I've been recommending this program to several people and was surprised how few know about it. It is the DFX Audio Enhancer.



LINK

Just download the version for your preferred music player (Winamp, Realplayer, etc), and it starts up automatically when you play anything. The free version limits the slider movement to 5 (halfway), but it still makes a huge difference in sound quality on PC speakers.

I recommend using the default "Music 2" option with the 'dynamic boost' and 'fidelity' settings turned up to 5. This makes most types of trance sound awesome!

Feel free to experiment and find your own settings.


DFX 8

Ummm... Sorry I prefer to listen to my music in the pure unmodified form that the producer intended bar a few small adjustments on the EQ settings.

That's not going to make the sound any better, it's only going to colour the mix, which is going to give you a false image of how the sound actually is.

You can't magically enchance the sound you get out of your computer with gimmicks like this, it's all dependent on the system you're using and the source material you have.

Well, you just said everything I probably meant but in an understandable form.

This program is like the electric superchargers for cars that turned out to be a computer fan to be spinning in the intake. +600hp!!!

Well, if you like everything getting drowned in reverb then you're going to love this. I didn't know "fidelity" and "ambience" could be controlled with sliders before now

ah, I knew the hardcore audiophiles would hate this...but I think most casual trance fans will appreciate it. The bass enhancement is terrific...and the surround sound option is very nice for slower ambient music. It may not be exactly what the producer intended, but the effect is generally favorable.

Try listening to a few of your favorite tunes, and press the "power" button off and on a few times.

I just can't go back listening without the enhancement...but to each his own.

Why did you have to delete and repost that?

because I'm a perfectionist

If you were you wouldn't be needing a program like this.

I knew that would be your response, lol.

This is my last post in this thread. I hope you "normal" music fans enjoy the program!

Worth a try.

my 320kbps music will upscale to 640kbps?
