>> Audio Effects

GOM Media Player has an assortment of audio effects as well. These effects can also be accessed / controlled from various parts of the GOM Media Player user interface, as well as from a number of keyboard shortcuts.


Preferences - Audio Tab:

You can control the output device, equalizer, and normalizer from the Audio tab of the Preferences window. Push [F5] to open the Preferences window, click “Audio” on the left, then click on the “Audio” tab.

- Output Device
From here you can select your hardware audio output device. In general it's recommended to use the (System Default Settings) setting.
 
- Equalizer
The Equalizer allows you to adjust the output of specific frequency levels.

Check the box next to “Enable” to turn on the equalizer. You can manually adjust the sliders, or you can select a preset. Click the pop-menu that says “(Default)” to select a preset.

You can manage custom presets by clicking the [Preset] button.

The [0dB] button will reset all the sliders back to their default position.
 
- Normalizer
The normalizer will adjust the volume to a pre-determined standard level. In effect, it raises the volume of abnormally soft audio tracks and lowers the volume of unusually loud audio tracks so that everything has the same standard peak volume levels.

- Voice Filter
Disable: Disables the Voice Filter effect completely

Cut: will attempt to remove the vocal portion of an audio track by cutting the frequency levels that human voices usually occupy.

Boost: will attempt to increase the volume of the vocal portion of an audio track by boosting the frequency levels that human voices usually occupy.
 
- Reverb Effect
Reverb refers to the way sound travels throughout a space. For instance, the sound from a piano will travel differently when played in a small room than when played in a large theater. This function allows you to apply additional reverb to an audio track. (Moving the slider to the right increases the level of this effect.)
 
- 3D Stereo Effect
This effect makes stereo audio tracks sound wider and more three-dimensional. (Moving the slider to the right increases the level of this effect.)
