DXD-e ~ Experimental DXD Audio Format

Posted by tom2tec on

This is a library that implements a proposed digital audio intermediary format, called DXD-e, that allows audio player and workstation applications to handle DSD (Direct Stream Digital) audio with only minor modifications to their input and output plugins. This is accomplished by embedding the original 1-bit DSD audio stream, along with a digital pilot signal, into a conventional decimated 24-bit PCM version of the DSD stream (which is known otherwise as DXD). This embedding consumes the 9 LSBs of each 24-bit sample (8 for the DSD and 1 for the pilot) while noise-shaping filters are employed to completely bury the resulting noise underneath the existing high-frequency DSD quantization noise always found in a DXD stream. In short, the DXD stream is made to hold a lossless copy of the original DSD stream without any degradation.

Voxengo MSED ~ Mid-Side Encoder Plugin

Posted by tom2tec on

  • Mid-side encoder/decoder
  • Mid-side stereo widener
  • Stereo imaging
  • Stereo channels swapper
  • 180-degree channel phase flipper
  • Stereo correlation and balance meter
  • Unique β€œplasma” vector scope

Step into a new dimension of stereo control with Voxengo MSED – a professional, no-compromise free audio mid-side encoder-decoder AudioUnit, AAX and VST plugin designed for audio engineers and creative producers alike.  Whether you’re tightening a mix, widening a synth pad, or repairing phase issues, MSED gives you surgical command over the heart and soul of your stereo image.

At its core, MSED effortlessly splits any stereo track into its Mid (center) and Side (ambient) components – and seamlessly reconstructs them back.  But it doesn’t stop there.  With the β€œInline” mode, you can adjust gain, panning, and mute status for Mid and Side channels independently without needing multiple plugin instances.  That means faster workflow, cleaner routing, and zero clutter.

Need to flip phase by 180Β°, swap channels, or extract only the Mid or Side signal?  MSED handles it instantly.  And with its stunning Plasma Vector Scope, you don’t just hear the stereo field – you see it.  This unique, frequency-aware visualizer places low frequencies at the outer edge and high frequencies toward the center, helping you spot phase issues, balance problems, and correlation irregularities at a glance.

Add to that stereo correlation and balance meters, zero processing latency, and 64-bit floating-point precision, and you have a lightweight yet powerful tool that fits seamlessly into any session.

Voxengo MSED isn’t just a utility – it’s your stereo scalpel.  Clean.  Fast.  Visual.  Essential.

Carat ~ Concise Atmos Ripping Automation Tool

Posted by tom2tec on

Carat is a lightweight, automated GUI utility designed to accept Dolby Atmos music releases in practically any format, locate the primary title in the release, retrieve metadata and cover art from the internet, and incorporate the release directly into your digital music library in a single click.

From the moment a new Blu-ray arrives in your mailbox, Carat handles the entire pipelineβ€”extraction, processing, metadata acquisition, and cover artβ€”with zero friction. If your source files are already on your SSD, Carat will process an entire release in a minute or two (depending on the speed of your computer). If you are starting from a physical disc, the time is limited by the read speed of your optical drive (expect five to ten minutes).

foobar2000 ~ foo_bookbar

Posted by tom2tec on

Bookbar is a DSP component for foobar2000 (32-bit and 64-bit), designed for listening to audiobooks, podcasts and spoken-word recordings. It lets you smoothly change playback tempo, pitch and “tape speed”, and optionally enhances the sound (loudness leveling and speech intelligibility). The configuration window is fully accessible to screen readers (NVDA, JAWS).

Bookbar is a port of the Winamp pluginΒ BookampΒ to foobar2000.

Chord Cadenza ~ MIDI Chord Player

Posted by tom2tec on

This app helps you to play and improvise chords whilst a MIDI file or audio source is being played. It does this by updating a rolling display to map the chord notes to a piano keyboard. It can also dynamically assign notes or chords to keys on a MIDI or PC keyboard.

Synchronisation is achieved automatically from a MIDI file. An audio file (e.g. MP3) can be synchronised and saved using the program.

Chords and major/minor keys can be extracted from the MIDI file using a configurable tool that analyses the MIDI file. Chords, keys, and time signatures can also be created or updated manually – this allows you to play along with an audio source without requiring a MIDI file.

The program contains a sequencer-style display that can be used to control the volume, panning, muting, solo’ing and patching of the tracks of the MIDI file.

Audio can be rendered with the program’s builtin synthesizer (using SoundFonts), or an external synthesizer.

Features:

  • Extract keys and chords from a MIDI file.
  • MIDI sequencer with track display and control.
  • Output to built-in synthesizer or MIDI out port.
  • ASIO and non-ASIO sound cards supported.
  • Play with MIDI or PC keyboard.
  • Display chords on a piano roll to facilitate playing and improvisation.
