Head-Fit: Software Crossfeed and EQ - Page 21

make sure that you have the vst wrapper enabled on your foobar dsp panel. If the sliders move and you can change the settings on headfit, it usually means that it is working because if it wasn't enabled, you wouldn't even be able to see any change in the values when you move the sliders in the settings

well i dono :( i cant tell anything, i use the EQ from the head fit though

so does the eq work? If you can hear the differences on the eq then theres no chance that the crossfeed isn't working.

lol yh the eq does work. Btw do you know the best alternative crossfeed i can use?
 

If you want something that you can hear right away and feel the transition from left to right channel affected more drastically, try bs2b. the default settings are pretty nice IMO

ok ill try it tommorw i hope it works with the newest foobar because last time i think it didnt work but ill see.

the version a month or two ago worked with it. I was just using it before I shifted to Linux

This + VAC = God mode! Thanks for this great plugin. :)

Oh and use ASIO4All for mucho less lag!

Where do I download the foobar plugin for this? I cannot find it for the life of me... it seems as though the download links have gone offline, and I don't want to mess around with some .exe... I just want to run this thing as a foobar plugin...
 

EDIT: I downloaded some Foobar VST dll plugin (whatever that means) and installed it... but I still have no clue what to do next... I just want my old blues/jazz recordings to utilize both channels... I need some serious help (i.e., step-by-step directions) here.

I don't have the slightest clue how to get to that screen where I can configure the settings that donunus has been tweaking/mentioning.

I tried running the headfit.exe and it gives me a weird message about attack.dll and I really don't understand what is going on here.

get this first http://www.yohng.com/software/foobarvst.html

then enable it in the dsp plugins on foobar then the configure the box at the bottom at the taskbar to point to wherever the headfit dll is than it should be smooth sailing from there.

First off, thank you for the reply, donunus.

I think my problem might be with my expectation of what crossfeed is supposed to do.

This is one of the main songs I keep using for a reference track; do you hear how intense that left-channel guitar is?

I *thought* that with Crossfeed that I would be able to blend that guitar into both channels; am I mistaken?

try bs2b for foobar, it should give you a more natural crossfeed so far as getting a more speakerlike, less intense left to right separation. Headfit is a little more subtle but you can change the settings to give less separation to a certain degree but not that much.

BS2B has a weird effect on the sound... certainly *less* subtle than Head-Fit... BS2B appears to move the peripheral sounds more "forward" and it also appears to dampen/mute them a little bit... At first instinct, I am inclined to say this is modification is a bad thing, but I think the overall effect is less fatiguing on each individual ear...

I'll keep playing around with it. Thanks again.

Yah bs2b is a little more damaging to the signal than headfit but if crossfeed is what you need, it works just for that. Try volume matching when comparing bs2b vs no dsp too because bs2b does lower the level of the signal to prevent from clipping. Also, don't forget to try the naive software crossfeed for foobar too. http://www.naivesoftware.com/software.html
