Windows Vista / 7 VU Meters

Posted by tom2tec on

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.

Local Audio Broadcast ~ Stream Windows Audio

Posted by tom2tec on

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.

MJUC Jr. ~ Variable Tube Compressor

Posted by tom2tec on

MJUC jr. is the little brother of the colorful MJUC.

It’s a variable-mu design with lots of vibe, capable of smooth leveling but also heavy pumping effects. With its two gain stages and interstage transformer simulation it offers a very deep and lively soundstage.

The three-position timing switch not only controls the attack and release times of the unit, but also the slew rate of the transformers and the timing of the other parts of the circuitry, that are directly influencing the generated harmonics (saturation).

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.
