages back in the forums) with your XAP.dll, the real XAP, and whatever other plugins you need in the system32 directory instead, and make XAP.dll read-only...  that should still work.  :blink:

But um yeh.  It\'s unfortunate that SqrSoft Advanced Crossfader doesn\'t have the feature to mix in whatever recording source at the press/toggle of a button.  Because that would put the icing on the cake of an otherwise perfect output plugin.

There was some other plugin i tried that was an encoder and also had a toggle button for inputting from a soundcard recording source, but it had an awful soft limiter on it that couldn\'t be disabled, and that was ruining the dynamics.  Oh well.

Good luck, let us know how it goes and where to tune in if you get stuff rocking.  Smiley

I currently use the preset \"Lee Evans Daytime 4\" which I think sounds good and it enables me to easily set the music levels.
Most of the time the levels stay at around -1 on the level meter in the shoutcast software(I dont know what the technical term is for this)

If you want to tune in you can below.Let me know how I sound.Some of my mp3s arent of very good quality.
I stream in the AAC format so you will need winamp or equivalent.
