Winamp 2x Plugins

Winamp est le logiciel audio (et vidéo) qui propose le plus de plugins, au point qu'il est difficile de s'y retrouver parmis les centaines de fonctions additionnelles proposées grâce à ces petits programmes !
Les plugins que je trouve le plus utile et utilise régulièrement sont notamment :
- Entrée : Musepack (pour lire les fichiers mpc), Tara (pour les fichiers Real), et Ogg Vorbis (pour les Ogg).
- Sortie : File Writer (pour enregistrer sur le disque dur)
- DSP/Effect - Amélioration : TomSteady (améliore le rendu audio de certains tracks)
- DSP/Effect - Outils : crossfades, lyrc (avoir les paroles), mexp (équivalent du Real Jukebox)

AdaptX v35
(Ianier Munoz)
DirectX Plug-in Adapter for Winamp

If you're serious about sound quality...
This great plugin combines the best player with all the great DirectX plugins you may have.
My only complaint is that it cannot start hidden when you load winamp, so I get this huge Sound forge 10 band EQ looking at me everytime I start winamp! Fix this and it's a 6, not a 5!
If you're an audiophile, u should get iZotope oZone Direct X version. when u run it with this buddy, ur music sounds like it is coming from heaven > go to the ozone website and download the mastering manual : i sat for days together trying diff settings, and now music sounds totally different. i wish i could give 10

Bobware Stereo Delay 2
(Rob Evans)

A small, efficient stereo expander
A simple but very effective DSP! I never thought that my crappy little speakers could sound this good!!
Works well on those mono recordings. Tricks you into thinking they're in stereo.

CompWide
(Martin Pesch)
Dynamic enhancer and stereo wider

Helps to spice up your audio files
Excellent! Simple but effective : Pick 1 of 3 levels of enhancement, adjust a few other sliders and checkboxes until it's tweaked just like you want, and rock on! (or dance on, or rave on, or twang on, or rap on, you get the picture).

  DFX
DFX Enhancer plugin

for Winamp2
works very well at enhancing the sound quality of the mp3 files, but the only problem is that you have to buy it to use for more than 14 days, if you can get around that, this is a great thing to have!

Enhance
(Iosif Adrian)
Extra bass and treble

Staff's Comment: Hmmm I wonder...
Weeeeee-HAaaaaaaaa ! I have tested a buttload of dsp's and this one has the best sound of the 30 or so that i tested, "GET IT NOW" you will thank yourself later!

 
Enhancer 017
(Adrian Iosif)

Really enhances your sound
Great sound, great presets, and you can even skin the thing (Enhancer has a skin that's a close match for Nucleo_Nlog which is a good match for me).
There is a little snap, crackle, pop on some presets, but overall this is a gr

iZotope Vinyl
Vinyl record simulator.

a free DSP plug-in that uses advanced filtering, modeling and resampling to create authentic "vinyl" simulation, as if the audio was a record being played on a record player.
iZotope Vinyl makes MP3s sound "old and bad". If you want great analog sound without all the noise, dust and scratches, then get Ozone for Winamp > http://www.izotope.com/

Ozone™
Great DSP for enhancing audio

>> screenshot

Analog modeled EQ, tube compressors and amplifiers, room simulators and more :
Ozone adds warmth, bass, sparkle and an overall desirable sound to your MP3s.
There's simply nothing that enhances the sound of WinAmp as well as this does, but . . . , there are a few caveats:
1. You MUST have a reasonably fast computer. A P III 500 Mhz seems to work good.
2. If you have a decent sound system, this plug-in really enhances your sound. Of course, the better the system, the better Ozone sounds.
3. There are a lot of settings you can tweak, but you don't have to, if you don't want to. Simply scroll down the presets to "warm sounding equipment", and let Ozone do its stuff.

  RockSteady 2.1
Volume balancing
RockSteady Enhancer plugin
RockSteady is the best sound level adjuster that I have found.
Others that I have tried adjust the sound level too late so that quick changes in the volume of songs result in huge mistakes by the plugins or they produce annoying hiss or high pitched whine. I do not have this problem with RockSteady.

TomSteady
(tom st denis)
Volume balancing

The best volume balancing plug-in I've tried!
I've checked out RockSteady and "Wide & Dyamix", both contenders for the crown, but TomSteady has them beat. It seems to use a different concept than the other two. In any event, howver it does, it works *really* well. I have a wide variety of mp3's, many different volume levels, many different types of music. TomSteady manages to make them all sound about right, and using it, I never have to manually adjust the volume of Winamp

  Alarm v1_0 R2

A WinAmp Alarm.
Set it for any time you want, and it will execute your WinAmp at that time.
"This is the best alarm-function working w/ Winamp that i've found to date. I have a sleeping disorder, where it is very hard for me to wake up, and this program has helped!" (Allen De Witt)

Chronotron II
(Ianier Munoz) Time stretching/scaling

Slows down the music without changing pitch : Great language-study tool!
One important part of studying a language is to hear it spolen. However, it's hard to "hang on" when e.g. mr Chirac speaks. With Chronotron I can play him back in "slow motion", then hearing what he says.

