Loopstream
Additional Notes
- Changes to the «Soundcard» tab does not take effect during a stream
- Make your changes, Save/Apply, press Disconnect, then Connect again
- Changes to the «Tags» tab automatically apply immediately
- Uncheck the "Read tags automatically" checkbox in order
to make several changes without affecting the stream
- Windows will add noise to your music if it's too loud
- Although barely noticeable, every audio signal that
reaches 100% amplitude is slightly
corrupted by windows (or hardlimited,
depending on your soundcard drivers).
-
This is what happens to "Reptile" by
Skrillex when played at full volume,
optionally you can grab the
amplified ver.
- For the best quality, keep your media player
volume just below maximum.
- Foobar users:
Add an equalizer to your playback
DSP Manager, «Configure Selected» and turn all of the
knobs down by exactly one step. This gives just enough
attenuation without colouring your music.
- Other media players: idklol
- Please don't use the Loopstream resampler
- Actually, the Loopstream resampler is great.
The problem is that it's only necessary
because you're already using the Windows
resampler. The Windows resampler is not
so great.
- Using any resampler at all means your music
turns muddy, as you're losing your highest
trebles and the rest is turning murky.
- Also, please don't use Windows «Sound Enhancements»
- Using equalizers or compressors on your
speakers means that everyone else will
be hearing that same crud.
- Right-click your speaker icon in the tray and
select playback devices, then right-click
the speakers you selected in Loopstream's
«input Music» and select Properties. Open
the «Enhancements» tab and check the
«Disable all enhancements» box.
