I'm now building my new CarPC with Asus Xonar D2 with the intention of using Allocator or Allocatorlite for my 3 way active sound tuning.

But I can't find much info / thread about it.

1. Does anyone use Allocator for crossover tuning?

2. Will it work with Winamp & RR?

3. Is it possible to have Allocator in the Startup folder & load its presets once Winamp/RR startup?

4. Do I need VAC or Jack (Line Routing) with Console or just Allocator Winamp Plugin to implement this?

5. Will it fit into my 800 x 600 screen?

My audio setup will be :

Xonar D2 Asio Out->Winamp/RR->Allocator->Amps->3 Way active

Thanks...

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.
