Module enhancer

Post by SKAN »

Do you know of any application that lets you play around with modules? I mean: bring the samples up to 16bit with linear interpolation (at least), set a perfect stereo panning with the 4 channels - adjusting each channel (virtual channels?), set some reverb/delay to samples/tracks/channels, save the whole thing to AIFF/WAV and have a cool Audio CD burnt with MakeCD? Am I dreaming? :)

HI Skan!
Try XMplay:

http://www.un4seen.com/

This is a great music player. Great sound with good interpolation and volume ramping (no clicks!), and good effects (Automatic gain control, 5 band equalizer, reverb, plugin support).
Great wav writing (Writes 8/16/24/32-bit WAVs, supports external encoders (MP3/OGG/etc...), optional automatic level normalization, dithering & noise shaping)

Here input plugins site:
http://support.xmplay.com/Plugins_input.html

YOU MUST TRY THIS: http://support.xmplay.com/Plugins_Files/in_sk00l.exe

This plugin (for winamp too) let you decode a number of old Amiga music formats (.mod .bp .bp3 .sfx .fc.fC1 .fc4 .fc13 .fc14.hip .mon .cust .cus.dm2 .sid1)

Deliplayer is another great piece of software! A MUST-TO-HAVE for Amiga fans!

And Winamp with oldskool plugin and some other dsp plugin is a good choice, but try XMPlay for the first: really good sound out of it!

MakeCD? so you're using an Amiga. Then you are in luck :-)

Try the Delitracker 14bit genie. It will only work with mod formats which have a corresponding noteplayer supporting replayer. But for most formats this is not a problem. It has tons of DSP modes / 3d / panning etc and a modsave option.

[note it actually support 16 bit output to wav and amiga soundcards. The name is due to the history of the genie as it can do psuedo 14 bit out on paula].

I normally record tunes using its "infinate oversampling mode".

@manny77

Thanx, but as BuZz has guessed, I'm on Amiga by night! (and Mac on my daytime job! ;)




@BuZz

I love you. Really. :lol: :lol:

@BuZz (again):

Since I want to burn audio cd's, 16bit quality is better ;)
Is there any way to upsample to 16bit aiff and wav files on Miggy?
And is there any tool that lets you work on the single samples within a module and decide the reverb, panning position and things like that and then render to hdd (it doesn't matter how long it takes, I want to work on my Miggy!!!!)

As this player is only fed the audio data on a channel basis it doesn't have any control over individual instruments. The only way to enhance a module like that would be to rework it on an editor. Digibooster Pro certainly has enough functionality for this but it could be a big job.

The 14 bit noteplayers save format is 16 bit. You will only be able to adjust panning and effects for all the channels though.
