Sounds promising. Saved it and will give it a try later. Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with installing the Bitter plug-in onto my foobar2k? I hav been using this very useful plug-in with JRiver but I want to completely switch to Foobar and just can't make this plug-in work on the Foobar platform. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is the plug-in itself:

don't quote me on this, but I think that foobar will by default handle everything as 32bit. from memory, in my case bit depth inside foobar itself would actually go down only after adding a VST for that specific purpose like some dither thingy. but of course the signal actually coming out of foobar and sent to the DAC will be at whatever bit depth decided one way or another.
my point is that I suspect bitter's bit depth to be a useless parameter showing the same value no matter the file. but the clipping alert on the other hand should work fine, so if that's what you're after, you're good.


and in case you're allergic to google, to use VSTs in foobar you need to first install a "VST host". I'm using one creatively labelled foo_vst. and after that, for any VST you're going to add, you need the 32bit version and not a VST3 or a 64bit versions as sometimes provided in the package as those are not compatible with foobar.

Well, a little late, but I have made this plug-in work. It shows up in a separate window and I wonder if I can display it permanently on the Foobar program itself?
