You can do that in the Graphic Equalizer plugin. Switch mode to Stereo and then you can control each channel separately using the Volume slider (take Auto checkbox off).
Of course the drawback is that if you want to use the EQ, you have to set it up separately for both channels too.


Ok thank you. From my understanding That EQ is always on. If it is set at flat is the sound being distorted at all? There seems to be an echoey sound. I would for sure try to use the Graphic EQ for the balance but not have it change the sound of the music at all.

  I don't hear any echo or distortions, and generally this EQ is considered high quality. Doesn't hurt to try - takes only a few minutes to set up and it's free.


Yes it seems to be working for me, thank you. So if I leave the EQ at flat, than the sound is not being distorted any more than before I installed the Graphic EQ plugin correct? Thanks again

Wow, I just bumped into this thread and eager to apply the sacd  player onto my foobar. Anyone has n idea how can I do it? The needed sacd plugin has been put into my components folder already since i  can see sacd in my preferences -> tools menu.
 
Yet I can't play back sacd material. I have made some search on the internet and found it's rather complicated. So anyone could help I'd APPRECIATE IT!!
 
Thanks in advance

The sacd plugin requires that you have a DSD capable dac. The installation will vary depending on which DSD dac you are using. You should refer to the web site of your dac manufacturer for specific instructions for your dac (assuming it has the ability).

I was wondering if anyone has been using this bass exciter for foobar?

I have it installed on my foobar as it appears in the installed components' list but for some reason I can't see it on the actual panel. Anyone has an idea?
 
Thanks.
 
P.S.: I tried to use the Effect DSP but can't make it work either :frowning2:

Is there a tutorial on how I can make my lay out like this one? Particularly how the album are arranged as well as their art on the list?
Awesome!

Somehow I missed those VU plug-ins as well! They look and work fantastic!!! They are not accurate though.

  I'd like to leave this link here for future finds, if any of you current users know what to do with it and utilize it, feel free to download: http://felixmcli.org/archives/227


Interesting. What is it good for?

It's an odd plugin where you can invert the phase out of one channel. Let's say for example you have a speaker amplifier and have a 2.0 setup with passive speakers. If you get one side of the cable backwards and you'd rather invert the phase at the digital source, you wouldn't have switch the + and - at the speaker terminal. Now you may say that is nonsense, why not just switch the cable around. Well you can...but then you don't get the benefit of inverting the phase out of one channel and switching it back at the speaker terminal.

How do you benefit from switching the speaker terminal and phase inversion? Well if you invert phase at the source, the power supply of both your DAC and AMP benefits from having to work opposites instead of together in the push/pull. One side will be a push while the other side will be a pull, thus evening the load on the power supply of your amp. When you do this, something incredible happens in clarity, sub-bass/bass, attack, decay, etc. It's a neat trick.
