SRS-WOW effects for Linux?

(1/4) > >>

Hi guys,

Windows Media Player uses the SRS-wow effects to significantly boost the audio
quality for mp3's....This audio enhancement is made out especially when one has
a good speaker setup. I have tried out the audio enhancing stuff for XMMS (
there are about 3 plugins there) and none of them were good enough.

Is there something like SRS-wow for Linux?

thanks!

I don't know about that but if you are creating these MP3's yourself you might want to consider Ogg, it sounds better than MP3:

Thats very true.....But, my existing mp3 collection is 1000+. It would be really great if i could enhance them with SRS-WOW or equivalent.

thanks!

from what ive expierenced with srs-wow effecys all that is happening is a gain of +6db at 35 hz a gain of +4db at 100hz a gain of +5db at 9000 khz and a gian of -3db at 1000khz. this can be accomplised with an eq. if you add a wide stereo emulation with a bit of a distant reverb with a short wash you should be there.
personally what ive found best fixes* mp3's is too use a gain of-5db at 12,000khz and a gain of -2db at 1,200 khz. if you want a good thump you should use a gain of +5db at 100hz for boom look to the 50hz region.
what the reverb accomplishes is to mask the nasty high end of most poor mp3's, or bad guitar playing     ive found that the srs-wow effects dont do much but muttle things up on high end studio reference monitors. you would be best to do it yourself. if you have the patience


thanks to linux frank for catching that khz/mhz goof. i was looking for new processors when i posted  :D    :rolleyes:    :D
