Axone.jar is a utility allowing you to view all the information available in an MP3 file. This is not to be misunderstood: all the possible information. In the tag version 2 (ID3V2), the information is subdivided into frames and there are many more frames declared than frames actually displayed by MP3 players. Well Axone.jar knows how to display them all, without exceptions and whatever the version!
Very classic frames such as title, album, artist, year, genre, track and comment.
Other frames displayed by only some MP3 players.
the image(s).
the composer.
the text of the song.
volume control (itunes)
The frames that are hidden from you (not necessarily with bad intentions).
Undeclared frames, not understood and therefore clearly hidden from all MP3 players.
The other frames usually not used.
Other data
The Lyrics and TAG+ tags, which are completely obsolete, may remain forgotten in certain files. If they are present, Axone.jar displays them.
When the software reads an MP3 file to display the current tag, it does a summary check of the audio data. It gives you the classic information on bitrate, sampling frequency, duration, etc.; but also if it finds excess or erroneous data. Excess data can be a sign of corrupted audio data, or of data intentionally hidden if the file was purchased on a merchant site (or if you did P2P). At this level, it is important to understand that the audio decoder is robust in the sense that data that is incomprehensible to it is simply skipped. It is therefore very easy to hide data between audio data, without risking disturbing MP3 players.
Correlometer is an analog-style stereo multi-band correlation meter.
Multi-band correlation meter is an advanced way to check for presence of out-of-phase elements in the mix. Broadband correlation metering reports overall phase issues and may misrepresent problems present in select spectral bands, while multi-band correlation meter easily highlights problems present in mid to high frequencies that are not easily heard by ear, but may still reduce clarity of the mix. Another application of multi-band correlation metering is phase- and time-aligning of channels and tracks, especially bass and bass-drum pairs, guitar mic and D.I. source pairs, two-microphone stereo recordings, etc.
Correlometer can display 4 to 64 individual spectral bands, with adjustable band quality factor that controls the degree of band’s selectivity. Averaging time of correlation estimator can be adjusted. Correlometer supports side-chain inputs for easy correlation estimation between separate audio tracks.
daktilo (“typewriter” in Turkish, pronounced “duck-til-oh”, derived from the Ancient Greek word δάκτυλος for “finger”) is a small command-line program that plays typewriter sounds every time you press a key. It also offers the flexibility to customize keypress sounds to your liking. You can use the built-in sound presets to create an enjoyable typing experience, whether you’re crafting emails or up to some prank on your boss.
This application can be used to find artifacts in audio files generated by signal processors. It analyses the signal variance across the audio duration, then generates a graph of the results.
The following types of audio can analysed: * Music * Sine Tones * Noise (White, Pink, etc)
If the audio recording is split across multiple files, they can be loaded into this application collectively and will be treated as a single stream. Multiple batches can also be loaded, in order to process multiple recordings in one continuous operation. The scanners can only process audio files up to 2.5GB, but the file splitter function can be used to break up large files into smaller ones.
MonoChannel is a EQ and VU meter with basic console channel controls.
Insert MonoChannel on your audio tracks to monitor your audio signal and adjust its tonal balance. It is designed only to encourage the use of proper gain staging and audio balance workflows in digital audio. MonoChannel is NOT a distortion/saturation/console emulation plugin.
Windows VU Meter is a standalone application that mimics an old stereo’s VU or audio level meters. Designed for Microsoft® Windows Vista® and up (even tested on Windows 7®), the program has no intervening toolbars or window frames to allow the program to allow a clean interface and make it easy to overlay on top of a program you’re using. Features of the program include:
For Microsoft ® Windows Vista ®, and after testing, works with Windows 7 ® as well.
Clean interface that includes no toolbars or window dressings
Ability to select response time of VU Meter, selectable of 150ms or default 300ms. Response time is the amount of time it takes the needles to make a full swing of the gauge.
User selectable interface component coloring. Program saves and remembers settings the next time it’s run.
Option setting to allow always-on setting, allowing the program to be laid over another program that you’re monitoring the audio levels for. An example image.
User option to alter the maximum value of the VU Meter. This is handy for videos or music that were recorded at a lower value. The above example image is an example of this too.
All program options and commands are handled by right-clicking the interface.
This simple application captures the local audio playback in Windows and sends it over the local network to a UPnP renderer. I originally wrote it to stream Spotify music playback from my computer over the home network to my HTPC running XBMC/Kodi (since I wasn’t satisfied with the available Spotify plugins), it can be used for any audio though.
AudioAlign is a research tool to investigate automatic synchronization of audio and video recordings that have either been recorded in parallel at the same event or contain the same aural information. It is designed as a GUI for the Aurio library.
