WaveSurround Plugin for Winamp is a digital signal processor designed to make your music-listening a more immersive experience. The plugin gives you a new way to listen to stereo recordings. Standard stereo makes the sound come from between the two speakers in front of you. Listening to music through the WaveSurround Plugin makes the music surround you, literally placing you inside the music. In a typical listening environment, Winamp plays stereo MP3 files through two loudspeakers placed on either side of the computer monitor. You hear stereo sound, but because the speakers are so close together, the perceived "soundstage&quot\; is quite limited -- it sounds as though all the sound is coming from between the two speakers. The WaveSurround plugin uses signal processing technology to synthesize "virtual&quot\; loudspeakers that you can position anywhere around you. By positioning the virtual speakers to the sides, you become immersed in the sound mix. The WaveSurround plugin works best when the listener is positioned between two speakers placed on either side of the computer monitor. The plugin is not intended for headphone listening, and has no effect on monophonic recordings. For best results, you should disable any 3D modes your speakers or sound card may support.
