I'm making a desktop. But i just want two bars. (left and right) and not a group.
The Eq Spectrum for Winamp the bars is independent.
Have one to use with ONE Progress Bar only (like the Eq Spectrum For WinAmp) but working for any players?

change-of-polarity In reply to ??? [2013-06-26 18:32:43 +0000 UTC]

When editing the config file, I can't seem to increase the number of bands to anything higher than 64 bands. Is this on purpose, or just a glitch -- I'd like to have a LOT more bands, if at all possible. I'm weird like that.

Ok completely ignore my last post. I just notice something, I have a headset I use for everything with my computer. When I have it plugged in the equalizer picks up sound from the Mic not the inside speaker of the headset. so when I talk EQ goes crazy but when I'm not talking and music is playing than its just a very calm EQ. when I unplug the headset everything goes through the speakers of the laptop and everything works as it should. Is there a way I can use my Headset and have the EQ pick up sound from the Headset NOT the Mic?

kARTechnology In reply to Sandman-007 [2013-06-22 03:32:43 +0000 UTC]

set "stereo mix as default recirding device" and set your mic as "default COMMUNICATION DEVICE"

Sandman-007 In reply to kARTechnology [2013-06-22 16:06:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I tried that but it didn't really work. I had to disable my laptop built-in mic completely and now the EQ acts wildly which tells me it is reading the Stereo Mix device. Ok actually I just re-enabled the Laptop Built-in mic and the EQ is still reading the Stereo Mix device and not the Mic. So that is good. Thanks for your help. Now I am going to try with my headset and see if the EQ reads the speaker in the headset and not the Headset mic.

Sandman-007 In reply to ??? [2013-06-21 14:57:26 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome thank you. I just have 2 questions. One why is this EQ still pumping even when there is no sound playing through sound card? it doesn't kick hard but still is active. Also is there a way to make the EQ more "Hyper"? It doesn't seem to kick hard enough unless there is a lot of bass. I listen to a lot of dubstep.

After much trial and tribulation, I finally got this EQ to work on my computer and it's fantastic! Thank you for the great work. I just have one question though, do you think more styles could be added to this EQ? I like this circular one based of Samurize, but I wouldn't know how to get it to work across everything and not just WinAmp. [link]

Tram-Ngoc In reply to ??? [2013-05-25 16:45:40 +0000 UTC]

Hello all,
how do you make the line at the bottom of the spectrum hide, when the music stop playing
in the early version for winamp, the whole equalizer spectrum will disappear when the music stop and will show again when music playing
but this new version, will leave the bottom beat across the base of the spectrum
please show me how to fix this
under windows 7, 64 bit
Thank you
