What is Dee?
Dee is a Digital Sound Processing plug-in for Winamp. It
improves the sound
by adding deeper bass, treble and richer 3d effect
without distortion.
What's new in version 1.20?
Optimized DSP engine: faster, less distortions,
Presets,
New high frequencies recovery system, improves quality of low bitrate streams (24 - 56kbps) as well as high bitrate, but encoded by low quality encoders (16kHz+ reconstruction) and MP3 Pro,
Automatic Gain Control,
Some changes in interface.
How to use this plug-in?
After you have installed Dee in Winamp plug-ins folder, please start Winamp player,
open "Preferences" window (press Ctrl-P or Right Mouse Click, Options, Preferences),
go to "DSP/Effect" tab and select Dee. The new window with 9 sliders will be opened.
We recommend to disable Winamp built-in equalizer.
Here's a short description of the sliders:
Bass Amp, Mid Amp, Treb Amp - bass, mid tones and treble amplification,
give better quality than Winamp built-in equalizer.
Bass Dyn - Use to adjust bass processing module dynamic curve.
More dynamic - more low frequency will be reconstructed.
Bass Frq - cutoff frequency of bass processing module. Use lower values
if you have large speakers, and higher values for small speakers.
Treb Dyn - Use to adjust treble processing module dynamic curve.
More dynamic - more high frequencies you will hear and the sound
will become more phat. Please note that in some low quality records
you'll hear more hiss when treble dynamic is set to heavy/extreme.
Treb Frq - cutoff frequency of treble processing module.
3D amp - 3d effect (surround, side channel) amplification. Use higher
values to add mode 3d, especially when you have speakers close together.
Please note that low bitrate mp3's could be distorted by setting 3d amp to high.
Reverb - Use this to simulate different environments. It also improves
low quality mp3s when using 3d amp. Hall and City reverbs may require bass amp
to be lowered.
There are also some helpful buttons:
AGC: Automatic Gain Control - prevents from too loud sound = distortions,
HI-FREQ: High frequencies recovery system,
BYPASS: Disable sound processing,
?: open about window and launch this help.
x: hide Dee window. The sound processing will be still active. To
open Dee window, open preferences (Ctrl-P), DSP tab and press "Configure" window.
L: Load preset
S: Save preset. The presets are stored in *.dee files, you can e-mail them to friends etc...
There is also "mini" mode. Press the triangle at the bottom of Dee window.
