Audio enhancement for the most popular media players


Overview:

GogoL! - Audio enhancement plugin for the most popular media players like Winamp, Sonique.

GogoL! is designed to enhance the listening experience for users of Internet audio formats such as MP3, and Microsoft's Windows Media streaming format.

GogoL! enhances Internet oriented audio listening experiences by correcting for the sonic limitations of all the popular data compressed Internet audio formats. Data compressed audio suffers from two major problems: loss of high frequency fidelity and loss of stereo separation and depth.

GogoL! compensates for the loss of high frequency fidelity by carefully regenerating the missing high frequency harmonics in the audio. GogoL! then compensates for the reduced stereo imaging and depth by carefully generating ambience and stereo depth.

An additional factor limiting the quality of Internet audio playback is the use of speakers that are narrowly spaced and located close to the listener's ears. These location constraints reduce the perceived stereo field and reduces the natural room ambience which is important to good sounding audio.

In addition to compensating for reduced stereo depth in the audio source, plugin added ambience and imaging works particularly well in correcting for these limitations of closely spaced and located speakers.

GogoL! performs all audio processing with 32 bit floating point precision, yielding truly professional audio quality. Since Internet audio playback systems currently only support 16 bit audio playback, as a final processing step GogoL! carefully re-dithers the audio signal to the final 16 bit resolution.


GogoL! controls:

Fidelity: Controls the amount of high frequency harmonics that are regenerated and placed in the audio. Using this control to add Fidelity to the audio eliminates the "muffled" sound that is an artifact of the data compression algorithms used in Internet audio formats.

Ambience: Controls the amount of listening room ambience added to the audio, compensating for closely located speakers, poor listening environments and sonic losses due to the data compression methods used with Internet audio formats.

Stereo: Controls the amount of enhanced stereo depth which is added to the audio, compensating for monitoring limitations and sonic losses due to data compression.

Bass: Controls the amount of additional low frequency compensation for multimedia speaker systems to add deep, rich bass sound. Greatly improves the bass performance of any sound system.


GogoL! buttons:

On/Off: Either turns On or Off GogoL! processing. If Off, all plugin processing is bypassed.

Presets: Allows managment of your factory and user presets. Select the preset best suited for your program material or save your current settings as a new preset.

Options: Allows you to select options such as skin selection (also available through the right mouse click).
