SOX-DSD ~ SoX With DSD For Windows.

Posted by tom2tec on

Here located unofficial builds of the SoX (Sound eXchange) audio tool with DSD support and other patches (including both DSF & DFF I/O and SDM sox “effect” to convert from PCM to DSD) for OS Windows only. Provided two Windows executable files for 32 & 64 bit systems. Binaries were cross-compiled on Linux using MinGW/gcc on fully static way.

  •  DSF I/O
  •  DFF I/O
  •  SDM effect to convert from PCM to DSD

NSMusicS ~ Modular Multiplatform Player

Posted by tom2tec on

The NSMusicS plan is a multi-modal smart music software based on Electron and WPF, supporting multiple platforms.

  • Windows Professional MusicPlayer++
  • Tens of millions – song level of Music Library Management on NAS
  • Music and Entertainment Scenes (Recording karaoke and scoring…)
  • Windows Music IDE, similar to Adobe Audition:
    1. Identify songs module based on sound fingerprint technology (also open sourced as a separate project model)
    2. Guessing Your Favorite Module Based on Big Data User Behavior Analysis
    3. AI singing module based on NLP, replacing the sound of the song with your own (also open sourced as a separate project model)
    4. AI music notation module based on NLP (also open sourced as a separate project model)
    5. AI extraction of audio lyrics synchronization information based on nlp (breaking copyright barriers such as Krc and Qrc)
    6. Implement functions such as NSMusicS singing bar scoring and evaluation

FlexASIO ~ Flexible Universal ASIO Driver

Posted by tom2tec on

FlexASIO is a universal ASIO driver, meaning that it is not tied to specific audio hardware. Other examples of universal ASIO drivers include ASIO4ALL, ASIO2KS, ASIO2WASAPI.

Universal ASIO drivers use hardware-agnostic audio interfaces provided by the operating system to produce and consume sound. The typical use case for such a driver is to make ASIO usable with audio hardware that doesn’t come with its own ASIO drivers, or where the bundled ASIO drivers don’t provide the desired functionality.

While ASIO4ALL and ASIO2KS use a low-level Windows audio API known as Kernel Streaming (also called “DirectKS”, “WDM-KS”) to operate, and ASIO2WASAPI uses WASAPI (in exclusive mode only), FlexASIO differentiates itself by using an intermediate library called PortAudio that itself supports a large number of operating system sound APIs, which includes Kernel Streaming and WASAPI (in shared and exclusive mode), but also the more mundane APIs MME and DirectSound. Thus FlexASIO can be used to interface with any sound API available on a Windows system. For more information, see the backends documentation.

Among other things, this makes it possible to emulate a typical Windows application that opens an audio device in shared mode. This means other applications can use the same audio devices at the same time, with the Windows audio engine mixing the various audio streams. Other universal ASIO drivers do not offer this functionality as they always open audio devices in exclusive mode.
