I'm looking into a simple method for folks who don't have such features with their sound cards. I'll post it soon. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/using-the-dps-plug-in-to-master-a-recording#post-1900 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:30:49 +0000 jimboden 1900@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Hi Joey:</p> <p>This is very interesting. Are you going to post how the Windows version will work? I have the current top end Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card with the 5.25" front panel. I actually have experimented with this by running everything through DPS and using the Creative Smart Recorder utility. It seems to work fine. Sadly, though, I've never been able to solve the Windows 7 audio drop out problem which I've determined has nothing to do with DPS. I have a more than 2 year old netbook running Windows XP and audio performs flawlessly on it. I can download files from the Internet or cause other heavy system loads on XP and I never get an audio drop out. I was using it to listen to music through iTunes but, since I got my iPhone 4S a few months ago, I've been using it instead. DPS for iOS is truly awesome! </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/using-the-dps-plug-in-to-master-a-recording#post-1899 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:44:51 +0000 Joey Butera 1899@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>I explained how to do this in another thread but I figure it should be it's own topic (Mac instructions):</p> <p>1) Download and install Sound Flower: <a href="http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/" rel="nofollow">http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/</a><br /> 2) Download and install Audacity 1.3 (the beta works fine): <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_mac" rel="nofollow">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_mac</a><br /> Install the LAME mp3 encoder as well so you may save your files as mp3.<br /> 3) Set Sound Flower to be your default output device in Sound Preferences.<br /> 4) Launch Audacity and set the input device to be Sound Flower and the Output device to be the Built-In speakers.<br /> 5) Click the microphone icon in Audacity to begin monitoring. Audio is now routed from all applications --&gt; to Sound Flower --&gt; to Audacity --&gt; then to your speakers.<br /> 6) Launch iTunes. Play some music to be sure your routing is working. You should see the red meters in Audacity moving.<br /> 6) Use the DPS iTunes plugin to choose a profile you want to apply to your audio. Be sure it sounds good on the devices you will be using. There are a few City profiles available that are great for spoken word on all devices.<br /> 7) Click <strong>record</strong> in Audacity then <strong>play</strong> the track you want to process in iTunes. The output of iTunes (including the DPS process) will be recorded into Audacity.<br /> 8) Normalize the volume of your recording in Audacity if necessary. DPS adds dynamic range to the audio signal so the resulting file may be a little quieter than the original.<br /> 9) Save your newly processed file and add it to your iTunes library.</p> <p>Done!</p> <p>This process must happen in real time so there really aren't any batch processing options here. However, this can be great for mastering a recording, an interview or a podcast you produced or anything else.</p> <p>This can be done with the Windows version as well with certain sound cards.</p> <p>Let me know if I should make a video tutorial of this. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/how-dps-helps-skype#post-1180 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 18:02:11 +0000 Joseph Beaty 1180@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.dpsinsider.com/2011/09/06/dps-voip/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dpsinsider.com/2011/09/06/dps-voip/</a> </p> <p>We made this little video showing how DPS technology can enhance your VOIP or in this case...Skype experience...check it out here if you have not already on the blog </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/what-are-polar-patterns#post-1136 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:03:05 +0000 Joseph Beaty 1136@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Many of you just go straight to the forums for updates on things.

It's looking great so far and I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think customized profiles that user can change themselves would be great, as well as profiles that emphasize a specific brand or model of laptop (HP, Dell, Alienware, etc) I think, would be a lot more user friendly than the "Cites" profiles out now. I have a Compaq (owned by HP) Presario CQ62, and it's annoying sometimes whenever I upgrade to the new update, that I have to almost always mix and match the profiles to get the sound I need. Even after I find that one profile works great for some songs (movies, programs etc) but for others it stinks. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/beats-audio#post-711 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:41:26 +0000 Joseph Beaty 711@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>The DPS Plug-In is not currently available for iPod.
