shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not – provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.
shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other lossless audio formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. The “Helper programs” section below contains links to helper programs for each format that shntool supports.
Buzz transcribes and translates audio to text offline using OpenAI’s Whisper. Import audio and video files into Buzz and export them as TXT, SRT, or VTT files. Buzz supports Whisper, Whisper.cpp, Faster Whisper, Whisper-compatible models from the Hugging Face repository, and the OpenAI Whisper API.
Features:
Transcribe audio and video files or Youtube links
Live realtime audio transcription from microphone
Presentation window for easy accessibility during events and presentations
Speech separation before transcription for better accuracy on noisy audio
Speaker identification in transcribed media
Multiple whisper backend support
CUDA acceleration support for Nvidia GPUs
Apple Silicon support for Macs
Vulkan acceleration support for Whisper.cpp on most GPUs, including integrated GPUs
Export transcripts to TXT, SRT, and VTT
Advanced Transcription Viewer with search, playback controls, and speed adjustment

Perfect for musicians and audio enthusiasts needing reliable playback of both modern and legacy audio formats. Multi-threaded architecture ensures smooth performance. MIT License.
Bitter shows how many of the available bits are being used by the audio signal, reports clipping samples, and estimates when digital-to-analog conversion would cause inter-sample clips. Typical uses for a bitscope include: verifying that a render dither is working properly; verifying that a particular plugin is not reducing the signal bit depth; testing for faulty audio source data.
Features:
Check for Intersample Clipping that may appear during digital-to-analog conversion
Detailed display of the usage density of each bit
Reveal the bitrate of the digital signal, which may well differ from that of the file’s bitrate or your DAW’s audio engine bitrate
This project is for a DirectSound DLL replacement. It implements the DirectSound interfaces by translating the calls to OpenAL, and fools applications into thinking there is a hardware accelerated sound device. EAX is also implemented (up to version 4) by using OpenAL’s EAX extension, allowing for environmental reverb with sound obstruction and occlusion effects.
Effectively, this allows DirectSound applications to enable their DirectSound3D acceleration path, and turn on EAX. The actual processing is being done by OpenAL with no hardware acceleration requirement, allowing it to work on systems where audio acceleration is not otherwise available.
Or more succinctly: it enables DirectSound3D surround sound and EAX for systems without the requisite hardware.
OpenMusic (OM) is a visual programming language based on Common Lisp. Visual programs are created by assembling and connecting icons representing functions and data structures. Most programming and operations are performed by dragging an icon from a particular place and dropping it to an other place. Built-in visual control structures (e.g. loops) are provided, that interface with Lisp ones. Existing CommonLisp/CLOS code can easily be used in OM, and new code can be developed in a visual way.
OM may be used as a general purpose functional/object/visual programming language. At a more specialized level, a set of provided classes and libraries make it a very convenient environment for music composition. Above the OpenMusic kernel, live the OpenMusic Projects. A project is a specialized set of classes and methods written in Lisp, accessible and visualisable in the OM environment. Various classes implementing musical data / behaviour are provided. They are associated with graphical editors and may be extended by the user to meet specific needs. Different representations of a musical process are handled, among which common notation, midi piano-roll, sound signal. High level in-time organisation of the music material is proposed through the concept of “maquette”.
OM-SoX is a library for multichannel audio manipulation and functional batch processing for OpenMusic, a visual programming environment based on CommonLisp / CLOS.
