Title: How to convert files with DSP effects ?
Post by: michi95 on January 10, 2011, 06:35:33 pm

Is it possible to use DSP effects for format conversion ?
(if not, then please consider to add this option to MC16)

Or is the only alternative to use the Disk Writer output option and transcode (convert) the resulting WAV files later ?
Are there any alternative disk writer output plugins for MC15 (similar to Winamp output plugins to convert to other formats).

Or do you know other alternative tools (better than Winamp + DSP with Jasper's file writer output plugin) ?

Yes, Disk Writer is the only option currently.

This has been often requested, and I would like it as well.  My particular interest is DSP during conversion for DLNA.  Others want DSP on handheld upload.

No. Currently it is only available with Audio CD burning.

A good feature request. This has been requested before and if I recall correctly Matt from JRiver has said that they are considering adding it. This is the correct time to remind them. The option should be available with regular conversions and also with MP3 CD burning and handheld syncs (when MC is set to convert). It would have many possible uses like volume leveling or EQ corrections.

Yes. I have sometimes used the Disk Writer mode for creating cross-faded and volume leveled "DJ mixes".

No that I am aware of.

Sorry to bump an old thread on a first post...This is my particular interest as well. I am currently evaluating and do not see where that this has been implemented in the year since this statement. Any plans to do so? Thanks.
