General Audio / Re: Another audiophile "expert"
Last post by fooball -
Perhaps you can suggest a situation where the sort of thing people are likely to do in SoX (or whatever) will exceed 32-bit processing.  I can understand needing some headroom in the processing chain over the 16 bits of CD-quality, and I can understand that 64 bits provides a much greater dynamic range, but is that amount of dynamic range ever actually necessary?  You can simultaneously mix 65,536 individual 16-bit sources in 32 bits, and that would be one heck of a sound stage.  Can you tell the difference in a blind listening test between 32-bit processing and 24-bit processing, let alone 64-bits vs 32-bits?

It's a more intelligent approach to understand how much resource is required and only throw that much at it.  Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "have to", and being disparaging about other users' choices is narrow-minded and insulting.

Added menu items (under View / DSP) to open individual running VST effects, without having to click through Preferences.
I wonder what it shows there, I guess it's WIP. After switching the presets, mostly it shows only the equalizer, which isn't even part of my presets.

Date column in the main window continues to forget its width. Not systematically, only from time to time, so I’m not sure what causes this. But sometimes I see, say, just two digits instead of four. And, alas, they are still proportional, not tabular.

General - (fb2k) / Integration of Airwindows plugins?
Last post by Squeller -
Hey, Peter, others, what do you think? Now fb2k is a player and not a DAW, but since we have the VST host in DSP manager, it opens up possibilities.

And very recently, all the Airwindows plugins got distributed in a very handy package.
https://www.airwindows.com/consolidated/
https://github.com/baconpaul/airwin2rack/releases/tag/DAWPlugin

Which makes this huge collection of 400 quality plugins very organzied and usable. Surge XT VST instrument has them integrated, maybe fb2k could collab with Chris as well?

We can use it of course, but currently the way is a bit clunky... DSP manager, then VST subpage...

Best regards.

VLevel DSP in the x64 version is all I need for my life - I can only say THANK YOU
For classical music (or more general, music with high dynamics) listeners, so essential and effective for casual listening, or in car/louder areas.
