I'm trying to pass some external audio using the DS IN primitive into the Parametric EQ that martinvicanek attach for me in other topic.

But I'm not ably to send any signal.

I config the internal audio so the input recording was the wav/mp3 sound, this is working ok to (for example) recording into a DAW or similar.

What I want it's (since SM don't support mp3) play mp3 in any external player like winamp, windows media player or Itunes, and apply the EQ to this signal.

Is this possible?

I think there is a plugin for Winamp to use VST plugins. If I remember this wrong I know for sure Foobar can load vst's if you install a plug for it. There are two available plugins for Foobar that enables VST's one works better than the other. Don't remember witch.

Yeap, but In the end I want to do an exe file, but I'm using now the free version, so I want to try this inside SM, Also I think It would be more user friendly in this way.

Not possible with DS in SM - It's on my wish list 2... u can only select ASIO out in a Media Player Plugin and ASIO In in ur SM Prog like tor wrote!

🙁 !

I will try maybe do some built in with Foobar since it's open source...

Wish me luck!

Hi.

You can use J River. It supports VST plug-ins and plays MP3s.

But it isn't open source so I can't made a Player with a "default vst loaded".

Hi.

If you mean the ability to have a vst plug-in or plug-ins load automatically every time you execute J River, yes, you can.

J River will even remember your last settings upon shutting down and starting the media player.

You should just download the software and try it yourself. I might add you do not need an open source device for something minimum as using a third party extension.

Cheers!

To add ... WinAMP also has a VST adapter module you can add that will auto load your VST plug with the settings you saved.

Unless we are totally wrong with what you want to do 😕

Hehe, I want to do a noob player with random presets of fixed EQs to my first project

That's why I was try to play mp3s files first inside SM, but now I'm seeing a open source player, so I can give a compiled exe file with the vst pre loaded, I think in this way is more user friendly 😊

Bear in mind in the recording/mastering world wav/aiff files are standard. There is no benefit using MP3 files when testing the audio quality of your design. Use the WAV player on the wiki page, upload a wav file in the player and save it it as an osm. You can then add it to your tool box and call for it to test your plug-ins in synthmaker.

Cheers!

Yeap, but I'm not doing this for "pro" mixing, it's more like a test EQ, it's more common a user with a mp3 song library that a wav song library
