I love the this new stereo tool plug-in. I would like to know how best to go about recording my enhanced stereo mixes?


Thanks.

HI, Sherwin

Can you be more specific about your question?

- Am I understanding correctly that you want to process songs, and stored the processed version of the songs (for example for playback on an MP3-player or something? Or do you create music yourself that you want to process before releasing it?)
- Are you using Winamp, AIMP, MediaMonkey, SAM, RadioBoss, a VST application, stand alone version, ...?

Assuming that I did understand your question correctly, and assuming that you're using Winamp:
- If you want to process audio with no quality loss (for example if you're recording music and want to process it before releasing it): Use the Winamp Disk Output plugin (go to Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Output, then select Nullsoft Disk Writer; press Configure to select the output directory). The processed audio will be written to a .WAV file.
- If you want to create MP3s (for example for an MP3-player where you cannot run Stereo Tool): Get an MP3 output plugin for winamp (for example Lame MP3 Writer), then you can immediately re-code the output to MP3 format. This will cause some quality loss; make sure to set the bitrate high enough.

Sorry for my long delay after my very first post on this board. My life has been pretty busy.

What I was basically asking is this, Is there is any sensible way of "re-recording" music, and have the new file capture all of the stereo tool enhancements, and basically have it sound just like it sounds when playing the original song straight through Winamp & the Stereo Tool plug-in itself. And yet also not lose any of the original audio quality, or at least not to any noticeable degree.

I would like to take stereo tool's enhancing qualities with me, such as in my iPod, or in the car, or in a boat or in a jar.... why I'd like to take it anywhere, I TELL YOU, SAM I AM!

Thanks for any educational tips or insights.

Peace :)

Then you should probably use the MP3 output plugin that I mentioned before. WAV output probably won't work on iPods etc, and it will take up far too much memory.

So:
- Install LAME MP3 output plugin
- Select that plugin
- Configure it (select proper output path, and a HIGH bitrate!)
- Play your tracks. You won't hear anything, but the processed output will be written to new MP3 files.

Awesome! Thank you for your quick response and for clarifying that for me.

I am kind of a beginner when it comes to these kinds of things. Though I'm very passionate about music and sound quality. So I will probably be posting more comments & questions here in the future. So far I've just been fiddling around with different controls and settings, but I am still pretty clueless about what exactly does what, or why. But it sure sounds lovely, and I have a "quad core" system with a fairly good on-board sound card.

Did you help design the actual program itself?


Thanks once again :)
