The DirectX plug-in allows GoldWave to host
DirectX Effect Plug-ins. After installing this
plug-in, use the Options | Plug-ins | Effect | DirectX
command in GoldWave to select plug-ins to use (if any are installed). Google for
available plug-ins.
Note that due to inconsistent implementations and a lack of a formal standard, some DirectX plug-ins
may cause stability problems or prevent GoldWave from running. If that happens,
delete the plug-in module (DirectX.pig) or use
GoldWave Setup from the Windows Start menu to select
the option to disable effect plug-ins.
To use a DirectX effect in GoldWave:
- Use Options | Plug-ins | Effect | DirectX to select the effect and an icon.
- Restart GoldWave.
- Choose the effect from the Effect | Plug-in | DirectX menu.
- Choose OK to start processing.
Steps 1 and 2 only need to be done once to add the effect to the DirectX menu.
To add a button for a DirectX effect to the tool bar, use the
Options | Tool Bar
command.
Revisions
- 2009/05/07 Initial separate release.
- 2009/09/21 Fixed missing presets and truncated names.
- 2009/10/02 Minor update.
- 2010/05/12 Fixed freeze when effect processing cancelled. Fixed initial glitch in audio when effect processed after previewing.
- 2015/05/26 64 bit version.
- Some effects do not support storing settings in presets.
- Some effects cause deadlock during previewing. To avoid that
in GoldWave, press the F11 key, choose the
Device tab, then check the
Alternative playback initialization checkbox.
- Some effects do not use the proper parent window and do not appear
as the top window in GoldWave. Rearrange the position of windows so that at least
one corner of the effect window is always visible so it can be clicked on to bring
it forward.
- Some effects cause access violations and stop processing or previewing abruptly.
- If floating point errors occur, use GoldWave Setup from the Window Start menu to select
the option to ignore floating point errors.
