Audio input into foobar2000 for spectrum analysis

2014-11-16 20:02:37

Hi guys,

foobar2000 is sick, and so is foo_musical_spectrum, bigups to developers,
i really cant live without them anymore, they are so good that i am searching for solution to make this question into reality:

Is it possible to have audio input into foobar2000 and have a spectrum view in foo_musical_spectrum component for live music production spectrum analysis?

I tried some stuff but im going nowhere, tried asio foo_out_asio, foo_record...

So did someone ever made it work?

Thanks

Kodin

Thanks for bringing up foo_record in this post, because it got me looking into it for my problem, which was routing all the audio coming out of programs I run through foobar2000's DSP chain.  I use Virtual Audio Cable (http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm), which lets you create virtual audio playback and recording devices in Windows.  If you use foo_record after setting the default playback and recording devices to a virtual audio cable created by the program, foobar2000 should output the audio after putting it through its DSP chain, if you have anything in it.  It'll cost you ~$25, though.  Why don't you try that?

Tnx for reply! I would buy it right away but dont know if it will work with foo_musical_spectrum component, i tried VB Audio Voicemeeter and cant seem to set it up, im doing something wrong i think, what do i need to setup in foobar2000 and foo_record? i only need it if it works with spectrum, if u say it will work 100% then buying avc

You can try before you buy .

You have to set in windows recording devices to Line 1 (virtual audio devices)  and in the application that you want to output to Directsound- Line 1.
 
Then start foobar with record:// .

Tnx very much for this tutorial

I did it without any additional software, but the spectrum is showing different image when u play the same track exported and when its going live from Cubase, like it adds some new harmonics into the spectrum, i will try now with VAC
