Foobar2000 ~ EAC Log Viewer Script

Posted by tom2tec on

SMP EAC Log Viewer for Foobar2000

The SMP EAC Log Viewer is a Spider Monkey Panel (SMP) script for Foobar2000 designed to display Exact Audio Copy (EAC) log files in a DUI panel. It preserves the alignment of log columns, color-codes the conclusion lines for quick success/error identification, and prepends a summary line so it scrolls with the rest of the log.

Features:

  • DUI panel
  • Monospace font: Preserves column alignment in all EAC logs.
  • Color-coded conclusions:
    • Green = successful rip
    • Red = errors found
  • Summary line: Displays overall pass/fail and scrolls with the log.
  • Automatic log detection: Checks multiple common naming conventions:
    • %album%.log
    • %artist% - %album%.log
    • EAC.log

Installation:

  1. Download the script
    Get the latest version of the SMP script from the GitHub repository:
    github.com/tom2tec/foobar2000_smp_eac_log_viewer/releases
  2. Copy the script
    Copy and paste the eac_log_viewer_panel.js script into your preferred scripts folder. Typical choices:
    • C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Foobar\scripts
    • Or any folder you already use for SMP scripts.
  3. Add a Spider Monkey Panel
    • Open Foobar2000 and switch to your DUI layout.
    • Right-click → Add New UI Element → Spider Monkey Panel
    • Open the Edit Panel Script… pane and paste the contents of eac_log_viewer_panel.js. or point to the script’s location in Panel Properties… → Script File → File.
  4. Adjust panel settings
    • Set the font to match your DUI theme (monospace).
    • Resize the panel to comfortably display the full log width.

Usage:

  • The panel automatically updates when:
    • You play a new track.
    • You change focus in the playlist.
  • Scroll through the log using your mouse wheel.
  • The summary line shows the overall rip status and scrolls with the text.
  • Color-coded lines highlight conclusions: green for success, red for errors.

Notes:

  • The script is optimized for one log per album, but will attempt all three naming conventions for flexibility.
  • Unusually named logs may require manual renaming in order to conform or add an input condition to the script.
  • DUI theming preserves font and panel appearance but maintains column alignment.

Voxengo Boogex

Posted by tom2tec on

Applications

  • Real-time guitar processing
  • Speaker cabinet simulation
  • Stereo convolution processing
  • Guitar reverb effect

Boogex is a free guitar amplifier AudioUnit, AAX, and VST plugin with a variety of sound shaping features, for professional sound and music production applications.  With Boogex it is possible to get a heavy distorted sound as well as slight “jazzy” saturation sound.  Boogex is able to apply convolution with any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available).  The processing latency is close to zero making it possible to use Boogex for real-time guitar processing.

Boogex can be used as a plain stereo convolution processor when its “Amp” stage is turned off.  The convolver module has zero latency and is not CPU-demanding.  Boogex also includes the input gate module, and reverberation module derived from Voxengo OldSkoolVerb reverb plugin.

Boogex produces a nice “minimalist” rock music-geared sound which may be a bit noisy at higher overdrive settings; higher frequencies can be easily suppressed with its built-in Emphasis EQ.  With the amp modes Boogex currently provides, it is not particularly well-suited for metal music, but can still be used as a cabinet impulse response processor for metal music.
