Plugins

MP3 Stream Editor's powerful plugin system allows usage of DSP, visualisation and stream processing plugins. There is no limitation one plugin can be multiple of these predefined types or could even allow some specific tasks.

  • Plugins can be assigned globaly or to a specified stream. If no stream is selected then checked plugins will be assigned to all acquired streams automatically. This selection will be saved and loaded the next time you start the app. If you want to assign a plugin to a single stream select it from the list and checkmark the plugin(s) you want to use. Global plugins will be checked already. To activate the checked plugins the stream has to be acquired for Bass.

  • The limit is 255 DSP plugins per stream, and one visualisation plugin per stream. (There may be cases when a visualisation plugin doesn't use the 3D panel for rendering and acts like a DSP. This way more than one vis plugin can be used. More about developing plugins here.) DSPs are used in the order, this means that the first DSP plugin in the list gets the audio data to process first, then the second one gets this processed data, and so on. You can drag the plugins in the list to change the order with the mouse. Once the plugins are activated their priority can't be changed until they are activated again at their new position in the list.

  • Stream 32bit WAV Plugin will pre-process the audio with the selected DSPs and stream the final result to the output file.

  • Recording channels can have DSPs assigned as well. The recorded stream will have the DSPs applied.

  • Double-clicking a plugin in the list will popup it's config dialog.

  • Winamp DSP Plugins must reside in the MP3 Stream Editor\Plugins\DSP\dsp_*.dll folder. In MP3 Stream Editor you can assign multiple Winamp DSPs to one stream.
    Note however not all Winamp DSP plugins are guarantied to work with MP3 Stream Editor!