 
  Slow Me Down
( Rolf Nilsson ) Time stretching/scaling

Slows down the music without changing pitch.
Does exactly what it says it does. And my reason for using it is I play guitar, and there are certain parts in songs that are just too fast for me to tab out by ear, this thing helps a lot.
But it's way too limited !! you can only modify the pitch by 100 cents !!! And there is no option to match the tempo and speed

Crossfades
winamp's output
Essential DJ tool

This crossfading plug-in lets you crossfade between tracks in the playlist in realtime.
I drop 7000 songs in my Winamp playlist, hit shuffle, turn this thing on, put my wireless speakers in my back yard, fire up the grill, the bong, and just chill out for a few days of hands-free mixing.

 
DeFX v0 97
(Franco Catrin) Sound effects module

Excellent karaoke plugin !
Remove vocals while retaining the background music and vocals.

Its quality is similar to equipment costing $1000's. Don't even bother with other vocal removal plug-ins, they can't compare to DeFx. If you're serious about karaoke, this is a must have!

 
Digital Music Network
Informative music community plug-in

Play a song and get related news, concert info, biographies, top 20 charts, discographies, unreleased tracks, new release info
This thing is super. When you play a song the software grabs all the information about the artist/song/genre/and other fans of that song and presents all the info in a window. Buts thats not the coolest part. After a while of listening music I was given recomendations of other songs and artists i might like.. Cool thing was, the thing was dead on accurate.

  FLIC Player
(Sergey Shamshin)
Play FLIC files in Winamp

Plays animation FLICs (.FLI, .FLC, .FLX) throught Winamp.
Does what it says. posted on January 30, 2002 @ 12:03 AM
Indeed it does exactly what it says. Seems stable enough. Quite cool, because flic files are a neat format that shouldn't go the way of the dinosaur.

 
Musepack
add support for MPC/MP+

enable play MPC/MP+ files in Winamp
Musepack is the next generation of high quality psychoacoustic audio compression. In layman's terms, Musepack is like MP3, but better.

  File Writer
Write mp3, ogg, wav and pcm into the HD
File Writer Output plugin

Works like the standard Disk Writer plugin + allows you to give files a date and time stamp in their file name (or any other data you would like there) or simply expand the title itself, following the same rules as my LineIn plugin (see my site http:// home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/), optionally you can also let it use just the title as it is given to the plugin.
Supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis, wav and pcm as output formats, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis need some dlls, see my site or mail me for more information, if you want to use either one.

 
  DolbyMP Blade Encoder
(Blade Kristahl design)
Encoding Stereo to Dolby Surround ProLogic

Encodes your 2 channel output into Pro Logic!
After buying a fully featured 5.1 home cinema setup (Floorstanders, center, rears, expensive AV Amp, etc), i was rather dissapointed when my expensive SB Audigy Platinum would only play music down 2 channels (LR) with the digital output...
So i searched around and found this! Its not perfect, but its a whole lot better than only having 2 channels, every song ive played so far has sounded great (noticed a few strange artifacts, but only on one song, and it wasnt a great encode, mp3)

Output Stacker
record streaming audio into the HD

It's really not that hard: put out_ds.dll first before out_disk.dll, like the INSTRUCTIONS say. Cut the bullshit about shoutcast not working, if winamp can play it, stacker can record it.

Analog VU 140
(Ice dragon)
Analog VU Visualisation plugin

Truly superb plug in.
Combined with nucleo_nlog_v102 plug in makes a very nice and beautiful old styled stereo. it was thoroughly tested in two different PIII (a 750mhz and a 933mhz) and it does not crash winamp (users who use it should probably look somewhere else for the cause of the crashes).
* Now calculates true RMS (hooptie!)

  G-Force 1.1.6
(Andy O'Meara)
F-Force 1.1.6 Visualisation plugin

WAY Better than geiss.
Has great beat detection, and sometimes, it does the most amaZing things that give you chills down your spine. You can watch this for hours.
Nothing can even start to compare with it except tripex3. This is so great! it has never-ending combinations of visualizations and the graphics are so great!! I would have given ten trillion stars if i could have!

Also try G-Force 2 (2155 KB)

  Geiss 4.23
Geiss 4.23 Visualisation plugin

This visualization actually detects and quickly responds to the complicated beets of Jungle, and when i'm listening to an entire set and one song is being mixed into another it actually detects and responds to both beats simultaneously... It has done the impossible and looks good doing it, I removed all other visualizations, this is all I will ever need, cus who cares if it might not be as gorgeous, but it actually truely does go with the music and still looks good

This plugin is very impressive. I especially like the "SnakeCube" scene. If you don't have anything better to do I urge you to download it. You won't be disappointed.
