Audio effects and filters are useful in VLC Media Player if you use it as your standalone music player or as a movie player. The equalizer, compressor and other advanced effects are put in place to help your audio give that crunchy sound that’s music to your ears. VLC is much more than just a media player though. With VLC you can create custom playlists of your own audio and video tracks You can use VLC to subscribe to and stream podcast. You can even use.

VLC Media Player now boasts Chromecast support and 360-degree video views. It’s just another tiny notch on the popularity of the open source player which can handle anything that you throw at it (as long as it’s a media file!).

The Windows version of the player is closing in on 50 million downloads, and that’s discounting all the other platforms it can be installed on. Perhaps the secret to its longevity is the modular design which gives it a rich set of features. Today, let’s focus on the few “secret” features under the hood which you can use every day.

1. Use VLC as a Video Downloader for YouTube

There are several capable free downloaders available for YouTube. But, VLC has this feature built in. Though it’s not a one-click downloader and you will have to take the help of your browser.

  1. Click on Media > Open Network stream.
  2. Paste the YouTube URL and click the Play button in the player.
  3. VLC Media Player starts streaming the video. Now, click Tools > Codec Information and at the bottom of the window you will see a Location box.
  4. Copy the long URL in the box and paste this into your browser’s address bar. The browser will now start playing the video file. You can download the video file to your desktop by doing a Save video as with a right-click on the video. Or you can choose to record the video.

2. Convert Videos to Any Format

Downloading a video is often the first part. Converting that video so you can play it on a device of your choice is the second part. The VLC Player can do this too.

  1. From the toolbar, click on Media > Convert / Save.
  2. In the Open Media dialog box, click on the Add button and choose the media file for conversion. Then, click on the Convert / Save dropdown > Convert.
  3. Open the dropdown menu for Profile and select the file format that you would like to convert your file to. You can also click on the gear icon next to it and edit the chosen profile.
  4. Click on Browse and select a location to save the converted file. Then, click on Start to begin the conversion and monitor its progress in the bar below.

3. VLC as a Graphic Equalizer for Your Music

You may be using VLC as a video player only, but VLC is a cross-platform standalone media player too and that brings full audio effects with playlist support. VLC not only displays cover art but also has a pretty good graphic equalizer tucked away inside it.

Display it with the shortcut keystrokes Ctrl + E (or go to Tools > Effects and Filters > Audio Effects). Adjust the sound quality with the available presets, or fine-tune it with the Equalizer, Compressor, and Spatializer tabs.

In Page Layout view, at first the ruler looked normal, then after some editing, it appeared to be all gray and with vertical markings that reminded me of table columns. Initially when quitting and restarting Word, nothing changed. After Word sat for 2 days without being opened, the problem seems to be gone. Word for mac ruler gray and white sections.

4. Activate Audio Normalization to Protect Your Ears

The general audio settings for the VideoLan Player are located under Preferences. One of the key features called Audio Normalization helps to optimize the volume of any media by a fixed amount and improve the sound quality.

Go to Tools > Preferences > Audio > Enable Normalize volume to. The value you set here will help to adjust the decibel levels of dialog, music, explosions, gunshots etc. in the movies you watch. Restart VLC after enabling the setting.

In fact, configure this immediately after you download and install the VLC player. It will make your audio sound better Want Your Audio to Sound Even Better?

5. Play Internet Radio and Podcasts in VLC

One of VLC’s little used features could definitely be its ability to find and play internet radio stations. The VLC Player can fill all your audio needs as it can not only stream radio but also play podcasts.

  1. Launch VLC and open the Playlist sidebar.
  2. Under Internet, you can browse through the two radio servers—Jamendo and Icecast—and choose a station of your choice by clicking on it. Also, make sure the Playlist view mode is set to List (Go to View > Playlist View Mode > List).
  3. If your favorite internet radio station is not on the list, use the station’s URL to stream it via VLC. Go to Media > Open Network Stream… Enter the URL and press Play in order to begin listening.

And to play podcasts in VLC:

  1. You can manage your favorite podcasts via the same Playlist interface.
  2. Go to Playlist and under the Internet section, select Podcasts.
  3. As soon your cursor is over the Podcasts section, click the plus sign.
  4. Copy and paste the RSS feed URL of the podcast you wish to listen and click on OK. The podcast will be added to the sidebar and you can pick the episode you want to listen to.

6. Loop a Section of a Video or Audio File

Most media players can loop an entire video or a soundtrack. With VLC, you have the added bonus of looping any specific section of a media file.

