Support - (fb2k) / Re: Foobar seems to ignore LFE channel.
Last post by mzso -Then it must be something wrong with Equalizer APO.It's independent of EQ APO, it plays fine in my mediaplayer. And there's no LFE in foobar with EQ APO disabled either.
I have no ideas why there's no output for LFE.

Last post by Porcus -Did a few brief tests. On a couple of tracks, yours returns a dB more than foo_dynamic_range . No problem unless it is a symptom of something, I'm just assuming it is roundoff.I read somewhere the default component resamples everything to 44.1 kHz. My component doesn't do that as that shouldn't be necessary and the PDF paper describing the measurement doesn't speak anything about resampling. Another difference is that the old component clips at least sample peaks to 1.0. I do not clip anything as I consider that incorrect. Though if people disagree I can modify the behavior.
No disagreement over improved handling, please keep it - I only intended to raise the "are discrepancies to be expected?" question to a 1.0 version.
By the way, I tested CDDA stored losslessly, so it is not about resampling.

Speech Codecs / Re: Best practive to reeendoce previously 64k speech/music audiobook (Audi
Last post by Porcus -As for re-encoding the decode, you do get generation loss. B kbit/s lossy decoded and re-encoded into B kbit/s lossy is not the same as the original - not saying you will actually hear the difference - but the way to tell is by ear. Consider lossies on your mp3 player as disposable, and if they aren't good enough: throw away and re-encode.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_skip: skip tracks that match a specified search query
Last post by Sergey77 -The context menu feels like a wrong place for that action. Context menu is supposed to show valid actions that you can perform to any number of selected tracks regardless of current playback state. Bookmarking playback position is only related to the active playing track. The on/off toggle isn't in the context menu either.Maybe this context menu option "Add Skip Track bookmark" would only be available when playing a track? Accordingly, the bookmark would be added only for the active playing track. If more than one track is selected, this option is not available.

Last post by Case -Truepeakscanner 0.6.3 works excellent.Let's move foo_truepeak discussion to its thread here: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,125719.0.html.
There are some minor UI issues though.

There can be other weirdnesses going on too. The algorithm paper for example tells to split the audio for RMS scanning to blocks that are 3 seconds in length. Then it says that in their example 3 seconds of audio at 44.1 kHz equals 132480 samples. That's 180 samples too much. 44100 * 3 = 132300.

Last post by Defender -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.
