Peace Equalizer shows power of AutoIt

[PeterVerbeek]

@OSMMDAIJI Thanks!

[Skeletor]

This is fantastic @PeterVerbeek.
A great program indeed. The GUI is really inviting. 
Well done. Going to download and test it....

[PeterVerbeek]

Thanks for your praise, @Skeletor.

Hi, Peter. We talked over email a couple years ago when I found this software on Sourceforge. This software truly is a shining example of what Autoit can do. It looks like the latest version has many new features since I started using it. Thank you for all your hard work on it.

I just wanted to say that even though I no longer need Peace or APO Equalizer, I happily used it without even realizing that it was coded in AutoIt. This is truly a shining example of what can be done with this language!

[PeterVerbeek]

@abberration Thanks. I recognise your username. I can't recall what we've talked about but it must have been important Sorry for the late response.

@jaberwacky Yes, I just like the power and ease of AutoIt.

@PeterVerbeek Congratulations for the great work, is it possible to echo the microphones too?

[PeterVerbeek]

@Belini The Peace effects panel has an echo effect which makes it possible to have an echo on an input device like a mic. I've tested it today as I wasn't sure if Equalizer APO has the capability. Fortunately it has.

[Belini]

Fantastic, I have been trying to echo microphones for a long time but I never got this, congratulations on the work.

[PeterVerbeek]

@Belini {input echo on}Thanks .. thanks .. thanks{input echo off}

Glad you've finally found an echo solution

[Belini]

The problem now is to find within your code the functions that do this, can you point to me where these functions are?

[PeterVerbeek]

@Belini I guess you needed this for your own AutoIt app. I wasn't aware of that 😳. Peace uses Equalizer APO (Audio Processing Object) which reroutes the audio stream through its own audio processor. Peace produces the proper Equalizer APO command and writes them to a file for Equalizer APO to read and process. So for an echo Peace produces for instance the following commands from the Echo dials on the Effect panel:

Yes I need it for my own application but I don't know which parts of the Peace Equalizer code I need to copy to put in my Autoit script

[PeterVerbeek]

Do you want to make your own interface for Equalizer APO? As Peace doesn't process audio, there isn't a function to add echo onto an audio source. But I do have a solution. The Bass.dll library has many audio changing functions. Perhaps an echo function is one of them. I'm using this library to create my own music player (with C#, WPF, .net, etc.).

[Belini]

I just want to echo a karaoke program I developed and I'm going to take a look at the functions of BASS.dll as you suggested.

[PeterVerbeek]

Take a look at the BASS_ChannelSetFX function which takes a structure called BASS_DX8_ECHO for echoing or another effect structure for effects like flanger and gargle.

As I'm still learning Bass.dll I can't help you much further until I actually have implemented it in my music player,

[Belini]

@peterVerbeek you already helped a lot with your tips, thanks.

[PeterVerbeek]

@Belini No problem.

[PeterVerbeek]

For those who care, I've released a new Peace version 1.5.4.3 including a new YouTube tutorial on automating your configurations.

[PeterVerbeek]

The new release 1.5.5.5 is available which includes a new interface for testing one's ears and headphones.
