A2M ~ Audio To MIDI
A2M converts local audio into editable MIDI using a trained piano model. No uploads, no accounts, and no cloud dependency.
- Local processing only
- CPU default, NVIDIA GPU optional
- Batch size control for GPU tuning
- Outputs to Downloads/A2M
A model download is required once on first launch (~165 MB).
Best results come from solo piano recordings. Mixed tracks or full songs will be less accurate.

Desktop VU ~ Meter 4 Rainmeter Skin
If listening to music is one of your favorite hobbies, then the Desktop VU-Meter 4 plugin could just be perfect addition to your desktop. The skin features more life-like VU meters that will give ultimate control of your audio music experience. The audioscope music visualizer features analogue and digital VU-meters, waves and lines that move in correspondence with the rhythm of the music. On the audio level settings, use the mouse wheel to modify the various values and the left button to configure load default values. You can design your own visualizer using the gradient, custom colors or extract colors from the cover or wallpaper, after which you’ll set up the player and audio device and then load the visualizers.

pre.di.c ~ Digital Crossover
This program makes a linux computer equipped with a modern sound card behave as a traditional hi-fi preamp, but able also to make advanced DSP equalization and crossover tasks.
That means that, with a proper soundcard, external sources can be used, be them analog or digital, along with digital libraries or streamed sources.

Earful ~ Audiophile Hearing Test App
What is it? And a WARNING!
Earful is an app designed to measure and evaluate the lower threshold of hearing across a frequency spectrum. It is designed to run on Windows and support ASIO, WASAPI, and Direct Sound audio devices. Use with headphones is recommended for greater accuracy and noise elimination.
In addition, with version .10, Earful now supports two other types of tests:
- Equal-loudness testing using the same device and 1kHz reference tone
- Two devices equal-loudness testing, using a reference device, such as speakers, and a test devices, such as headphones
The app is free to use, but to use it, you must agree to do so AT YOUR OWN RISK ONLY. Make sure that the volume settings are set such that any loud sounds played through your system will not damage your equipment or your hearing! This is important. Set the frequency range in Earful correctly, and also specify the maximum volume setting at a low number to avoid surprises (default is -20dBFS).
Features:
- Pick your own frequency range for the test
- Specify any number of logarithmically spread points to test along the frequency axis
- Compare your results to others, compare to your older tests to check for changes, or compare to any of the industry standard, published curves
- Test with a single tone, a warble tone, or a band-limited white noise
- Using a simple text format supported by REW, so the result can be loaded into that tool directly
- Supports ASIO, WASAPI exclusive/shared, and Direct Sound device drivers
- Display in dB SPL or in db FS with configurable dBSPL calibration
- Apply a flat calibration curve to account for variations in headphones or speakers
- Equal-loudness testing using a 1kHz reference or a separate audio device
Use is entirely at your own risk.

AFsp ~ Audio File I/O Routines
The AFsp package is a library of routines for reading and writing
audio files. The emphasis is on providing support for the type of
audio file used by the speech processing research community. The
routines have been designed to be easy to use, yet provide transparent
support the reading of several audio file formats. A secondary
purpose for distributing these routines is to encourage the use of a
standard audio file format for the header information in the output
files.
The following file formats are supported for reading.
- NIST SPHERE audio files
- Sun/NeXT audio files
- DEC audio files
- IRCAM SoundFiles
- INRS-Telecom audio files
- ESPS sampled data feature files
- Headerless audio files
The audio file open routine automatically senses the file type and
communicates it to the audio file reading routines. Formats are
converted on the fly as the file is read, so the user manipulates
floats and doesn’t need to worry about the underlying data format.
For writing, the routines produce a standard format file, though
options are available to produce headerless files if desired. This
standard format is a compatible with the Sun audio file format. There
is provision for storing extra information in the extensible part of
the header.
Several audio file utilities (for copying, comparing, and filtering
audio files) are included in the package.

Before layout changes are made and periodically, it’s a good idea to backup your current theme.
Open File > Preferences > Display > Default User Interface
Now select Export Theme to open the Choose Theme Selections to Export dialog
Normally everything is left selected. Click Ok and give the .fth theme backup file a useful name and save it in a folder that itself is backed up.
If you make a layout mistake or need to install a new instance of foobar2000 just import the .fth theme file

shntool ~ WAVE Processing & Reporting Utility
shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not – provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.
shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other lossless audio formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. The “Helper programs” section below contains links to helper programs for each format that shntool supports.
