Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?

Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?Hi,
I have reinstalled Windows XP SP3 lately and installed just the Audigy_SupportPack_3_8 as driver for my Audigy2 ZS. I have a Sennheiser PC50 headset.
Now I can't get EAX to work.
The EAX setting in game is enabled and it sounds different than without it but I can only distinguish left from right but not top from bottom and front from rear.
Am I lacking any driver component?
How do I setup the audio device in Windows? Headphones or 4 speakers?
Do I need CMSS 3D? CMSS or CMSS2? Even if the game supports EAX?
What about optimize 3D-Effects for headsets? I use a headset, so I should enable it's
And also I can't find the suround mixer, is this not included in this support pack?
I mean this one:
Best Regards
sanni

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:

If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

Audigy 2 NX: EAX effects with MIDI playb

Is the Audigy 2 NX capabable of having the EAX audio effects work with MIDI playback? That is, when I "Enable Audio Effects" in the EAX console, I can hear the effects with wav and mp3 files but midi files sound no different. Is this a limitation of this product? I'm pretty sure I was able to do this with older sound blaster (pci) products. I've always connected my keyboards to sound blasters to make use of the sound font technology. If I could make use of the EAX effects, it would make everything sound much better.
If this is not possible, I'm curious as to why.
-Thanks

Hello
I have exactly the same error with my Audigy Player. I can remember, having used MIDI EAX effects with my old Soundblaster Li've!. However CD, Line and everything else works fine with EAX, why not MIDI? I think it's a bug and I am using the newest Advanced HD 4.0 drivers. If you turn your speakers VERY loud you can even HEAR a small amout of chorus and reverb. But the Sources are up to 0.0 db and 00 %. So there has to be much more of it!
I don't know of any solution, yet. It's really frustrating, because MIDI playback is one of the primary things I had in mind when buying this junk audio card.

How to apply eax effects with x-fi xtreme music on my mp3 collection?

Hi. I am new in pc audio but as I understand it, eax is hardware effect and can be applied only in real time to any audio source. I find amphitheatre effect fantastic so I would like to know if there is any way to record my mp3s with applied effect in order to listen them on my car audio player (it would be some kind of DSP option in a car). The easiest (and fastest) solution would be to use Adobe Auditon or some similar software but I want EAX. I tried to use "audio creation mode" and in "what you hear" mode, record in real time my mp3s with "enable eax" option checked but no effect was applied (I checked "monitor recording" mode). Any experiences? Thanks in advance.

Because of the EAX is in output, you'll need to use "What U Hear" as recording source to get the effect added into source. This means that you need to play the data using another software than which one you're using for recording. While I was using Audigy 2, this was quite eay to do but I don't know the X-Fi ... especially if you're using Vista. Another possible method is to record the output of your card ... loopback cable Front out --> Line-In, etc.
There are also other methods available but, you'll need then to use VST/DX plugins which gives you same/better results as what you would get from X-Fi DSP even it's maybe 24-bit chip (because of the 'resolution' of the final mp3 format you're thinking of (16-bit, 44.1kHz/48kHz, 320kbps). If your collection is already stored as mp3 format files then, it's quite hard work to add those effects ... you'll need some software that imports mp3 format then add the effect you like and then export to mp3 format.
Also, the car is quite different space from room+speakers and headphones so, I suggest you to prepare some examples 1st and play those in car enviroment to get the direction needed for settings to get best possible result.

Audigy 2 ZS and Headset, Mike doesnt w

I have a Logitech headset that works when I use my factory Realtek onboard audio on my Sony Vaio desktop computer. I have installed the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and I get sound out of the card, but I cannot get the microphone input to detect my microphone. When I switch back to the Realtek it works again, by plugging the mike into the realtek rear port. When I switch to the Audigy I plug the mike into the input port on the Audigy and select the Audigy card in the sound control panel, however, the system doesnt see the microphone.

Using the brilliant effect with a size oscillate.

