And it does not lower the volume ;p

It would be nice to add ability to equalize all channels separately, so we will be able to route only hi-frequency tones on center channel.
There is a great EQ in fb2k, but as far as I know it can't be used to only one channel.
That's of course only my wish ;p

Gosh, when I'm looking at all those plugins I'd like to know how to code something like this
"The brightest flame burns quickest..."

Just in case that the author of this plugin doesn't look into threads in the general HA area. Here is a topic where I have a question regarding the plugin's downmixing behaviour: [a href='index.php?showtopic=44593']Downmixing 5.1 to Stereo[/a]. I'd greatly appreciate a comment.

Hello skypy,

I've run into a bass problem with ChannelMixer. I've just moved from a plain stereo to a surround configuration (Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic + Inspire T6060 speaker set.)

Foobar sounds good and clean when playing in stereo but, as soon as I insert ChannelMixer in the DSP chain, it all becomes too rich in low frequencies. I've played with the configuration a bit but it doesn't get much better.

As a temporary fix, I've added in the Equalizer and set the 110 Hz band to -10 dB. I've tried other upmixers which don't exhibit this problem, however I like the sound of ChannelMixer better.

Can you please help me understand why this happens so I can fix it ?

This is the BEST foobar plugin, esp in the DSP.  I have a logitech 5300 5.1 280 THX certified, and with this plugin the listeitng experience is amazing.  Noene of the other DPS - 5.1/upmixing related do the job as good as this plug in!  Outstanding!

One questoin:

If I have the 5.1 speakers, and chaintech 7.1 card, what setting of the plugin i need to use:

5 channel
or
6 channel

how can i fast change my channel_mixer profile? every time i must go to file->pref->dsp-> channel mixer->configure selected
i'm using headphones 5.1 and speakers 5.1 and don't want to enter there every time i need to change profile
are there any way to do if faster?

btw. someone knows any related topic to configure headphones 5.1?
already i've notice there should be bass redirection and maybe "rear in front" and "front in rear" a bit lower

You could do Control-P (in preferences stay at DSP manager), make a DSP preset for headphone and one for speakers (choose it and load).

switch to 2 channels for headphones?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

I got a problem with Volume in new Foobar2000 0.9.4.2, because when i activate Channel Mixer Volume Control in Foobar2000 doesn't work, i think it's because in this version of Foobar there isn't a Volume Control DSP, anyone know how to solve this problem?

great news dude! if you know any dates of first betas just drop them here so we will know when check thread again for new version

btw. 5.1/7.1 headphones are pretty rare so i think you may not consider them creating presets. anyway i would like to drop a link so you could put an eye on such headphones: http://www.genius-europe.com/en/produktdet...D=30&ID3=72
there are many USB 5.1/7.1 headphones which are in my opinion very poor cause USB isn't adaptated for sound. does you plugin work for USB multichannel sound systems?

Ah, so I wasn't imagining this 
As always, thanks for the update. The real-time settings change is appreciated.

Thanks Skipyrich. I do have a question though, much obliged for a reply. Since I have a direct 6ch (5.1) connection, I had found your plugin very useful as it allowed me to also get LFE through the satellites unlike Creatives CMSS. This made the sound much much better and I have set it just almost perfectly after a lot of trial and error and different types of music, including sub-woofer volume. If I update, will I need to re-do all my settings?

2sandeep108: The current update is not major, you will need to correct LFE volume only if you previously set it to extremely low value (like 0.01) to prevent overload.

Great plugin! I have a question: is the 2.1 speaker support planned, or do you think that it's not needed?

A matrix-mixer version of plugin is in development, but it eats too much CPU (~10 times slower than 0.9.5)... When I optimize it, you will able to use any channel configuration

btw. could you tell me one thing... what are the differences between your plugin and ProLogic II?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prologic
prologic2 seems to have some constant matrix-mixer... same as your plugin
soo... isn't your current version of plugin just prologicII plug for foo with different matrix-mixer?
