PC audio filter software

[LVSteve]

Some time ago I tried a piece software that filtered the incoming audio data stream to my PC. Through a series of circumstances, that software got deleted and now I cannot recall what the program was called. The software had this great user interface where you could change the frequency cutoffs of the filters you were applying on the fly.

By chance, would anybody here know what the software was called. TIA

I run some studio type stuff. there are a lot of toys to be had on the recording / production side. and many translate well to end user sound reproduction.

various flavors of EQ are natural additions ... many are offered as free vst plug ins. all you need is a player that'll take vst

a counter intuitive, but rewarding tool is compression
as a signal becomes louder, it turns down the volume at a user defined rate. the end result is then turned back up.
after this treatment, you can drive a signal harder, without clipping.
you will have to hunt for this one.
Its called 5ocery by platinum ears.
Its compression in 5 bands with adjustable crossover points.
Enhancement options abound.

This one might work. Download Equalizer APO 64 Bit (Audio Processing Object) 1.3

The software I lost had a fantastic GUI. I could drag filter 3 dB points in real time, apply pre- and de-emphasis in real time, even change the filter type at the press of a button.

LVS, I'm curious as to what your purpose is in filtering the INCOMING stream, rather than outgoing. I run a Mac nearly all the time but also have a Winows laptop and am always interested in audio processing software.

Edit: Isee that the link you provided is for system-wide EQ, which suggests it actually affects output. But probably the same result as regards llistening. It would work on any audio source, whether an internal audio file or YouTube or whatever.

Equalizer APO 64 Bit (Audio Processing Object) 1.3 has been installed, troubleshot and is now working. It's not as good as the one I lost, but it will do.

I wonder if you could Google audio filtering software UI and check the images to see if anything looks familiar?

Or might there be some "orphaned" support files still on the machine that weren't removed when the program was deleted that might give a clue to the program? I'm not that familiar with Windows but on the Mac there are usually support files in the "Library" folder

I like that idea. My Google Fu wasn't cutting it yesterday.

You lost me at "audio data stream." The only streams I know have trout in them.

You probably need a Babelfish to decode the lingo

Take a look in the Registry under "current_user\software" and look for your old app entries.

Another good idea, but it appears the restore that lost that software nuked the old Registry values.

Probably due to my age, but you said stream and I thought of my Urologist.
