Last post by 2zrg -
Hi there,

I am looking for the parameters for foobars Mp3 conversion within this settings:



I just want to create a CBR 128 lame profile (for car audio). (I dont't know if I have to use --replaygain.)

Can somebody help me out?

Thanks

How come when I click your Hyperfire link it brings me back to this hydorgenaudio Helix thread?
Can you provide a download link to try this? 

The link in that message takes you to an example of how to use Hyperfine, so that you don't have to go through the user's guide in search of the proper commands. To date, the latest version available for download on Github is 1.18.

When troubleshooting, the first thing I do is look for a minimal reproducible example, i.e. I simplify the chain of events that lead to the problem. By measuring the audio encoding using several versions of Helix MP3 encoder in the terminal, we will know for sure whether Foobar2000 affects the slowdown in any way or not. If there is a comparable slowdown to the point that the system becomes unresponsive in the terminal as well, you can continue to encode via Foobar2000.

@KevinB52379, what if you discard Foobar2000 as an intermediary for a while and encode right in the terminal using Hyperfine, a cross-platform tool for warming up the system and measuring the execution time of the binaries? For example, @misio discovered and I verified that visualization via VST plug-ins works much slower in Foobar2000 than the same plug-ins in audio editors (DAWs), and surprisingly, interaction with WavPack files turned out to be the slowest.

How come when I click your Hyperfire link it brings me back to this hydorgenaudio Helix thread?

General - (fb2k) / Re: Tagging with an iterative loop e.g. tag automatically according to folder order
Last post by timalina -
I know Mp3Tag offers something similar - although I'm not sure it'd reset the disc number across albums - but assuming you have the directories named sensibly e.g. CD01/Disc 01, couldn't you just use something like:
Code: [Select]
$substr($directory(%path%,1),3,4)
Assuming, your layout looks something like this: ...\Artist - Album\CD 2\9 - Title.ext

You can extract the disc number for all tracks of all albums (just pull them into a playlist) by

1. opening the Properties dialog
2. select Tools > Automatically Fill Values
3. select Source "Other...", to the right enter $directory(%path%,1) (which extracts the name of the parent directory, e.g. "CD 2", from the full file path)
4. in line Pattern, enter CD %discnumber%
5. verify the preview, Ok; Done.

Thanks, but I've got thousands of folders without a consistent structure, so parsing strings would be laborious.

Also, I'm wanting to edit the album tags as I go (to removed 'CD 1'-type suffixes and make the album tags identical, so manual tagging would be quicker than parsing.

Really, I'd want something that works in a similar way to the 'Auto track number' function, but for Discnumbers.

If I try to reload the panel, it happens again, it takes 1-2 minutes. Everything was fine before updating. The other error is for Playlist tools, I'll post there.

General - (fb2k) / Re: foobar2000 as Audiobook player
Last post by Bogozo -
For speed there is foo_dsp_effect which includes "Playback rate shift" and "Tempo shift" DSPs. Only up to 2x. But to achieve 3x, you can use multiple instances of DSP in row.

There is option "Save playback state when closing foobar2000 and resume on next start up". But it will not work in case of power failure or killing foobar2000 with task manager. And there is bookmark functional in foo_skip to add bookmarks manually.