Hi,
Trying to achieve a Star Trek effect with the Brilliant particle generator. It's the flash at the end of this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8d10vQHbZQU).
I'm trying to replicate it with the Brilliant particle and i get something strange. I added an oscillate to the scale parameter, and while it works I get some particles drifting along the y-axis? I'm not sure why it's doing this. I'm applying the oscillate to the whole group. Should I be adding it to just the particle?
Cheers and Thanks,
Jose

Have you taken a look at the Dazzle filter? You may be able to recreate that effect with just the Dazzle filter and some object opacity keying plus adjustments and key framing to Dazzles Amount and Brightness parameters.

Let's make this easy.
First download and install Driver Cleaner Pro; http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Driver-Cleaner-Professional.shtml
Then clean out all creative and creative lite drivers then delete any folder in your system that has the name creative on it (usually find these with a quick File or Folders search in the start menu. Then download and install Crap Cleaner; http://ccleaner.com/, go a head and clean out files and do scan of the registry with ccleaner and remove unneeded reg stuff. Now reboot. One more thing, if you still see the "Device Control" icon in the control panel you must remove it's corresponding .cpl file in the "\windows%base%\system32\" folder.

Can someone tell me the best way to do the "Indiana Jones" effect with Motion 5?

I'm making a movie with FCP-10 and want to use the "Indiana Jones" effect for my travel documentary. Can anyone suggest a way to do this or direct me to a site that can?

Not sure what "like magic" means. But I'll offer suggestions that may get you closer to that goal.
- First, to make it a dotted line, first draw a short line, one that will be a single dash in your dashed-line. Turn its visibility off (I left it turned on in the screen shot below, so you could see it). I'll name this layer "Single Dash".
- Next, you'll draw your Bezier line as in my article.
- In the bezier line's Outline properties, change Brust Type to Image, and drag the Single Dash layer into the image source well. This will create your dashed line.
- To animate it, first with the playhead at the start of the timeline, keyframe Last Point Offset to 0. Move the playhead to the end of the timeilne, and keyframe that to 100%.
- To make it "travel" as I think you're trying to do, move the playhead to the start of the timeilne. Then drag the First Point Offest slider slowly to the right until 3 dashes (or how ever many you want) show. Keyframe the First Point Offest to that. Move the playhead to the end of the timeline, and adjust that parameter to taste, keyframe.
- Adding a Drop Shadow could help give it some depth.
- Making the Group a 3D Group, and adding a camera, moving the camera along, maybe some special lighting, could make the whole thing really cinematic.
You'll probably want to experiment with these settings, too. And don't forget you can put a Fade In/Out behavior if needed. Let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.

EAX effects and Audition 2.0

Hi ! I have a littlebit of a different problem ... I am tryin to record the applied EAX effect directly into Audition ... since the Creativ ASIO drivers are broken for Audition 2 I am using the recommended ASIO4ALL wrapper..it work well for normal input .. with the creative driver I cant even record without any kind of effect, but with the wrapper it works fine ... now there is a problem ... What u hear only works with the CreativeMediasource recording .. I do get the effects applied there but since the point is to record in Auditon with metronome and the acompaniing recordings of the other band instruments mediasource is clearly not usefull...
Now If i record in audition with the desired effect applied *example a simple Destoriton wiht a rewerb .. I do hear it and it records BUT WITH A DOPPLER EFFECTS that goes up all the way till it saturates the eintiere sound thats beein recoreded .. Is there a way to tell the What u hear recording preset only to listen to the input with the applied effect and ignore all other outputs ?? Or juts to tell the audgy mixer to record the input with the applied effet?
Now it seems to me that mediasource is probably written in a way to deviate such an effect (or to ignore the output while recording the input with the effect applied )but the problem is that the same thing also hapens in Soundforge ..
I know that what u hear was intenden so we can capture the output with the effects but it clearly isnt working the way it should ... is there a way to make a recording on the Audigy 4 with an eax effect applied ot a linein input (el. guitar) into a 3nd party pro program ala Soundforge and Audition 2.0
My system is comps config is >
Athlon XP 2600+
Nforc2 mobo with nforce audio
512MB Ram
Audigy 4 PRO
WIn XP SP2
Audition 2.0
Soundforge 6
I tried numerouse outputs and inputs with the flawd Creative asio driver *it only works for output in mulitchanell mixing* and with the recomended ASIO4ALL driver but I can only make it work without any effects applied to the recording .. and since the audigys effects are sooooooo good and easuly tweakable a vould really like to use those instead of some expensive external effects... I vould also like to avoud using the nforce as a loopsource to record form coz it degrades the recording quality considerably and ading another audigy vould be a driver nightmare according to my research
thnx for the help

