I don't have the True Paek Scanner installed, just foo_dr_meter.

Truepeak scanner is a one stop shop. You can use it instead of replay scanner as well. So just one scan and you have all truepeak, replaygain, clipping, lra and dr in your tags. Of course you can disable what you don't want.

Is DR Meter now redundant with True Peak Scanner? Meaning that all of the functionality of DR Meter is now present in True Peak Scanner?

Thanks!

Everybody with basic understanding of lossy compression knows that lossy encoders don't introduce coloration.
Unless the audio is encoded at low bitrates to the point artifacts are audible to even begin with, though it obviously depend on the lossy codec (e.g. MP3, AAC and its variants like xHE-AAC, OGG Vorbis, Opus) that audio is encoded with?

for @Klymins, what does "sound colorization" really mean in the context of artifacts introduced from lossy audio compression at very low bitrates?

Another weird one, it seems to lag significantly behind the audio, what's the setting I need to adjust to get it in sync with the music?
While there is no such thing as "Reaction alignment" parameter as in foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer, you can lower the FFT size to 4096 or lower to get better sync through it loses the frequency resolution and also, the amount of delay ahead actual playback in proportion of FFT size parameter is exactly the same as this relevant CodePen project with something like "delay compensation" enabled

BTW, I would assume that if IIR filter bank mode is added, the filter bank-based musical spectrum doesn't have this problem of lagging behind the audio and have equal resolution for all frequencies in logarithmic frequency scale

@regor,

sorry for the confusion and never mind. I just tried a too unrealistic/aggressive approach just to illustrate the issue
that it should be gracefully handled by foobar itself when exiting abruptly during HTTP requests...

Your approach works just fine and is the correct way to handle this situation, we don't even need the safeguard
at the beginning of bioSend, I have tested it and it works just fine. As you pointed out:
Quote
there is a small window of time between the shutdown request and the actual shutdown and you have to use that.
With my unrealistic/aggressive approach it failed  ;)

Anyways, all is good, thx for that regor =)
Btw, can you add your workaround here:
https://github.com/Wil-B/Biography/pull/7 or make a new PR for WilB?

@Majestyk, I have already made a commit here:

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: How to add new modes in WMA 9.2?
Last post by Apesbrain -
You could do it via commandline:
Code: [Select]
cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs –input inputfile.wav –output outputfile.wma -a_mode 0 –a_setting 56_44_2
-a_mode mode_number
Specifies the encoding mode for audio content. You can use one- or two-pass CBR encoding (-a_mode 0 or -a_mode 1, respectively), or a VBR encoding encoding mode: quality-based (-a_mode 2), bit rate-based (-a_mode 3), or peak bit rate-based (-a_mode 4). For more information, see Using CBR or VBR encoding.

-a_setting bitrate_samplerate_channel
Specifies the audio bit rate, sample rate, and channel setting for encoding. Or, if you are using the Windows Media Audio 9 Professional or Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codecs, -a_setting also specifies 16- or 24-bit encoding, as bitrate_samplerate_channel_bitspersample. Use the -a_formats option to view the settings supported for each codec. If you are using the Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec, the default value is 12_16_1. If you are using the Windows Media Audio 9 Professional codec, the default value is 128_44_2_24 (unless you are also implementing a quality-based VBR session, in which case the default is Q75_44_2_24.) If you are using the Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codec, the default is Q100_44_2_16. If you are encoding uncompressed content, the default value is 705_22_2. For all other scenarios, the default value is 64_44_2.
