FLAC / Re: freebies
Last post by traja47 -
I am actually using a custom mande FLAC metadata editor and also using EAC for ripping CD.
I am interested in high qualigy *.flac, having high bit rate.

I can obtain *.flac from *.wav, albeit I prefer to obtain *.flac direct to save time.

thanks for your time and effort, appreciate.



If all you are interested in is uncompressed music to test with, then there's an enormous lot of free-of-charge stuff on Bandcamp. Also on Soundcloud - but you probably need to fire up your search engine, and the interesting thing is that artists sometimes then upload directly from their DAW. There are some floating-point PCM around, which cannot be compressed by FLAC (use WavPack).

*.flac is *.wav compressed
Actually, it usually only compresses the audio and not the files - but that is usually what you want. The non-audio part of the .wav container is not that interesting, especially not if you ripped a CD (which isn't from a file in the first place).
The big difference is if you are dealing with audio editing software. Then use the format it supports.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: JSplitter (splitter + SMP x64 alternative)

There is a case for what you're saying but as a consumer iterating menu commands, you would have no issue if the flags were zero before passing them in.

Code: [Select]
for (auto ptr : mainmenu_commands::enumerate())
{
for (const auto i : std::views::iota(0U, ptr->get_command_count()))
{
pfc::string8 display;

// component consuming menu items sets flags to zero every time
uint32_t flags{};

// don't rely on provider resetting it inside here
ptr->get_display(i, display, flags);
}
}

mpv to foo_record has been stable for 2hrs with zero stutter/dropout ... fantastic.
fooBar should be able to run these streams with no stuttering without having to run external tools.
external mpv
Sorry. You misunderstood me.

I know you (and I) cannot run that stream without stuttering with fooBar only. So fooBar needs to be fixed.
It would be nice if this problem was acknowledged by the developer and put on a todo list.

Unfortunately nope - when foobar run the stream, I still get occasional stutter (source stalling error seen on console) even when using 4096kB of remote file buffer. Not sure what/where is the issue with foobar streaming module.

when I use mpv to manage the stream, no stutter for 2hr period as I posted above.

No clue how to troubleshoot foobar.... if only there was a debug/trace mode that allow us to monitor the internal buffers (similar to mpv "I" info display) that will be great for troubleshooting.

EDIT: Wait... it works on x64 version
Yep. But it's a pure coincidence) I hasten to inform you that there is a bug in the foo_listenbrainz2 plugin, due to which the plugin can report literally anything about the state of the unchecked menu, in other words, we can simply get numeric garbage. Therefore, in 32 and 64 bit versions it turned out differently, just was unlucky with 32 bits) But when menu is checked it is always correct, that's a fact.

EDIT: I wrote a bug report to the author

Audio Hardware / Re: Question in-ears magnetic driver
Last post by Chibisteven -
I wouldn't store anything magnetic near a CRT because it screw up the picture on it.  Or anything magnetic near a magnetic storage device.

Why are you so worried with devices that are sensitive to magnetic fields even wrecking your IEMs when it's the least likely thing to destroy them?

If you really want to wreck your IEMs send a shit ton of power through the wires and into the drivers (they might even smoke or catch fire).
