DSBMixer ~ FreeBSD Tabbed Qt Mixer


DSBMixer is a tabbed Qt mixer for FreeBSD. For each installed mixer device, DSBMixer opens a tab. It allows you to configure various sound settings, such as amplification, recording sources, or the default audio device. If built with devd support, tabs are created or removed automatically when a (USB) sound card was added to or removed from the system.

DawDreamer ~ Audio Processing Python Framework


DawDreamer is an audio-processing Python framework supporting core DAW features and beyond:

  • Composing graphs of multi-channel audio processors
  • Audio playback
  • VST instruments and effects (with UI editing and state loading/saving)
  • FAUST effects and polyphonic instruments
  • Time-stretching and looping, optionally according to Ableton Live warp markers
  • Pitch-warping
  • Parameter automation at audio-rate and at pulses-per-quarter-note
  • Parameter automation saving in absolute audio-rate time
  • MIDI playback in absolute time and PPQN time
  • MIDI file export in absolute time
  • Rendering and saving multiple processors simultaneously
  • Support for the Faust Box and Signal APIs
  • Transpiling Faust code to JAX/Flax and other target languages (C++, Rust, Wasm, etc.)
  • Machine learning experiments with QDax
  • Multiprocessing support
  • Full support on macOS, Windows, Linux, Google Colab, and Ubuntu Dockerfile

DawDreamer’s foundation is JUCE, with a user-friendly Python interface thanks to pybind11. DawDreamer evolved from an earlier VSTi audio “renderer”, RenderMan.

ThatMicPre ~ DIY Mic Preamp With Switched Gain


A simple, high-quality DIY microphone pre-amplifier with switched gain. The background for this project was that I needed a simple but good microphone preamp for doing acoustic measurements. I needed a switched gain to be able to reproduce the gain setting in a more predictable way than what is possible with a potmeter. I could not find any existing DIY designs, so I decided to make one.

The design is based on the excellent THAT1510 or THAT1512 preamp ICs. It is also compatible with SSM2019 or INA217. I have followed all THAT’s datasheets and app-notes to implement a robust, best-practice design.

A goal was to use simple through-hole parts that I and other DIYers usually have in our parts drawer. So there are no additional IC’s or voltage regulators for example, it just uses simple transistors, capacitors and zener diodes for supply filtering and regulation. I selected affordable switches and connectors to keep cost down. Many parts can be substituted without sacrificing performance.

There are two versions of this design, one suited for a desktop encolsure with gain switch on top, and one suited for a rack-mount enclosure with gain switch on the front.

LosslessSwitcher ~ Mac Sample Rate Utility


LosslessSwitcher switches your current audio device’s sample rate to match the currently playing lossless song on your Apple Music app, automatically.

Let’s say if the next song that you are playing, is a Hi-Res Lossless track with a sample rate of 192kHz, LosslessSwitcher will switch your device to that sample rate as soon as possible.

The opposite happens, when the next track happens to have a lower sample rate.

foo_listenbrainz2 ~ Foobar2000 & ListenBrainz


ListenBrainz 2

A foobar2000 component to submit the music you listened to to ListenBrainz or another ListenBrainz compatible scrobble server (for example Maloja).

This component was originally written by marc2k3. This repository is an attempt to preserve the source code of this excellent component and hopefully to revive the development.

github.com/phw/foo_listenbrainz2

What is ListenBrainz? ListenBrainz keeps track of music you listen to and provides you with insights into your listening habits. For details see:
