VSLM ~ Virtual Sound Level Meter

Posted by tom2tec on

This project is the MATLAB development of a virtual sound level meter. The program will read in a calibrated .wav file and allow the user to analyze it as one would analyze a sound field with a sound level meter. The software implements Fast, Slow, Impulse and LEQ; A, C and Flat Weighting; Ln and Noise Dose analysis; Octave and 1/3 Octave band analysis; high resolution FFT analysis and spectrograms. Band analysis can be made using fast FFT methods or slower, but ANSI standard methods.

Source code requires MATLAB + Signal Processing Toolbox.
Developed under MATLAB R2010a (but might work with some earlier versions)

Executable version does not require MATLAB and runs under Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Features

  • MATLAB Based Software Sound Analyzer
  • Mimics results of an ANSI Standard Integrating Sound Level Meter
  • Includes Lp, LEQ, Octave and 1/3 Octave Band, NC, RC and FFT Analysis

Speedy MIDI ~ Easy MIDI Editor

Posted by tom2tec on

Speedy MIDI is an editor designed for choirs and singers to quickly generate MIDI files for rehearsal.

Focus is on fast and easy note entry

If the quality of the sheet music is too low for scanning, Speedy MIDI is an interesting alternative to other MIDI or notation editors. Use the mouse piano for input, or an external MIDI keyboard.

Cell raster technique

Note lengths are entered in multiples of the current cell length.
Thus entering dotted notes or ties is not needed any more!
Tuplets are fully supported.

Simultaneous entry in multiple tracks

Speedy MIDI automatically distributes multiple pressed notes to multiple tracks. This helps when entering music with same rhythmic patterns in multiple voices, e.g. chorale music.

Features:

  • unlimited undo/redo
  • part extraction
  • rehearsal markers (verse, chorus etc.)
  • transpose
  • adjustable playback speed
  • swing playback
  • shortcuts for all commands
  • compatible file format: Standard MIDI File (.mid)

Metatogger ~ Windows Audio Tag Management

Posted by tom2tec on

Metatogger is a tag editor for audio files. These tags or metadata are helping to exploit with more efficiency audio files data. Most of the files are not coming along with metadata, while others are having wrong, useless or inconsistent data. Sometimes, even file name doesn’t reflect the true content of the file. It is then difficult to identify the piece without playing it. This is where Metatogger makes it great.

Metatogger allows correcting or completing audio files tags. It comes with features that allow:

    • manual tags editing or with C# scripts;
    • retrieve tags from file name or paths;
    • rename files with tags content;
    • look after duplicate audio files;
    • organize files according to tags (copy, move, symbolic link);
    • retrieve tags in a local database of 1.5 million public records;
    • retrieve covers and lyrics from Internet;
    • identify files using acoustic fingerprinting technology;
    • easily clean unwanted tags.

Metatogger works with Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, M4A (AAC and ALAC) and WMA.
