3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -As in the Codepen project " Spectrum analyzer and spectrogram using custom FFT ", the first graph is as it is but the second one is exactly the same as one but flipped (looking at "negative" frequencies) in FFT bin index ordering

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Cannot install input_sacd component (foobar 1.15.11 - Win XP)
Last post by dragonxxx -(I know about new foobar 1.5.12 and SSE2 problems, I didn't have time to try this.)
I went to a 64bits computer to test foobar 1.5.11 and input_sacd component. OS is still WinXP 32bits.
In my initial message I wrote "foobar 1.15.11" it was a typo.
The processor is AMD Socket 754 3300+ single-core SSE2 support 64bits CPU. I installed foobar 1.5.11;
for the input_sacd component I took "foo_input_sacd-1.1.3" as it is WinXP compatible. And it works.
The 2 components in "foo_input_sacd-1.1.3" were installed without probems, no crash or whatever.
I played a .DSF file from a SACD, then I loaded a SACD .iso file, immediately the tracks appeared in the
playing list. Now I have to learn how to extract FLAC files from the .iso
I read the comments of users, here is some history info:
All AMD 32bits processors in the Athlon XP family have SSE, including el-cheapo Duron that was not
that cheap after all. Semprons came at the end of the 32bits era for AMD, I would say they were SSE.
Then maybe AMD desactivated the floating point unit in these Semprons, if so it would be their
1xxx th. marketing strategy flop. At the beginning of the 64bits era for AMD all processors were SSE2;
a 64bits Sempron appeared as SSE2 but the last iteration was SSE3 (I have some of these).
I will be 72 at the end of this month. I saw the beginning of personal computing, the first IBM XT
computer, I bought an Apple II+ in 1983 etc. What a ride it has been !!
Now I stop to write and I am going to test foobar 1.5.12.

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Porcus -If we compare to other codecs' "preset choices", all for CDDA, then ALAC defaults to 4096 samples, ffmpeg's FLAC to 4608, TAK's largest -p4 modes have 0.25 seconds blocks, WavPack's is 0.5 I think down from 1 in WavPack 4, TTA (no measure of quality) a bit above 1 second, OptimFROG up to several and Monkey's ... I think the "Insane" mode is closing in on half a minute, but Insane is insane and the developer recommends not to use it.
So FLAC is already one which doesn't use big blocks, but it so turns out that the option to change parameters even more often, does improve.
Whether anything such is any priority for HALAC, which (in my view) is about showing what a new compression algorithm can do fast ...

Last post by bamajon1974 -He wrote the code for it and it's not open-source, if that's what you mean.
I need to report a bug/crash that I found while using the plugin. Is Veksha still active on these forums?

MP3 - Tech / Re: It's just me, or did MP3enc 3.1 sound better than LAME 3.97?
Last post by guruboolez -The 8 KHz/8 kbit files: muffled as expected but LAME also has artifacts. MP3enc sounds
16 KHz/ 16 kbit: very metallic for both encoders. Similar but I'd say that LAME is a worse.
It's funny to compare them with OPUS or xHE-AAC at similar bitrate
