If you use Play ( Play from ) you can just use the Apple audio plugins which are really good. Originally Posted by gbacic /img/forum/go_quote.gif Which equalizer did you end up using with this setup?

Like I said, I'll be sure to post instructions (with pictures and diagrams and sorts of goodies) once I get some time. Is now: 'music file' ->iTunes-> Play (with the EQplugin) -> headphone out. So what used to be: 'music file' ->iTunes ->headphone out What I've done is used JACK Audio to connect the output of iTunes into Play and then Play to my headphone out. However, I have all sorts of settings, playlists and the like set up in iTunes and I didn't feel like migrating. Now, I could have just used play as my primary software, had my plug-in and been done with it. So now I needed software that would support these plug-ins. There are a few parametric EQ's available as plug-ins. This whole thing started because I wanted a parametric equalizer so that I could fine tune my EQ settings. There are all sorts of plug-ins that range from equalization, to delay, to distortion, to compression.Īt any rate, iTunes does not support plug-ins (a fact that I found most annoying seeing as it is lovely in terms of organization.) These plug-ins are added to audio software (anything from playback software such as Play or foobar to recording/editing such as Reason, or Cubase etc.) to manipulate audio. AU plug-ins are designed for use with Core Audio applications (in laymen's terms, Core Audio is the system that Macs use to play/manipulate audio) Play is an audio file manager/player (like iTunes, WinAmp etc) that can be downloaded here: Play from Originally Posted by gilency /img/forum/go_quote.gif I'd prefer free, but if necessary would be willing to spend a little money. is there a stand-alone parametric equalizer? is there a parametric equalizer for iTunes that I just missed? is there a media player for MacOS that supports VST or AU plug-ins? I looked into Cog and Songbird, but from what I can tell neither supports plug-ins, am I wrong about that? I know that using Audio Hijack is an option, I was hoping that there was a simpler/cheaper (read: free) option. KVR: slim slow slider Linear Phase Graphic EQ - Virtual Effect KVR: Darrell Tam DtBlkFx - Virtual Effect I've found a couple plug-in equalizers (both support VST and one supports AU) Standalone or plug-in, I'm not too picky about what player I use (so long as it offers bit-perfect playback and supports ALAC files- though if I had to I could convert the files.) I'm flexible as far as what arrangement I use. I'm running OS 10.5.7 on an iMac (Intel). After searching head-fi, KVR, and google I have yet to find something suitable. After reading the article about custom equalizer settings to suit individual headphones I set out to try to find a parametric equalizer to work with.
