Bitter ~ Bitscope & Intersample Clip Monitor

Posted by tom2tec on

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
  • Display the audio sample rate

DISTRHO Ildaeil ~ Plugin Host

Posted by tom2tec on

DISTRHO Ildaeil is mini-plugin host working as a plugin, allowing one-to-one plugin format reusage. The idea is to load it as a plugin inside your DAW and then the other “real” plugin inside Ildaeil. This allows, for example, a VST3 host to load LV2 plugins and vice-versa.

The Ildaeil name comes from the korean 일대일, which means “one to one”.

Features:

The current formats Ildaeil can work as are:

  • JACK/Standalone
  • CLAP
  • LV2
  • VST2
  • VST3

And it can load the following plugin formats:

  • Internal (from Carla)
  • LADSPA
  • DSSI
  • LV2
  • VST2
  • VST3
  • CLAP
  • JSFX

With a few extra formats through the “Load from file…” action:

  • Audio files (through internal audio file player, synced to transport)
  • MIDI files (through internal MIDI file player, synced to transport)

yabridge ~ Host WIndows Plugins On Linux

Posted by tom2tec on

Yet Another way to use Windows audio plugins on Linux. Yabridge seamlessly supports using both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows VST2, VST3, and CLAP plugins in 64-bit Linux plugin hosts as if they were native plugins, with optional support for plugin groups to enable inter-plugin communication for VST2 plugins and quick startup times. Its modern concurrent architecture and focus on transparency allows yabridge to be both fast and highly compatible, while also staying easy to debug and maintain.
