Thread: Software options for Tuning

durwood & ice -

I'm running into a bit of an issue with these VST plugins.

Take this free plug-in for instance: http://habib.webhost.pl/vst_eq31.php

In this picture:

It has a save button, yet, when I load it into the VST plug-in for WinAmp, the top part of it doesn't look anything like that.

So far, I haven't figured out how I would be able to save the settings I come up with in the EQs. Am I just simply overlooking something simple here?

You can save them. Whatever preset you are in is what the settings are automatically saved to. If you press the preset which is visible from the winamp vst plugin and console, you rename the preset. Try making changes. Then switch to a different preset. Rename that preset and then make changes.

So to use it:

1) Click "Preset" button and rename it.
2) Then make your adjustments.
3) Click on the drop down and select another preset.
4) Click onthe "Preset" button and rename that 2nd preset and then make your adjustments again.
5) Now you should be able to switch back and forth between the two different presets.

Any changes you make to each preset are automatically saved from what I have seen.

Hope this helps.

ah ha!

well that's simple...

Have you messed with more than one of the free eqs? Just wondering if you've noticed a difference in them?

Iceman - what player are you using? - nm - found the PM from a few months back....

I tested a few but it was more along the lines to see if they would/wouldn't crash or if they did a decent job of EQing without being just plain crappy. I think that part is just going to be what you need. The best part is that its super easy to use another one without unintsalling it from your car. I want to get my TRUE RTA setup again and really do some comparison to see how accurate they work, but it's not going to happen right now.

I won't be available to do much testing coming up. Lots of big things happening that are going to cconsume my free time. This is going to have to take a backseat. I'll be around though and lend assistance when I can.

nooo!!!

I'll be testing the different EQs as well with the RTA.

I'll also be testing True RTA and the set-up I'm going to be running and comparing it side by side with an AudioControl here hopefully in the next week or so.

Tomorrow, I think I'm going try and solder on the RCAs to the sound card so I can actually have some output....lol

Sorry to hear you will have to take a break from this project. I understand how it goes though...sometimes it seems like it's overwhelming, what with all of the information out there and the fact that it's not exactly something where we can just follow directions...

Iceman - do you already have a fully functioning system in your car that you do all of your tuning on? I don't know much about what your doing..sorry... - nm - I just remembered the PM that you sent a few months back...

hahaha. Well good news is I close on a house Dec 29. Even better news I will have a garage finally!

The House always wins...over the car that is. I'm not done, just the next month or so will be busy busy busy...

I'll play with software but just no measurements can be made.

well congrats! we're going to start looking here in a few months, tired of paying rent...

Does anyone here only use the KX project driver ???

If yes, it would be nice to start a new thread on it to show how to get the best out of it...

I ask it because it is, in my opinion, the cheapest way to get good result...

Thanks!
