FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by ktf -
Great that you're also seeing improvements. This is a change for which the improvement is highly dependent on the source material, so this is probably not going to show up for everyone. For your source material the improvement is more pronounced with presets 8 and 8p, with the tests I did it was specifically for 5 and 5p.

Scientific Discussion / Re: Are complex-input FFTs really useful for audio analysis?
Last post by saratoga -
BTW, what I mean by "complex-input FFTs" is treating stereo signal as complex numbers (real part = left channel, imaginary part = right channel) and fed into FFT instead of doing two FFTs for each stereo pair

Since the real and imaginary parts of the transform are orthogonal, this is the same as performing a real-valued FFT once for each input and then combining the individual outputs. 

See this derivation for a more detailed explanation:  http://www.hyperdynelabs.com/dspdude/papers/COMPUTING%20THE%20FFT%20OF%20TWO%20REAL%20SIGNALS%20USING%20A%20SINGLE%20FFT.pdf

Scientific Discussion / Are complex-input FFTs really useful for audio analysis?
Last post by TF3RDL -
Since I've made the project "Spectrum analyzer and spectrogram using custom FFT", which has a feature to display multiple channels and Mid/Side representation (which foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer lacks thereof), I wonder what does "Treat channel pairs as complex input" (both in Left/Right and even Mid/Side signals) have any useful purposes for audio, not just I/Q signals in radio?

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_truepeak True Peak Scanner
Last post by Defender -
New version uploaded: https://foobar.hyv.fi/?view=foo_truepeak
Added extra abort checks. And changed the behavior of info removal. Now if True Peak Scanner is configured to scan and write standard ReplayGain tags the removal will remove those also.
A hint for @Defender: you can hide unwanted context menu entries in Preferences and get them visible by holding shift when you open context menu. That, I think, is a good way to hide seldom used stuff but still have access to it.

Thx. All ok. And thanks for the shift tip.

I noticed you made an option available in the standalone DR scanner to automatically write values without opening the resultscreen.
Can you please implement that option too in truepeak scanner?

SACD scanning is still slow, but I guess it has to do with the extra conversion of the native DSD format.

When I play SACD (I have to use PCM) and I don't use a lowpass filter artifacts are clearly visible in Channel Spectrum. The moment I enable the lowpass filter those artifacts disappear.
I noticed that you always resample SACD to 352k upon scanning which is good. Do you also apply the lowpass before/upon scanning?
If not, wouldn't it be a good idea to do so?

EDIT: Probably best just to activate the lowpass filter in SACD settings itself. That way a conversion to flac does not inherit the artifacts also.
