Hey guys, what's the best Equalizer plugin for Winamp 2.X? Right now I use Decisoft's DeciEQ. Its okay, but very beta and feature-less. Anyone know of something better?

After 10 minutes I can't get it to work like a normal EQ, so I'm going to pass on this one as well.

Correct. You can't boost anything to prevent possibility of clipping. Well I don't know what else is there.

Personally, I endorse Ozone for Winamp, although it's not freeware. However, a time-limited demo can be downloaded via the iZotope website.

You didn't mention what features you're looking for, but if you're committed you can certainly try installing Adapt-X for Winamp 2.x.

In principle, Adapt-X will allow Winamp to host any number of (professional) DirectX plug-ins. For example, one DirectX EQ app favored by Head-Fi member gerG is BlueParamEQ.

winamp has a built-in EQ...and with any setup over 50 bucks, just leave it off

Thanks for the info.


Can someone explain to me out Direct X audio plugins work? I've downloaded them before, but couldn't figure out how to use them.

st5150, since DirectX audio plug-ins aren't stand-alone applications, they need to be run from within a so-called DirectX "host application".

Invariably, these DX hosts are pro-audio apps like Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro, Cakewalk Pro Audio, Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, Steinberg Cubase, and so on.

Hence, the utility of Adapt-X for Winamp. Specific plug-in/host compatibility is always a potential issue, but naturally that's true for any software. Check the following link for more info.

The DirectX Files - X-Defined:

DirectX 8.0 (and above) actually has a primitive built-in parametric EQ (of which multiple instances can be run), along with a number of other effects, but these only support 16-bit processing resolution. Still, I suppose it's a convenient introduction to working with parametric (versus graphic) equalization. Just don't expect any slick GUI, LOL.

Sorry abit out of the topic. I found QDC (quinessential) to sound better on my laptop compared to winamp 2. but it crashed everytime I use a DSP plugin so i stop using it.
you may want to try the QDC and see if you like it, you can always uninstall it if you dont like it, i beleive it doesn't have any spyware. regards
