![]() ![]() The sampling rate and number of channels in all my mp3s are the same, only the encoding bit rates are different. I guess it makes sense that the Nullsoft decoders' audio is a fixed bit rate. The optional resampler currently has about a 65 seconds playback pause, if the sample rate changes between tracks. It also has an optional, more precise, resampler that can not adjust to sample rate changes on the fly. Ultimately it's probably just sheer dumb luck that, so far, all your audio files decode to the same sr/nch/bps.Maiko can adjust to sample rates/channels/bps changes on the fly, by default. The encoding might be variable but the output is constant because audio devices (as far as I know) aren't capable of switching between sample rates/channels/bps on the fly and neither are the output plugins capable of doing so. If you have a need for upsampling/upmixing, I hope you get a chance to try it soon.Īs I understand it, I think that's down to the difference between what the audio was encoded to (VBR/quality/what-not) and what the audio ultimately is decoded to by the various input plugin's transcoder functions, which is what X-Fade uses to get the audio data. Maiko is still in development, but what is available now works great. My sound card can process 24 bit - 96 KHz audio, Maiko upsamples and lets me custom upmix stereo to my 6 speaker channels. Gapless playback is ok, but its just not as good as crossfading, especially with dance tracks. The Maiko dev decided not to include crossfading in his plug-in and I was missing what I had gotten used to with Nullsoft's DirectSound output plug-in. So far I've only tried it with mp3s and I have the Nullsoft mp3 plug-in configured to load the entire tracks into memory. I figured yours may work because it hooks in with the input plug-ins, ahead of the buffering in the DSP and output plug-ins. ![]() Sometimes the timing would get screwed, on transitions between tracks, just playing through a playlist. I also had the playback timing messed up, when seeking, when trying to use crossfaders stacked with DSP or output plug-ins. Since I don't have a Windows Vista/7 box at the moment I can't test the Maiko plugin but that's great to know it currently handles that well.There are no problems with seeking/flushing to a new track. My experience with the native DS, WO, and most other output plugins for Winamp is that on seeking/flush to a new track the plugins will introduce either output gaps, clicks, or other artifacts that can mess-up the playback timing rate (DS is really bad on this) and that is why I limit it's use to null output plugins. If this function is disabled, would it be best to just turn the WA Equalizer off. I only use the WA Equalizer for it's clipping limiter. The main player displays a fixed bits per second rate (1411kbps), but my tracks have various rates and the crossfading still works. Namely, the audio sample rate, bits per second, and number of channels must be the same between audio tracks to crossfade and the native Equalizer functions in WA are disabled. I was wondering if version 1.3 has the same caveats as earlier versions. ![]() I'm using it with the Enhancer DSP plug-in and the Maiko WASAPI output plug-in, so far no problems. I know you state "THIS PLUG-IN IS ONLY FOR SHOUTCASTERS USING A NULL OUTPUT PLUG-IN". Yours is the only one I've been able to find and it works perfectly. I've been looking for a crossfader that works with WA and Windows 7 and does not need to be stacked with other DSP or output plug-ins. It includes X-Fade 1.3, LiveWire 1.9, and ZeroPointer 1.4 with full installers.Hi thinktink, Configure “ Audio source to broadcast” as “ PlayIt Live Main Mix” then press “ Add” to create and configure a new stream as described in the image below.I am attaching a zip file with updated versions of my plugins that I tested with.Press on “ Off Air” to configure your Shoutcast stream, this is a button.
