Hi,

I want to be able to EQ the output of my soundcard (Audiophile 24-96), so I can 'flattern' my speakers with my SPL meter, but there's no EQ on the hardware or software driver.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to run a VST plugin across the ouput so I could chose which 31 band EQ to use.

I was thinking of buying a Behringer GEQ31 which is pretty cheap these days, but I'd prefer a software solution.

I guess it would be some kind of standalone VST host or virtual driver, but I can't seem to find anything. I had look at 'Chainer' but I dont think it does what I need...

Cheers for any ideas!

P.S Actually, are there any other soundcards that allow this??

There`s a new room correction VST plugin coming from IK Multimedia.

G'day, I think what he really wants [tm] is a tool that takes the audio output of the soundcard, processes it and replaces the original output with the processed sound, so that whatever audio would(!) come out of your PC is processed first.

Unfortunately that's not possible without digging deep into the DirectX/Coreaudio internals.

(of course if you have an audio card with several outs you can do this via routing, but that's something different]

The Patchbay / Router In addition to the built-in monitor mixer, the Audiophile 2496 Digital Recording Interface includes an output patchbay/router. The patchbay/router allows each output (analog or digital) to be connected to a variety of input sources. The Audiophile 2496’s outputs may accept audio from software sources (the output devices visible in your audio software applications) or from hardware sources such as the analog and digital inputs or the monitor mixer. This capability makes the Audiophile 2496 quite flexible for WAV output, monitoring, or directly connecting inputs to outputs for “system test” purposes.

OK. Thanks for the replies everyone.

TomC ~ That was what I was wondering.

Cheers.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
