3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -Don't we forget about the "incorrect" looking sinc/Lanczos FFT interpolation for lower frequencies part in the default FFT mode? This is the most obvious discrepancy between my own CodePen project " Frequency bands spectrum analyzer using either FFT or CQT" and your fb2k visualization componentAh, I forgot to attach the 50Hz tone file and BTW, this should look like this within the default configuration (aside the color scheme resembling fb2k built-in "Spectrum" visualization and 20Hz-20kHz range):Please provide more details about what you think is wrong.There are multiple Gaussian-like curves (asides the sidelobes from window function) that is not present in my own spectrum analyzer project on CodePen, even on the same window function and FFT settings (4096 samples Hann-windowed FFT) on a 50Hz test tone (though not tested on my own fb2k with foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer as it is obvious on the screenshots by someone else even if the audio source is not a test tone)
Maybe you can do rigorous testing to make sure that the results between these two are the same so long as the settings between your component (a C++ port of my own project, algorithm-wise) and my own project (not just this, but also another one) are the same as eachother (if applicable)?
BTW, should we switch the FFT library to perhaps a modified version of PFFFT that supports double-precision floats and can utilize AVX2 if the PC's CPU support these instruction sets?

Support - (fb2k) / Re: Foobar2000 v2.* playback sound quality lower than v1.X
Last post by mudlord -1) Imagine someone saying there is a problem with sound quality with your app vs older versions.
2) You are the only person saying so.
3) You haven't done any tests to confirm your claims, but its entirely your say so.
4) Dev tries to find such differences in sound quality
5) It ends up being a wild goose chase since there is no scientific proof to the claims in the first place, so it cannot be proven or reproduced on their end.
Doing such work without possible reproducible data results in a complete waste of time that could be spent elsewhere. I had this personally happen numerous times, no doubt the FB2K dev has too and many other devs. Like the time I experienced some problems with HLS streaming some radio stations only to find the HLS server software itself is completely b0rked and not a issue on the player end, which involved a ton of work to debug and mitigate.

Listening Tests / Re: Personal blind sound quality comparison of xHE-AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and TSAC
Last post by guruboolez -I really appreciate that we have a rational and well-organized evaluation of TSAC. Sound quality seems really far from transparency with music but the bitrate is truly amazing. I felt stupid when I posted here a listening test at only 12 kbps and I didn't expect that someone will get deeper in the abyss. Good job!

Listening Tests / Re: Personal blind sound quality comparison of xHE-AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and TSAC
Last post by Julien -Thanks a lot Kamedo for yet another very interesting listening test.
Nice to see Vorbis being tested and yielding quite impressive results in the ~128kps range. Is there any particular reason why you chose Vorbis in this test?

Because it hasn't been tested for some years.
This is a great idea. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

Last post by Sergey77 -@Sergey77 - new version released with the bookmarking fix. Also contains some other small changes, including behavior change for automatic DSP insertion that ApacheReal complained about.Case, I tested it. In the new version, these components work fine for these items. Thank you!
Are you planning to add "Add Skip Track bookmark" to the right-click context menu? - other component commands are already there, it would be convenient.

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by Replica9000 -Do you see any speed improvement using GCC 14 over GCC 13?
I haven't compared builds with 13 and 14 directly. I can run some tests later if you have anything specific in mind.
I can also upload Linux binaries later. I don't have GCC 14 to build Windows binaries.
