Vinyl / Re: What's the ideal way to fix the pitch of a vinyl recording?
Last post by drumliner -I believe you can do this in Audacity. I KNOW you can do this in Adobe Audition. The result is exactly the same as turning the pitch control on the turntable. BTW, what is "lossless vinyl"?
Many audio editors will let you do it and I am asking about the best way to go about this in order to maintain audio quality as much as possible, ie not unnecessarily introduce anything unwanted in the process. As for your question I said "lossless vinyl recordings", meaning recordings of vinyl stored in a lossless format to point out these aren't lossy files editing of which would lead to loss of quality anyway, making my question about retaining quality largely moot. Apologies for the confusion.
If you're saying the original vinyl was spinning at the wrong rate...
Yes that's what I meant. I'm familiar with the audio editing processes and I was trying to avoid confusion with my choice of words, but I guess I wasn't all that successful at that. I'm used to "time stretching" as the process of changing tempo without altering the pitch and "pitch shifting" as the process of changing pitch without altering the tempo and I know these two will mess with audio quality, although they have certainly progressed a fair bit compared to the early days. In any case I'm not trying to do either of these, all I need is to simply slow down the recordings to avoid re-rerecording the vinyls at the right speed (I determined all the problematic vinyls have been recorded at +8%). I used "pitch" in the thread's title because that's what the control for changing the speed at which the vinyl is spinning is usually labeled on turntables like the famous Technics and I thought people would be most familiar with this terminology when talking about vinyl. Again sorry for the confusion.
to be really sure you're doing this the right way, better stick to using only resampling.
it requires a step where you change the sample rate without resampling (to actually change the speed), this is rarely implemented but when it's in WAV/PCM format, it has a fairly simple structure so you can edit the sample rate number in the header with a hex editor.
resampling is even optional, if you don't care that the resulting sample rate will be something wildly non-standard. Most players will resample on the fly. And it's the most lossless method, if all you do is modify one number in the file header without even changing the waveform data.
so, for example: let's say you have a record in 44.1 kHz and you need to make it play twice as fast (and therefore also an octave higher). Then you can edit the sample rate info in the header to be 88.2 kHz, and that's it.
This is exactly what I'm trying to do. The recording was done at 96khz with the "pitch" setting on the turntable at +8%, so I need to slow down by roughly 7.41%, which if my calculations are still correct, would be the same as setting the sample rate to 88.886hz (no resampling as you say). My audio editor allows me set the sample rate directly (has a "set sample rate only, no resampling" option), so I don't even have to hex edit the header manually. But I do think I'd rather have a standard sample rate, so I guess I can then resample from 88.886hz to the standard 44.1khz. Would this be fine or am I messing up somewhere?

Last post by Air KEN -foobar2000 v2.1.6 64-bit (Default UI)
All panels displayed on the TAB, including the Playlist View, use JSplitter.
Multiple overlapping panels.
Even if you uncheck Show caption and hide the title bar, you can still move the Panel with the mouse.
Preferences > Tools > JSplitter > Move panel with middle mouse button
A cross mark will appear and you can move it.

Last post by da yuyu -...
I've checked the cover flow preference, played around with various setting but nothing seems to make any difference.
Any ideas?
Surely it is quite confusing. Since v1.17.0 configuration settings (marked *) are stored separately to support multiple UI instances. The UI element context menus should be used instead to modify these.
Also related to this, about the cover flow not following the playing track, that is a bug. The 'Follow Now Playing' preference value should apply when adding new UI elements to the layout... it should be fixed in the next release.

Validated News / Re: Site reorganisation / move
Last post by danadam -Quote
On October 3, the British government announced that it was giving up sovereignty over a small tropical atoll in the Indian Ocean known as the Chagos Islands. The islands would be handed over to the neighboring island country of Mauritius, about 1,100 miles off the southeastern coast of Africa.
The story did not make the tech press, but perhaps it should have. The decision to transfer the islands to their new owner will result in the loss of one of the tech and gaming industry’s preferred top-level domains: .io.
...
The IANA may fudge its own rules and allow .io to continue to exist. Money talks, and there is a lot of it tied up in .io domains. However, the history of the USSR and Yugoslavia still looms large, and the IANA may feel that playing fast and loose with top-level domains will only come back to haunt it.
