With its bit crushing and downsampling algorithms, Krush combines the crispy taste of the digital realm with the warmth of its drive stage and analog modeled resonant filters. A modulation section allows you to quickly add extra life to the sound by modulating any parameter.
The sound palette produced by Krush ranges from the dirtiest digital effects to crunchy modulated colours, with all the classic and weirdest bit-crushing effects in between.

foo_hdcd ~ Foobar2000 HDCD Decoder
This PCM postprocessor component, currently utilized by the CDDA, WAV, FLAC, and WavPack inputs, will process 16-bit PCM data with HDCD packets into 20-bit PCM. If it fails to find any packet headers within the first 5 seconds of a track, it gives up.
The HDCD status will be indicated in the info variable “hdcd,” retrievable with either %__hdcd% or $info(hdcd). Extra info variables are “hdcd_peak_extend,” “hdcd_transient_filter” and “hdcd_gain.”
Also included is a simple scanner that processes up to 5 seconds of each track selected and reports all tracks which contain HDCD information. If users want it, I will impement a full file scanner that also reports which HDCD features are used throughout the tracks.

Those FLACs should still contain HDCD information, and the %__hdcd% info tag should be showing as much in the status bar. (Or in the playlist, if you have a playlist view that updates with dynamic metadata.)

fdkaac ~ Command Line Frontend For libfdk-aac Encoder
dkaac reads linear PCM audio in either WAV, raw PCM, or CAF format, and encodes it into either M4A / AAC file. If the input file is "-", data is read from stdin. Likewise, if the output file is "-", data is written to stdout if one of streamable AAC transport formats are selected by **-f**. When CAF input and M4A output is used, tags in CAF file are copied into the resulting M4A. github.com/nu774/fdkaac github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/fdkaac packages.debian.org/stretch/fdkaac
