Foobar2000 ~ File Operations


File Operations are available from the context menu when a playlist item or group is selected.

wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/Foobar2000 File Operations – foo_fileops

Using File Operations is both efficient and necessary. The library location of the your music is updated by the built in component foo_fileops. Albums are filed differently than compilations. Often users have a local library and a networked backup archive. File Operation Presets allow you to automate these procedures.

cdparanoia ~ Linux Digital Audio Extraction


Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) tool, commonly known on the net as a ‘ripper’. The application is built on top of the Paranoia library, which is doing the real work (the Paranoia source is included in the cdparanoia source distribution). Cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC or raw 16 bit linear PCM.

Cdparanoia is a bit different than most other CDDA extration tools. It contains few-to-no ‘extra’ features, concentrating only on the ripping process and knowing as much as possible about the hardware performing it. Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming during atomic reads. Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been damaged in some way.

Cdparanoia is easy to use and administrate; It has no compile time configuration, happily autodetecting the CDROM, its type, its interface and other aspects of the ripping process at runtime. A single binary can serve the diverse hardware of the do-it-yourself computer laboratory from Hell.

CLAMPS ~ Common Lisp Aided Music Production System


Clamps, short for “Common Lisp Aided Music Production System”, is a software system for realtime and non-realtime music production written in Common Lisp. It enables a seamless workflow between high-level structures to define musical processes all the way down to low level DSP definitions for sound creation including browser based interfaces for interactive work and control useable for live performances. In that respect it combines features of systems like OpenMusic, SuperCollider or the Pure Data/Max family of software.

SmartGuitarAmp ~ Neural Network Hardware Emulation


Guitar plugin made with JUCE that uses neural network models to emulate real world hardware.

See video demo on YouTube

This plugin uses a WaveNet model to recreate the sound of real world hardware. The current version models a small tube amp at clean and overdriven settings. Gain and EQ knobs were added to modulate the modeled sound.
