Thread: Anybody Using Allocator or Allocatorlite for Frequency Crossover?

I think the Thuneau VST plugins use something called VSTShell, which works with ASIO drivers so you don't need a VST host, like AudioMulch or CONSOLE...

As for WinAmp useage, have you read this?

It's a WinAmp wrapper for Allocator...simply use that with WinAmp, and nothing else is needed! It integrates Allocator inside WinAmp.

But you still MIGHT need VAC or Jack as your input source...

Thanks. I'm always confused about VAC & Console, Audiomulch functions. I think your advice helps to to clear my confusion now.

So its, Winamp + Allocator Wrapper->VAC->Xonar D2->Amps

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Also just for the knowledge of those who intend to use Allocatorlite, the default screen resolution is 779 x 669.

Cheers!

No, that's not right either...lol
When you setup your front end for which playback device to use, you can't use the Xonar...else the music with just play straight thru without and processing...
On my setup, VAC is my playback device in CF...simply, CF sends it's audio to VAC.
If I left it at that, there would be no sound at all, right?

So, in Mulch, it RECEIVES it's audio from VAC...then Mulch processes the audio and THEN it's finally sent to the sound cards, which of course, play the music...

With the WinAmp wrapper, I'm thinking you won't need VAC at all, as long as you can send the audio to the wrapper AND NOT the sound card FIRST...
The wrapper probably has to be used as a sound out device in your front end for it to work...

You really need to do some bench testing with this solution...

VAC is only used as a pass-thru device, for distributing the audio to other software.

To the best of my knowledge, the latest release of Frequency Allocator Light is from 2007. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and I don't like to use old software. Same with Console, not a new release in ages, I believe 2007 too.

The window of Frequency Allocator light is much too large for 800x480.

I would need separate delay sliders for left and right to avoid having to use separate delay VST plugins.

A registration to the Thuneau forum failed because supposedly my chosen username was illegal and I tried quite a few. So I can't post questions there.

Is there a reasonable 3 channel crossover, parametric equalizer and 6 channel delay VST plugin?

I'm using VAC and ASIO4All, Console (Art Teknika), Crossover 3-Way v0.6, Voxengo Sound Delay.

No EQ at this time. I don't find the time to measure stuff. Lots of other work to do.

I'd like to get rid of Console because it's unreliable in my install. I've never got an alternative to work though.

If there wasn't a 6 dB gap at each crossover frequency, the sound output of the two respective speakers would add up to a bump in the frequency response.

So this can't be a reason not to use this plugin.

I'll try to remember replying more after some more research.
