Multiple Instances of MPC-HC with External Filters

[CarPC]

I would like to run multiple instances of MPC-HC, sending the audio output of each to its own instance of a graphic equalizer, and then mixing the outputs of all the equalizers into a single global equalizer, followed by a convolver, and finally converted to analog audio output.

The reason is as follows. Each media file may need custom equalization (depending on whether it's live or studio, for example). Overall equalization of the mixed audio stream is for the listener's taste. And the convolver corrects for the room.

How do I do that?

Can I use GraphStudioNext as a virtual patch panel?

Yes, but iit might be a challenge to not get the different filter states mixed up. I've done something similar with 2 audiostreams, but it got complicated quite fast. Also filters that combine 2 audiostreams are rare. What has MPC-HC to do with it?

VoiceMeeter is said to mix 8 virtual inputs with 3-band EQ on each. I have not tried it yet, myself.

Yes, this is very much like what I want to do. Eight channels would be more than enough, but the 3-band equalizers might not be sufficient. As well, I don't know what's required to put up a VST container application that can host all these plug-ins. Would I have to run a whole digital audio workstation, or is there a lighter-weight container that I could use?

Splendid! Can you describe how it's done?

What MPC-HC has to do with it is that I want to use it as my player. I've looked at foobar2000, and it is a very nice audio player, but it only allows a single instance if itself to run at any one time. For that and several other reasons, MPC-HC is a much more versatile player.

What I want to do is create what boils down to a mixer with a variable number of stereo inputs. Every time I start a new instance of MPC-HC, a new channel-pair is added to the mixer, and every time I stop an instance of MPC-HC, the associated channel-pair is deleted.

So please describe what you did, because it sounds like it could easily be expanded to fit my application.

I used Zoomplayer at the time because it can play graphs. But I never really solved the mixing of 2 audio channels well. I used it to monitor and store video from my DV-camera, while muxing an extra audio channel in from a bluetooth headset. Later I created a left and right channel from the 2 audio channels though avisynth. I had to make an internet video anyway.
