Amp

Amp-2.0.25-installer.exe
The download link will not work with Edge browser automatically.There will be a warning triangle on the download.It can be done but you will need to do it by trial and error.
(As an alternative to Edge install Firefox).

Windows will complain about security issues.Just bypass them and run the installer.
The select the link called More Info.Then press 'Download Anyway'. Amp is a 64 bit only Windows application.(Only tested on Windows 11).Also you need to have a processor with AVX.Not all processors have this feature.


It is principally a multiband audio processor aimed at radio broadcasting.
There is built in support for stereo multiplex encoding and a basic RDS encoder for FM broadcasters.MP3 streaming is supported through an interface to an Icecast server.

It is always a good idea to install the latest release.
If the new release has problems re-install the previous release.If all else fails use the rescue application.

Getting started

Microsoft support package
This needs to be installed before Amp can run.Other applcations may have already installed it.


Amp resue application
Small application to remove the registry entries for Amp.Use it to return evberything to defaults.Only use it as a last resort if Amp keeps crashing etc.Just run the download.Windows will complan about decurity issues.Just bypass them.

Support for non ASIO sound devices can be gained by installing ASIO4All.
Search online for ASIO4All download.
The interface is difficult but persevere it does work.(Not all buffer sizes may work.Trial and error is the only way to deal with that).

If you cannot get Amp working contact me with a brief explanation of what seems not to be working.
If you come across a bug contact me with a brief explanaion of what is happening.
Crashes occur in a number of ways.The obvious ones are the the GUI stops responding or the sound stops.If Amp suddenly for no reason disappears then this is also a crash.
Contact for bugs,crashes and help
Note I have no presets.


The old programs Sonos and Hellfire are no longer available.Amp is a better replacement.
