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

To many problems

Oct. 31st, 2001

When I finally find what I'm looking for it has serious problems. The sound quality is bad when I use the pitchcontrol and winamp crashes easily. It's a pity because I really want a pitchcontrol that is working.

great but has serious probs.

Oct. 25th, 2001

I have used Pacemaker before and it is great. BUT It is flawed. PROBLEMS #1 doesn't work for Windows NT. which I have. #2 crashes when hitting stop.#3 uses up way too much RAM therefore crashing it.Fix this and I'll love it.

One Major Bug

Oct. 19th, 2001

It works perfectly!... except for this one annoying bug that causes Winamp and the plug-in to crash when pressing Stop (and sometimes Next/Prev). Fix this, and it'll be the best plug-in of it's kind.

Don't need bass control!

Oct. 15th, 2001

If you're using it to DJ, just plug it into your mixer, and use its controls for the EQ and stuff. Don't make the computer do everything.
- Marco Heide

Great Plugin

Oct. 15th, 2001

I love playing with it. Two suggestions: - fix bugs (like others said) - make it so it could be minimized/hidden without minimizing winamp

saving

Oct. 15th, 2001

is there anyway that you could save the pitch of the song after you change it to your computer so it doesnt sound slow anymore? cause i want the pitch to stay with the song so when i put it on a CD, it will stay fast.

This is great! I to slow down music so i can learn it on my guitar and drums, and this is the first progam I've used that actually does it well! I'll be using this for a while!

Pace Maker

Sep. 19th, 2001

It's great but it distorts the music a bit just having it on without using the controls. It "clings" the bass too much when I use the pitch control. It never crashed my computer anyway.

COOL STUFF!

Sep. 8th, 2001

ITS SO COOL! you can actually "tease" singers with it by making them sing faster! Im laughing my brains out when im listening to serious singers sing like squirrels!:)

sweet as

Sep. 6th, 2001

wow!this is damn quality,pity how it occasionally makes winamp freeze, but the sacrifice is worth it.
- oliver searle

yup, just like Donald ;)

Sep. 3rd, 2001

For all of us hard-core Sting fans out there, I tried this on "After the Rain has Fallen" and he *did* sound like Donald Duck! EEEEEK!!!! (Just a wee bit scary.) Besides that, upping the pitch gave the music an interesting techno sound; I'm gonna try it with a voice removal thingie and see if I can't get some good dance music. ;-) Also, that was the only song it worked good for. Think U can do something about the crackling? Worth mentioning as well that it doesn't work on CD's.

Amazing

Aug. 1st, 2001

I think it's a great tool. It's been the Featured Plugin for what, 5 years now? I'm not surprised. I've found that every song sounds correct if it's knocked up a click on Pacemaker. I don't understand why that is, and I don't care. Pacemaker is absolutely the best plugin I've ever found. I do not use Winamp without it. I'm kinda wondering how the person who made it managed to get speed without pitch change, because I've never seen that done in any other plugin/programs.

Fun, but buggy

Jul. 29th, 2001

I would give this at least 4 stars, but it is just too buggy (at least for Win2k). It will randomly freeze Winamp, and I have reproduced this on two different systems. Features-wise, it does resampling quite well, sounds pretty damn decent for less-than-professional software, all in near-real-time, with only a half-second or so delay on a PIII-733 with 192MB PC-100 RAM. If they would fix the bug I have run into, it'd be very nice.
