CarAmp is out!!!
CarAmp — Control your music from inside AC + car speaker simulation
I'm kinda proud of this one: This app lets you control Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube, foobar2000, or whatever player you use, directly from your Wheel / Buttonbox. Play/pause, skip, volume, now playing with progress bar, spectrum visualizer.
The DSP mode is where it gets interesting: it simulates car speakers in real-time. Speed-dependent low-pass filter, bass boost, reverb, head-tracking panning that follows your camera, even an engine cut filter that notches out frequencies based on RPM. When you get out of the car, spatial audio kicks in, so volume and panning change based on distance and angle to the car.
Technically it works by routing your audio through VB-Audio Virtual Cable (free). Your player outputs to the virtual cable, CarAmp's helper process picks it up and applies the DSP chain, then sends it to your real speakers. You install VAC once, set your player output to "CABLE Input", and that's it. No extra program to start, no desktop shortcut, no background app to manage. The helper runs and stops automatically with AC.
CarPlay App and functional YouTube App included.

My wife had an idea for a car wash for our game. I think if we combine the Paintshop app with the pedestrian mode of 2Real, we could get a cool car painting or washing simulator. Preferably with VR support.
