Winamp Plug-in Details

AWE32/64 native plugin (ver 1.10final)
AWEamp is a WinAMP output plugin allowing to play Winamp's output through AWE32/AWE64 wavetable MIDI interface. You may ask why to use such break-neck way to play wave audio, when wave-out plugin works good. Here are listed some of the benefits which AWEamp brings:- Audio data are played through AWE midi interface so wave-out output is still available for other sounds (system sounds, games - I've tried Need for Speed 3 for instance and works good except starting of song when WinAMP took 100% of CPU time. Btw. tested on Pentium III 450 MHz & AWE32).- AWEamp controls AWE builtin DSP processor (emu8000) so you can use variety of audio effects similar to those of SB Live!- High quality Chorus and Reverb effects with lots of presets.- Presets compatible with AWEFXWorkshop.- Hardware bass and treble equalization.- Stereo channel positioning (left-center-right).- Hardware lowpass filter.- Tremolo, Vibrato and filter sweep.- Control panel can be invoked quickly by using tray menu.

AWEamp
For those of you with the Soundblaster AWE32/64 sound card, you can now use this plugin to take full advantage of your card and Winamp. Allows for you to run Winamp while playing a game, sound efx, etc.

Better than sex?
Well, not quite.. ;) Still, this is probably the best thing I've seen since the invention of sliced bread. I installed it and noted that it needed memory on the AWE-card. Since I never bothered to install any, I kind of forgot about it for a while. Then I rememberd the plugin today and found a couple ram-chips, installed them and voila! It works!!The sound is very good and I do like the features it provides, such as invert phase on one channel, channel panning, access to the AWE EQ functions. If you have an AWE-card, you NEED this! Just pray it works for you.. :)
