CUE FILES

[pistollero]

I Peter i bought the final version and i´m very satisfied with sound but i have one question...
how can i play from cue files?....i tried to search here in the forum but i didn´t found nothing....
in this case i have a flac and a cue file... how do i play the cue as i play from foobar or others?....

other thing i using engine 3 because my soundcard don´t do ks, and a feel the sound hyper detailed, i think i ear the highs more than mids ans lows...( i think i feel some lack of mids lows...)
do you feel the same in your setup??? how does it feel for for engine 4 in compare to 3????

tks

Hi !

About the latter : KS is completely different and ... made because of the complaints you have about Engine#3 (WASAPI). It should be "good", but it isn't. Nobody is using it anymore ! (well, that I know of).
You can take the emphasis of Engine#3 away a little by dialing Q1 higher. 14 is usually okay, and nothing much "special" in the mean time. A value of 4 seems to be the minimum for "rather normal", and going more down will make things more or less explicitly digital.
You can set Q2 and Q3 towards 30 (just keep them equal) to add some "warmth", but it is all putting the horse behind the wagon.

About Cue Files : All is made explicitly for that, and I can't guess what problems you ever can have with it. One thing :
Dragging a Cue File (maybe FLAC only) onto the Playlist Area does NOT work. But that is all I can think of;
If you have other problems with it, please give me an example, so we can work that out, okay ?

Thanks,
Peter


PS: What soundcard do you have ?
Also : it may be a good idea to put your data in your signature; this avoids questions like this, and furthermore tomorrow I won't know the answer anymore.

i Peter tks for the help, i have a onboard realtek high definition sound card that i link to my dac via a optical cable. What i have read is this soundcard as icompability with ks....
what soundcard do you recommend for my asus laptop so i can play engine 4 ???


in relation to cue files... yes tried to drag and does n´t work... how can i play cue files???
tks

Yes, I think the only "councard" I have heard of, not being compatible with KS is the latest High Definition Audio stuff determined by MS. Isn't that smart ?

If you are using that onboard device at this moment, I'd buy a Juli@. 120-130 euro or so, including VAT.

Cue Files : there are several means. But for now, just use the Embedded Explorer. Click on the Library Button (that's at the top), click on the folders in the left pane, and you will see the albums showing up in the middle pane. Select one (or more) and click Load (the down arrowed button).

Hi peter,
the cue thing is resolved......i did as you said.

about my config i have news... i connect the de dac by usb to my laptop and i was able to use KS engine 4, I tried several setups... but i have to lower a lot SFS.
the sounds to have more mids and lows... but don´t have the same definition that i have on engine 3 wasapi....

and i can´t get rid of the ticks and bleeps on engine 4