I think w/ Cockos Reaper you should be able to record from output too (versions to 0.9x are freeware). There are some other software capable for this, like energyXT.
Also, forget those EAX effects and check out what all goodies you can find even as freeware from KVR; like
- Kjaerhus Classic serie
- Karma FX effects
- Voxengo effects
- Fretted Synth guitar combos
- etc.
Also, w/ Creative ASIO (which should work well w/ Audition 2) you should be able to 'render' through EAX when exporting the final mix (see this thread for more on CT ASIO I/Os).

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least a dozen times. I have tried redownloading iTunes at least 5 times and from different links. This leads me to believe that the dnssd.dll file is not itself corrupt, but this newest version is causing a conflict with XP somewhere somehow.
Team, iTunes 10.2.2.12 has just been released. I installed it and checked, and BonJour's been updated to version 2.0.5.0, and there's a new 2.0.5.0 version of dnssd.dll on my system. So I reckon it's worth a try updating to that to see if it's of any help with your trouble.

After upgrading to Vista, I thought little about the omission of DirectSound until I started playing World of Warcraft again last night. EAX effects are gone!
So after spending a few hours reading up on solutions, I stumbled across Creative ALchemy, which promised a solution. I've installed it and converted the .dll's correctly, but nothing has changed! The advanced reverb effects that previously made World of Warcraft so enjoyable are still gone, and the sound is still thoroughly "flat".
I'm no sound expert and it's certainly possible that basic DirectSound effects were added through OpenAL, but I do know that the advanced EAX effects are gone.
Anyone have a solution? Is this a planned feature in a future release, or does it sound like the problem may be with World of Warcraft, or something with my own driver installation? Thanks in advance,
~Sangye Ince-Johannsen

Alright, here's what my log said:

So, I switched to Game Mode, and now my game sound has completely stopped working. The new log, however, is clean:

Thanks for the response. Any idea what the problem may be in light of these logs?
Thanks again,

Workflow Circuit between FCP and After Effects with HDV

I am trying to set up a workflow circuit with FCP 5.1.1 and AE 7.0 using HDV. We are:
1. building sequences with FCP
2. exporting to AE
3. adding in FX with AE
4. putting those back into FCP
The footage we are using is compressed with HDV 1080i60 in FCP.
My problem is finding the correct way to export the HDV with FCP. I have tried using Quicktime Conversion but the only option I can find for uncompressed video didn't work when we tried to transfer it.
I think the main problem is that the AE work is being done on PCs and the video that we have tried sending can't be read by PCs. The audio plays through fine but the video shown is nonexistent.
What conversion should we use in FCP that allows us to keep the video uncompressed and in its best quality for use in AE? And what works best on the AE end of it?
Can someone give some advice on steps that they would or have taken for a project of the same ilk.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

What's your system setup? What FX exactly (e.g. color correction, or just random FX thrown in every now and then)? What went wrong when you tried using an uncompressed codec?
1) If everything's on an external FAT32 formatted drive (fat chance, get it?), then i think you could export a quicktime reference of your timeline (choose the option that ends up giving u a tiny file). Then plug the drive into your PC, load the Quicktime Ref (also known as QT Ref) into AE7 and FX away. Then export a QT with HDV 1080i60 specs and reimport into FCP.
2) If you're only doing occsional FX (e.g. gun flashes, lasers from robots, etc..), and nothing that encompasses the entire length of the project (e.g. color correction), you could export a hashed down QT Conversion of the timeline with whatever decent codec that works (e.g. DV NTSC). Then import into AE7, lay down the video, add your effects. But then before you export your FX, turn OFF your original video layer so all your FX are on a transparent background. Export clips with alpha channel and reimport those into FCP.
3) Ensure that the PC is using the latest version of quicktime. It may need to be upgraded to whatever version is on the Mac, and it may need to be registered as Pro.

