What does Direct-X mean and what are Direct-X plugins?
The DirectX technology, designed by Microsoft for the Windows family of operating systems, allows you to create and run multimedia applications (called Plug-Ins) on any Windows-based PC, no matter what the hardware. Dartpro CD-Recorder includes five Direct-X plugins:
- DeClick: This plugin removes those infamous pops and clicks that are often heard when playing a record.
- Dehiss: This plugin reduces the high frequency "hiss" that accompanies many audio recordings.
- Trim Length: CD's are capable of holding up to 74 minutes worth of audio data. This means that when you write your music to a CD, you need to stay within that 74 minute limit. Obviously, you will not always be able to stay exactly with in 74 minutes, and that is where the Trim Length plugin comes in to play. The Trim Length Plugin alows the user to fit all of the songs into the 74 minute limit without affecting the audible output of your music.
- Resample: Resample function performs the sample rate conversion between both standard and nonstandard sampling rates.You can use this utility to alter the sampling rate of the digital recording. Since all CD players "read" audio signals with a 44.1 kHz speed you have to convert all audio files to this standard rate prior to putting it on a CD.
- CD Format: This plugin converts your sound file from its origional format to 44.1 khz (44100 hertz) 16 bit stereo sound, which is the format that CDs use.
You may also find other Direct-X plugins included in the Direct-X bin that other developers may have created.
