Distortion with JRiver Equalizer [Solved]

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mike48:
I use the DSP in MC and never have had this problem. It's hard to guess where the distortion is arising, but many DACs overload with any digital over-range at all. To follow up on what Matt suggested, if you are using a boost at any frequencies, it's best practice to cut the overall level in the equalizer settings by at least the amount of the largest boost. (That would be the "preamp" slider in the Equalizer DSP feature.) If that doesn't fix it, I'm at a loss.

I have had trouble with a few MC features, but EQ and PEQ have so far worked flawlessly for me.

Can you tell me how I access to the "preamp"? I don't see any, of course foobar has one but JRiver?...

Have you tried these files in a different player - perhaps the files themselves have the clipping effect - I have suffered from clipped file distortion which was in the files themselves. Perhaps irrelevant but who knows? You can use Audacity to look at the files to see if clipping in the original is the problem.

On my display of MC, and I hope yours, there are three icons near the top right. One is to adjust repeat, the middle one to adjust shuffle, and the right one looks at the audio path.  Click the right one, and a dialog will open. Near the top left is a button labeled "DSP Studio...". Click that.

In the DSP Studio that opens, you select modules on the left and adjust their settings in the rest of the window.

If you are using JRiver MC's preset EQ bands, check "Equalizer" on the left. The left-hand slider is the Preamp adjustment. Set to cut by 3 dB more than the maximum boost.

If you are using your own Parametric EQ bands, click "Parametric Equalizer" instead. The first filter you should generate is one to "Adjust Volume." Set to cut by 3 dB more than the maximum boost, and make sure you have applied it to all channels.

Hope that helps.

Damm man, I was blind to not see "pre-amp" there, Sorry LOL.  Now it does not distort(yeah tested the song before with Foobar and EQ and it was not the song problem), I have been using the JRiver EQ for a lot of time, but I did not know about this. Thank you very much, SOLVED
