My experience with audio enhancer plugins shows them falling into one of a
few categories:
#1. totally inaccessible.
#2. Only accessible to the point where you can load whatever presets come
with the plugin and the presets are crap.
#3. Works fine with a screen reader, but very limited in what it can do.
#4. Not freeware and the demo version does not begin to reveal what the
plugin might be able to do if you paid for it.
One final thought is this. audio enhancers are a nice idea, but more
often than not they tend to add either distortion or other undesired noise
to MP3 files. The truly quality enhancer plugins that can render their
effects without adding a bunch of garbage to the sound are not free and,
in most cases, aren't accessible anyway. My advice to someone who wants
audio enhancement is to spend some time tweaking the winamp equalizer and,
if their sound card supports eax effects, use those instead of a Winamp
plugin. They will be much happier.
One other suggestion would be to use a multipband compressor such as
Octimax or Stereo Tool -- both of which are excellent. You can get Stereo
tool at

I personally use Octimax 5.1 for my broadcasts. I do not know where to
download Octimax 5.1 from, but I could upload the installer to Sendspace
or something if people wanted to try it out.

Hi can anyone tell me how this enhancer plug in works and if it is any
good? And what are some settings if any that you would recommend when
using it? I have tried using google and can't seem to find anything on
it. So that is why I come to the list. So thanks for the help in advance
and I will look forward to reading anything that may come over the list on
this.
