Winamp Plug-in Details

Winamp Staff Review

Control pitch and tempo independently
This is a very functional and useful tempo/pitch DSP plugin. You can alter the tempo and pitch independent of one another...so, you can have the song's BPM be one thing, and you can have the song's pitch be something completely different. The 'speed' lever also gives some interesting results. There is a preferences menu where you can set slider precision as well as hotkey increments. The interface is very straightforward and useful, not very impressive visually...but, it gets the job done

Great for playing along with guitar!

Jul. 21st, 2008

I have been using this plugin for about a year and now i couldn't live without it. I play guitar and love playing along to the MP3s on my computer. This does however become quite frustrating when different tracks are in slightly different tunings - some are dropped one or two steps and some are just out of tune. Pacemaker saves me from having to constantly re-tune my guitar, and with its 'memorize above settings for each song' function i can play all these songs back to back with no fuss. It is also great for slowing a track down so that you can hear and then practice that really fast guitar solo!

Nice, but...

Hey.It's a nice tool, but I eventually uninstalled it, because it is "nagware".

Thought it would be better than 1.32

Jan. 1st, 2008

I was kinda sad to discover that this doesnt seem to be any better than v1.32 and with that version you didnt have to pay to get the slider settings. And now this version doesnt adopt the skin choosen. It has its own skin now. Plus it doesnt dock to Winamp.

Surprising audio quality from this plugi

Dec. 23rd, 2007

This is version 1.3.2. Download 2.1 from http://www.surina.net/pacemaker/ if you want the remove vocals functionality (which doesn't really work but did you really think it would?)I think the newer version requires registration to enable the hotkeys & customization of the sliders potential while 1.32 does not. Would be nice if Pacemaker's window could be pinned on top of WinAmp 5.5.Double clicking sliders should reset them so it's easy & fast to get them exactly back to 0.

Great!

Great Plugin! Only way it could get better is if it could adjust to your skin.

Awesome!

Oct. 21st, 2007

This plugin really is awesome, but one question:In your picture there is a "Remove Vocals" button but I don't have that when I download it.

Good sounding but crashes

Sep. 29th, 2007

This is a good sounding tempo and pitch changing program. It has some neat features such as remembering settings for particular tracks. Unfortunately it crashes when switching tracks and the tempo is set to high slowdown values. It sounds better with MP3 and wave than with MP4 files. It goes to maximum tempo for FLAC files, so it is useless for them.

Works, but can't close window

Aug. 15th, 2007

This plugin works, although the tempo control gets pretty choppy when you deviate too far from the middle. There is one obnoxious aspect of it. I prefer to run Winamp in the 'windowshade' mode and have it always-on-top, so that it fits snugly into the title bar of whatever browser or window I'm working in. Once this plugin is selected in the preferences, it is open until you select (none) as the DSP/Effect plug-in (there is no x in the corner to close it). Since Winamp is always on top, it is always on top as well. Essentially, this means that you cannot run it and not see it at the same time.

NOT infected

The user comment below regarding virus alert given by Avast anti-virus tool is a false alarm: The plug-in file was cross-checked by tens of other virus scanner tools at VirusTotal.com and was found to contain no viruses.The issue has been reported to Avast support.

Trouble in paradise

Oct. 7th, 2006

I like this program controller but I have been having trouble registering it. I paid the fee and never got sent anything back regarding this product. It\'s been about two weeks since I purchased this item and for that i\'m very upset. Other than that I can\'t even continue using this product.

Excellent

I have just been using this to listen to lectures at 1.5x speed and it sure beats $30 for enounce!

It's a crock.

Aug. 17th, 2006

This thing is lame. First off there are other plugins that do the job better. When you change the tempo, speed or anything, the audio quality goes down. All the other ones do that.. well... this one does it too.But that's not the main problem I have with this plugin.The main problem is that whenever it is installed and you select the "Add" button to add an mp3 to winamp at any time, THE WHOLE THING CRASHES. Yes. this thing crashes WInamp whenever a song is added, forcing you to shut off winamp and load it again everytime you want to listen to a song, and then load the plugin again. That's just lame and totally not worth the time it takes to download this.So, not only is it not any more effective than any other pitch/speed/tempo changing plugin, but none of them are buggy and crashes winamp like this one does.Not even worth the download. This thing is a crock of you-know-what. This gets 1 star becuase i'm in a forgiving mood.

I like it

The only problem I'm having wth pacemaker is that I'm unable to register it. The web site for doing this seems to not exist or something.
- Jimmy Ellis

I love this plug-in

Jun. 12th, 2006

This plug-in is so great, a guitarist dream. This plug-in is perfect if you want to learn difficult solos!

tool for popmusicians

Oct. 20th, 2005

Pitch even an octave lower/higher. Addy Biru recomments the most recent version. The most recent version pithes in steps only. This version pitches in 1/10th of steps. The most recent version has got a remove-vocals-button though that works very well.

Simple and useful

Very simple and very useful. No crashes. Recommended

This is the 2nd best plugin I've ever seen!

Aug. 7th, 2005

I've downloaded PaceMaker v2.1 and let me tell you that this is AWESOME!!! This thing does everything perfectly as the author says, and combined with an MP3 encoder as an Output plugin, you can give permanent saavy effects to your tunes. The voice filter is not working great, but actually nothing does yet! :)If you're a DJ or a simple wannabe, this tool is for you!

Best Plugin
