New plugin: GPL Freeverb

[dllmain]

I wrote a new DSP plugin: GPL Freeverb.

I just thought I make a new thread here to let you know.
Feel free to report bugs and post your fine-tuned presets here.

Tried it, looks very promising. Well done.

Maybe, I'll test it tomorow a little more.

Keep on your good work.

I realized using the edit/combo box for both
preset selection and entering new preset names
was a bad idea. So I introduced an extra dialog
for preset creation.

What's new:

• Extra dialog for adding presets
• Fixed: Bug when deleting presets
• One more built-in preset

Looking good so far.

You should rework the "On" button. It's hard to see, if the button is checked or not. (At least under XP Luna, your screenshot is ok)

Maybe you could change the behavior of the button. If the plugin is active, the button could show "Off" if the plugin isn't active, the button could show "On".

Keep on your good work.

Button now also toggles "ON"/"OFF" like you suggested.
Thanks for your feedback!

How do I install/use it? When I download, I get something I don't know how to use. Is there some kind of installer or way of enabling it? I'm running Windows 7 ultimate x64, with the latest version of WinAMP.

Inside the zip archive there's a folder labeled "Binary". Open it and copypasta the only file in there to your Plugins folder inside of the Winamp folder.

GAWD I can't spell today...

Hi swingdjted,

With Winamp shutdown, copy the .dll file from the Binary folder in the zip file to the Winamp/Plugins folder. You may be asked for permission to copy the file. Since this is an old plug-in, you probably need to run Winamp in Administrator mode to select it and set it up. After it is setup, you should be able to run Winamp normally and it should work.

However, it is usually not a good idea to use old plug-ins with Windows 7. Windows 7 has restrictions on what folders files can be written to and on how entries to the registry are made. Old plug-ins that are not compatible with these restrictions may not work correctly and could cause problems with Winamp.

Aye, but your post has more Win7 specific details though.

Ahh, I got it to work; thank you.

The effects are subtle but still good. Cranking them all up causes distortion but using presets produces pretty good effects.

The config window stays "always on top" and there isn't a way to minimize it that I have found. Is there a way I can work on this?

When I change a setting, it takes several seconds to respond. The computer has pretty strong specs, so is it a buffering issue or something else causing the delay?

Overall, I like the plug-in. Thank you for making it.

These things are probably due to that plug-in being over 6 years old and maybe not too good to begin with.

Don't know what kind of effects you are interested in, but have you tried "Enhancer". It is also an older plug-in, but DrO has made a wrapper for it to handle the Win 7 compatibility problems.

"Stereo Tool" is a very good DSP plug-in for correcting and/or enhancing the sound of digital music.

I'll check out the other options you mentioned, but if they don't work well, I'll still be pretty happy with this one, mainly because I can drag the on-top window to a secondary monitor, plus it at least stays under visualization when I go fullscreen (only tried with milkdrop so far). I like it.
