Hi,

Can someone point me at a good reference for writing DirectX audio
plugins that could be used with Cakewalk? Source for an example plugin
would be my preferred starting point. Is there anyone else out there
writing their own plugins that they would share with the group?

Sonic Foundry has it in their website. You need also the DirectShow SDK
(Direct X Media Stream Services), available from Microsoft.

Hello All!

TC Works makes some amazing plug-ins for DirectX.

Native EQ: With 28 band stereo Graphic EQ and 10 band Parametric EQ.
Native Reverb: Easily the best Reverb Plug-In available for DirectX.

Check out demos of our Reverb and EQ at http://www.tcworks.de

OK John, you used a strange post (i.e., request for help) to promote
your plugs, but since I d/l'd the DSP-FX demo I figured I would give
yours a shot also.
WOW
Absolutely gorgeous, the interface is incredible. Love the way they
behave too. Top shelf stuff, the audio equivalent of Lionel's martini.
Are you also working on a compressor for those of us who aren't trying

to get famous?

I think that was Johns first post here, maybe he was unfamiliar with
posting a new message.

I haven't played with them a lot, but like the simplicity of the
Reverb. BTW- I'm pretty sure these can be purchased through Cakewalk.

Thank you,

I reviewed both the TCWorks Parametric and Graphic EQs in a recent EQ
Shootout article for ProRec. Check it out at http://www.prorec.com .

I gave them the highest rating of all the DirectX EQs reviewed in that
article. The "SoftSat" feature sounds great!

It's biggest drawback is -- no floating point processing, so you need to
screw around with input levels, and it's only +/- 12 dB.

Forgive me... I finally got off my @$$ & read some back issues at
prorec. I printed your article on EQ and 3 hole punched it to a binder
(along with "why my mixes suck"). I had worked on at least 5 of the 10
very attentively (ok...maybe 4) but now will do them "retentively".
BTW... have you tried Bombay Sapphire?
