3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Dynamic Range plugin
Last post by Defender -
Thanks marc2k3. I certainly don't like bright decorations that don't belong.
I added the DR scanning as an option to True Peak Scanner, and implemented the darkening changes there first. It was surprisingly difficult to make Windows use the new style, I couldn't make it work except by programmatically adjusting the dialog size.


I enabled dr scanning in the settings for truepeak scanner and removed components foo_dynamic_range and foo_dr_meter since they are obsolete (for scanning). Truepeakscanner 0.6.3 works excellent.

There are some minor UI issues though.

The text in the context menu is incomplete. It says Truepeak and positions but nothing about DRA,
I would not if it would only say Truepeak (and does all the things you enable in settings).

The popup window that comes up after the scan does not remember it's last size settings and there is now a couple of columns extra which I cannot see unless I everytime resize the popup window.

Finally ... I cannot clear DRA tags from the context menu, since I removed both foo_dynamic_range and foo_dr_meter.
Same as above I would not mind a context menu item that says remove Truepeak tags which removes all the things you set in truepeak scanner settings (including replaygain stuff).

Thanks for this great addition.

FLAC / Re: Multithreading
Last post by Replica9000 -
This works with Bash on Linux
Code: [Select]
flaccid --preset 8 --input-format cdda --in <(flac -c -s -d Foreward.flac) --out Foreward2.flac
This method doesn't preserve any tags though.

Support - (fb2k) / Re: Foobar seems to ignore LFE channel.
Last post by Case -
Nothing wrong with the provided sample. It contains a valid LFE channel and I can't replicate foobar2000 ignoring it. Downmix to stereo DSP keeps it, playing the file with default WASAPI keeps it, even in exclusive mode. Custom output components I can try play it.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: TSAC: Very Low Bitrate Audio Compression
Last post by rc55 -
@fab7 ...what about a Gcolab-notebook to perform compression tests ?

EDIT:
What about a NN-based audio codecs blind comparison ?
I've collected some here.

Just wanted to say thank you for compiling this.

I'm really excited about the potential of NN based audio encoders. I think concerns about power consumption will be less of a problem as upcoming CPUs and SoCs will have neural acceleration built in (if they haven't already).

My guess is that over time there will be a number of standard weights (hopefully static and reproducible) that are bundled with various encoders, perhaps as part of the operating system itself or in the formats specification.
