What is DSP?

squakMix · 18th June 2004, 04:40

What does a dsp plugin do? Is there anything that Truely makes an mp3 sound better, or just stuff that runs it through a series of modifications?

Direct Sound Plugin.

As far as I know, it just enhances things like bass, treble, etc.

Try google.

They can be used to alter the sound in any way you want before it is output (like a filter), for example could be used for reverb, bass, treble.....

I always thought is was DSP as in what's used in sound recording and keyboards and stuff to add effects, being
Digital Signal Processing

Not quite, idiot, it stands for Digital Sound Processing. Purpose : modifying the sound (for better or worse)

note to self: If you got to be anal about terminology, at least be quicker than the rest of the pack.

ones like enhancer and dfx claim to reconstruct the high end removed from mp3s, add virtual suround and some stuff.

all they really do is add more high end treble, pump up the bass, and seperate the stereo a bit more.

You could have edited your previous post to say that, also as said before DSPs can be used to alter the sound in any way (a few good but many bad).
