Mirlo ~ Open Source Audio Distribution & Patronage Platform

Posted by tom2tec on

Mirlo provides a user-friendly space to help musicians sell music, manage subscriptions, and share with their supporters.

Our mission

The music industry does not work for musicians or listeners and needs a radical re-imagination.

Mirlo is a community of musicians, listeners, and coders who are daring to do just that: taking lessons learned in working in the solidarity economy and applying them to our process and product.

We are building an online audio distribution (think Bandcamp) and patronage (think Patreon) platform that aims to be radical, accessible, open source (free & libre), modular, and standards based.

mirlo.space

A RESTful API and client.

Aqualizer ~ Open Source Digital Equalizer

Posted by tom2tec on

Aqualizer, a computer program that can be used in order to filter sound. In fact it is a digital equalizer. However, it is an equalizer for connoisseurs, so to say, as we researched how we could improve the existing equalizer to fit the needs of DJ’s and sound designers even better.

SMPlayer ~ Media Player With Built-in CODECS

Posted by tom2tec on

SMPlayer is a free media player for Windows and Linux with built-in codecs that can play virtually all video and audio formats. It doesn’t need any external codecs. Just install SMPlayer and you’ll be able to play all formats without the hassle to find and install codec packs.

One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave… don’t worry, when you open that movie again it will be resumed at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume…

SMPlayer is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the award-winning MPlayer, which is capable of playing almost all known video and audio formats. But apart from providing access for the most common and useful options of MPlayer, SMPlayer adds other interesting features like the possibility to play Youtube videos or download subtitles.

foo_dsp_stereoconv ~ Natural Headphone Crossfeed

Posted by tom2tec on

​Natural crossfeed Foobar2000 component designed to give a realistic crossfeed / speaker simulation effect on headphones or earphones while producing a wide soundstage and zero sound coloration.

Simulates speakers spaced 30+30 degrees apart (classic stereo setup with better front projection of imaging) or 50+50 degrees apart (widened stereo setup with more similarity to classic headphone soundstage width)

Update 2016-07-26: I’ve put the “secret” update in public as v2.1, containing a new set of impulses. They also come in 30+30 degree and 50+50 degree versions but are derived from actual measurements around my head.

Buzztrax ~ All In One Music Composer

Posted by tom2tec on

Buzztrax aims to be a music studio that allows one to compose songs using only a computer with a soundcard. If you’ve used tracker programs like FastTracker, Impulse Tracker, or the original AMIGA SoundTracker, that will give you an idea of how one can sequence music in Buzztrax.

The Buzztrax editor uses a similar concept, where a song consists of a sequence with tracks and in each track one uses patterns with events (musical notes and control changes). In contrast to other Tracker programs, tracks are not simply sample players: a user can make a song using an arrangement of virtual audio plugins that are linked together to create different effects. Each of these machines can be controlled real-time or via patterns in the sequencer.
