3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -
Oh I forget the reassignment and NC (neighboring components) method exists to make FFT-based spectrum and spectrogram look much sharper in both time/frequency axis (though with caveats of for the former, having point cloud-like appearance especially on lower frequencies and for the latter, a rectangular window and possibly zero-padding works best though for both, the FFT size parameter still makes sense considering there is still a time/frequency resolution tradeoff in a form of window length), which can greatly improve the spectrogram display but is it worth adding these to foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer component?

BTW, I think the smoothed spectrum still have poor time resolution on higher frequencies in log2 frequency scale with FFT sizes like 32768, 65536, or even higher samples assuming it is just a post-processing step (considering just decreasing the Q value can similarly produces a smoothed spectrum but with improved time resolution, but it only applies to IIR/FIR filter bank anyway)

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Dynamic Range plugin

It would be nice if you could consider a silent mode. I have assigned the function to a keyboard key and don't need the result dialog. A progress bar would then be sufficient.
Option added.

But to my taste the multichannel and RMS thing gets a bit cluttered.
Added option to turn off all the extra info.

Could you add to the plugin an option to export the log in the format as we have known it for years?
Log option added. I did my best to mimic the formats. The log uses different syntax for single files.

Merge it with the other - or maybe kill that one. Because this thread is more informative - here one can find a why don't you use G.729 instead.
If you need it at all, or just are of the kind who insists that everyone should spend their time on any and every idea you may come up with.

Proper audio analysis have full resolution at log2 frequency scale. But here I find amateurs coding plugins with low and quantized output only. Hard to learn here anything new.

Support - (fb2k) / Problem with playing CAF file
Last post by DJ Graco -
Hi,
If I am creating a thread in the wrong place, please moderators  move it.
I have a problem with one of the CAF files. I'm using a component by nu777 foo_input_caf and all files play fine otherwise. VLC Media Player plays it, but not completely. It may be a component error, but I don't rule out another error.
Maybe this file is corrupt.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: Quite OK Audio (QOA)... anyone ?
Last post by Klymins -
QOA is a Quite OK codec for me :D, but it's not too transparent. I made an ABX with Foobar2000 and got 16/16. Here's the link to the drive folder:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d40gGr2tG4xwBiNR1TR-PBZhorsT56G2?usp=drive_link

Maybe QOA can be transparent at higher sampling rates but looks like it's not transparent at 16kHz etc. I hope a 4-bit version will come (1-bit and 2-bit versions were came) for storing high quality audio with it, but looks like 3-bit is still a good compromise between filesize and quality for most circumstances.