  1. Open the video or audio file with VLC. Go to View > Advanced Controls.
  2. Now, a few more buttons will be displayed above the normal play and stop controls.
  3. To start the loop from a specific part of the video, move the playhead to the part where you want the loop to start (Point A).
  4. Click the loop button once. The “A” mark on the button will turn red. To finish the loop, take the video to the endpoint and click on the same button again. You will see both the A and B points of the button are red.
  5. Now play the video and the section will loop. Click the loop button once again if you want to switch it off.

This is a handy feature when you want to review a how-to video or hear an audio file over and over to get it right. I often use this feature to study Photoshop tutorial videos.

7. Add Features With VLC Add-Ons and Extensions

For everyday use, VLC’s default package of features may be enough. But if you are looking for added functionality then there’s an entire catalog of add-ons you can install alongside. Remember, VLC has a huge open-source community behind it and they have helped create extensions, skins, playlist parsers, and other assorted tools.

These extensions will help you add more “secret” features to the player like tools which will help you search for subtitles from the player itself. Extensions may also work in macOS and Linux, so do double check the instructions on the add-on’s page.

  1. Visit the VLC add-ons page and browse through the two views—Top or Latest.
  2. Click the Download button on the add-ons page and download the ZIP file. Extract the file. (VLC add-ons have the LUA extension.)
  3. On Windows, place the .lua files in this Windows directory:
  4. Restart VLC. You can access all your installed extensions from the View menu.

Some of the better extensions to consider include:

Boom 3D is a popular volume booster and equalizer app for Mac that offers fine-grained control over volume and audio output settings either system-wide or on a per app basis.

9to5 readers can currently get 30% off Boom3D for Mac w/ code 9TO5BOOM to celebrate the 1 year anniversary. Or start with a 7-day free trial.

In addition to customization over your audio output system-wide, Boom3D includes a patent-pending 3D Surround Sound technology that creates an immersive virtual surround sound experience that works with any existing headphones. The app also optionally includes a built-in audio player so you can use it for your audio library and a companion iOS app to continue the experience on your iPhone. Here’s how it works.

Volume Booster, Equalizer, Effects, and Presets

If you’re trying to squeeze more out of your speakers or headphones, Boom3D gives Mac users control over much more than macOS does natively. You can manually adjust your audio on a per-app basis or system-wide, or just stick to the app’s presets to quickly get more punch, a deeper or richer sound, or just more bass.

For users that want to manually fine-tune their audio, the app allows you to craft your own EQ settings and apply them on a per app basis or system-wide. The ability to apply to just some apps can come in handy if, for example, you want a bass-heavy experience in music apps but not on the rest of your system.

But you can just as easily apply presets, audio effects and manual tuning system-wide to improve your sound for all audio output on your Mac.

Also included in Boom3D is an intuitive Intensity Slider that makes it easy for anyone with or without experience to fine-tune EQ presets and audio effects to their personal taste.

Starting with OS X 10.10.3 and later, Boom3D has a self-calibration feature that tunes audio specifically for your model of Mac, which allows it to offer an even better experience as opposed to applying the same settings for everyone.

3D Surround Sound

The app’s 3D Surround Sound technology is a setting you can enable separate from the EQ controls and other presets and effects.

The feature replicates a surround sound experience when listening with headphones and it truly is an impressive and fun way to hear your music. There are other apps that have tried to do virtual surround sound with software and some that require special headsets, but Boom3D has managed to impress with how well it works on a wide variety of audio sources and genres of music with just your existing headphones. Of course, it’s something you have to try and hear for yourself.

Built-in mini audio player & Boom Remote

In addition to using Boom3D for fine-tuning audio system-wide or on a per app basis, the app also includes a built-in mini audio player so you can also use it to store your library of music and audio files. And with a companion iOS music player app you can have a seamless experience with all of your music playing from Boom3D across your devices.

Boom for iOS & Boom Remote

For a cohesive listening experience across platforms, there is the Boom for iOS app. If you are using Boom3D on your Mac for your audio library, the iPhone and iPad app lets you pick up where you left off with access to all of your audio files and EQ, preset and effect settings.
An optional ‘Boom Remote’ app available for iPhone and iPad gives you even more functionality with the ability to control Boom 3D including your Mac’s default volume level, Boom 3D’s Equalizers and Effects right from your iPhone. You can also use the app to access playback controls of Spotify, VLC, QuickTime and iTunes.

Boom3D for Mac has a free trial for 7 days and 9to5 readers can currently get 30% offw/ code 9TO5BOOM to celebrate the app’s 1 year anniversary.
