what the use of that plugin again? It doesn't seem to feed Winamp's audio back to the VsT host!

Alpha Release 0.2

This program sends the transport information (play,pause,stop,FF,RW etc) from a VST host such as Audio Mulch to Winamp. You could use it to score a movie using Audiomulch.

so no audio transport at all.

Ok, and what is the use of that? How can you use that to score movies? ( sorry, i do not know much about movie scoring )

well, you could play a movie with winamp, arrange music for it in your host, export the audio you created to a .wav and then use a program like virtual dub to mux the video- and audio-streams.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

How would it be done otherwise? using a host that supports video playback like Nuendo?

As far as I know, MOST software keeps the two streams (audio and video) completely separate up until the point of export. So while Nuendo may do the job that something like virtual dub does, it's still ultimately doing the same thing.

It's just a bit more transparent to the end user.

Now, I'm pretty uninformed so I could be wrong, but even when you look at something like a DVD, the audio and video is stored separately. It strikes me as being in the best interest of any sort of production software to keep them completely separate until the user says, "Yup, that works... mush'em up!"

Yes, I like seperation. You can apply effects like this to the sound file without altering the video ( even though technically, both can be in the same file and be seperate )

Hmmm - just saw this. Nice.
Unfortunately, I cannot play Winamp in parallel with EnergyXT at all. For some reason I can't play Winamp at the same time with anything using ASIO drivers - ho hum.

I use ASIO4ALL v2 and very shitty on-board sound, so it may be my system which is buggering me up here (quite likely actually).

But I did check it out in Muzys3 using MME drivers and it did work in theory - so bravo.
