What is the best (highest sound quality) EQ plugin that will work in foobar 0.8.3? the built in one sounds like ass.

Sorry, I doubt anybody developed or is developing any EQ plugins for 0.8

If you're willing to upgrade to 0.9 you get much more variety in VST based EQ plugins (graphic as well as parametric).

VST host: George Yohng's VST wrapper for Foobar2000 - Hydrogenaudio Forums

Main reason I don't use foobar as much as winamp is because I have not found a EQ better than Shibatch super EQ on winamp.

I also got a plguin so I can play lossless on winamp, so all is well.

BTW, you can use all VST/DX EQ plugins with Foobar 0.8.x too ... you just need to use more 'wrapper' plugins to get them in use.


Also, for Winamp, I suggest to try Aixcoustic's Electri-Q for Winamp (freeware).

Do you know of a VST wrapper for 0.8.3 that is still available online?

All of them I could find were for >0.9 versions only......

Can you please provide a link to the necessary wrapper plugin(s)?

Now the signature seems to pop up again? Maybe there is some delay since I enabled it couple hours ago.

I.E. all needed plug-ins should be listed in my signature:

The VST Host plug in at foobar2000 3rd party components shows it's only good for >0.9...but does it also work for 0.8.3, maybe?

 

[eruditass]

i dont understand why people use fixed band equalizers...

Aixcoustic creations - THE HOME OF ELECTRI-Q and ELECTRI-Q (posihfopit)

fully parametric, so easy and intuitive to change freq, amp, and width, by far the best equalizer i've used, and i've used a lot.

Looks like I have updatet my sig somedar so here are those missing links:

For foobar2k 0.8.x you'll need

1. "Winamp DSP Plugin" (foobar2000 3rd party components (older ones may be hard to find anymore)

2. "VST Host DSP for Winamp" (link is in my sig)

Setup instructions are alredy posted here so little searching is needed.
