Posted by tom2tec on

Ear Tag is a simple audio file tag editor. It is primarily geared towards making quick edits or bulk-editing tracks in albums/EPs. Unlike other tagging programs, Ear Tag does not require the user to set up a music library folder. It can:

  • Edit tags of MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG and WMA files
  • Modify metadata of multiple files at once
  • Rename files using information from present tags
  • Identify files using AcoustID

Network access is only used for the “Identify selected files” option.

Tambourine ~ Linux Music Player

Posted by tom2tec on

A music player for your local music library.

  • Linux first
  • Local only: no internet connection will ever be established.
  • Read only: your music will be accessed only in read mode.
  • Stateless: no cache/database/whatever will be created. The metadata in your songs are the database.
  • Imperfect: there will be use-cases that are not solved by this software, and that’s fine.

FlavourMTC ~ Mixbus Tone Control

Posted by tom2tec on

FlavourMTC follows classic “passive” equalizer designs where the EQ circuits itself are not able to amplify signals but a dedicated amplifier stage takes care of it. Those EQ designs are well known for allowing very transparent frequency changes while their amplifier designs do add some icing on the cake quite often.

FlavourMTC implements this by utilizing 1st order shelving filter designs avoiding unwanted resonances and takes advantage of “zero delay” implementations for most accurate higher order filtering and w/o introducing curve warping near Nyquist frequency. The output amplifier stage of the plugin can be calibrated according specific mixing levels, provides a distinct “box tone” and glues everything together. Parts of the plugin are oversampled internally for maximum transparency and sound quality.

LosslessExtract ~ Rip High Resolution Audio

Posted by tom2tec on

Designed for precision and simplicity, it effortlessly extracts high-resolution audio from Blu-ray, SACD, MKV or DVD=Audio sources.