Replace one preset effect with another

Is it possible to replace one preset effect with another withouth having to undo a prior preset effect?
When I used Aperture, holding down the Option key would allow me to replace one preset with another.

Problems with new Audigy driv

<p class="MsoNormal">I have just installed a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Model SB0090 to replace my old SB Li've. When upgrading from older Audigy drivers to the latest drivers available on the Creative support website, I find that they cause serious problems with my 4. digital speaker system (Boston BA7500G). With either of the newest drivers installed, when I adjust the volume using either the Creative Surround Mixer or the Creative Remote Control, it causes the rear speakers to stop working. Closer investigation revealed that moving the volume slider in Creative Surround Mixer had a strange effect in Windows Audio Control Panel. Upon opening the Speaker Volume tab in Windows Audio Control Panel, it revealed 8 speaker channels (suggesting that it detected the Audigy card as a 7. when in fact it only supports? 5.). When I moved the volume slider on the Creative Surround Mixer (in either direction) it had the effect of moving all but three of the speaker volume sliders in the Windows Audio Control Panel (Right Channel, Left Channel and Channel 8) to zero, with the result that the rear speakers stopped working. Inm other words, Windows was insisting that the speaker setup was 2. and not 4. as in the Surround Mixer selection. ?It made no difference if either or both of the checkboxes ?Synchronize with Windows Control panel? in Creative Audio Console or ?Move all sliders at the same time? in Windows Control Panel were checked or not. This problem is present in both SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe and SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe. It does not appear to be present with the older driver SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe, so for now I have rolled back to that. In fact, with SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe Windows Audio Control Panel only shows 2 channels in the Speaker Volume tab; Left Channel and Right Channel, but all speakers in my 4. system work and the controls in Creative Surround Mixer and Remote Control all work fine. I would like to be able to take advantage of the fixes available in the two newer drivers but they cause me serious problems. Can anybody help? Finally, the presence of a beta driver on the website suggests that a newer version is coming soon. I wonder?if this issue be addressed with the new driver.

I have some problem as you with new drivers SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe and SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe. Only in my case I use SB Audigy and headphone 5.. Always when I check 5. in Audio Console it reset to 2.. I can set 2. or headphone only.Message Edited by AlkaliX on 09-3-2008 09:53 AM

Audigy 2 ZS and inspire T7700 no 7.1 with mov

Hello. Maybe you can help me:
I was trying to watch Episode one (with Dolby sourround EX) with power DVD 6 an Windvd 6 plat but i'm having problems with my 8 channel output because when i start the THX optimizer, the sound that is supoused to be heard on my side speakers, comes from the rear speakers and the sound from channels 6 & 7 (Rear center) its also coming from those speakers. This Failure also happens with the Windvd Channel test: side speakers doesn't work and in power DVD 6, CLMEI II technology does not work with side speakers. The only way to get sound from my side speakers is with CMMS.
The tests for the THX console for audigy 2 complete succesfully altough it keeps me saying that my side speaker and sub aren't wired correctly (polarization test). The channel and noise testing goes ok besides that.
This problem is exclusi've to DVD watching beacause with EAX HD 3.0 or 4.0 games, i'm not having any problem.
is Dolby digital EX in episode really works with 7. configurations (region 4)?
How do i need to configure this players to work with the installed decoders?
Are my speaker set defecti've?
Can i buy some kind of monster cable to imrpove my sound?
It's that all right that the sound from 5. tracks (DD or DTS) is played from the front and rear speaker and not in the side ones?
Note:
The supoused wiring problems repeats itself even if i change the connector of the the side speakers with the rear ones (that are soppoused to work fine). That means (i think) this problem isn't caused by the speakers wiring (i think i made it ok) could it be that the 7. cable is deffecti've?
What to do? Please Help me
Creative Staff: where i can go to check this on Mexico city? is there any sopport center where i can go and get some help?
My config:
Audigy 2 ZS and Creative inspire 7. T7700

My guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?
