It was the newsletter of Trinity Concerts that brought my attention to BOY a few days ago: a female-female duo making good mood music — quite fun to listen to. Sadly it seems the local concerts are sold out already. YouTube has quite a few videos on/of them though, both live and studio. Check them [...]
The Album itself is from 2008 but so what. I’ve had a lot of fun with Cog’s “Sharing Space” lately. Especially compared to the other other albums I bought this year (including artists like Smily Empty Soul, Chevelle and Vertical Horizon) that did not manage to meet my admittedly high expectations, this has been a [...]
This release adapts to the lowpass range extension introduced with libbs2b 3.1.0. So if you (or someone else) upgrades libbs2b on your machine to 3.1.0 you should upgrade to 0.9.1 of the LADSPA plugin. Get it here: LADSPA bs2b plugin download Let me take the opportunity to point to ALSA headphone bs2b howto by Julian [...]
libbs2b 3.1.0 is out, get it here: Download And the change log: bs2bconvert/bs2bstream – add switch of crossfeed level by feed level and cut frequency. Win32 library of libsndfile v1.0.19 migrated to v1.0.20. Fixed for higher compile warning level. Extended cut frequency set from [300..1000] to [300..2000] Hz (BS2B_MAXFCUT) Apply compile fix patch for FreeBSD [...]
Especially interesting if you use ALSA as it supports LADSPA! Headphone pleasure no matter what application is playing that sound (if it’s playing through ALSA). Check it out: ALSA headphone bs2b howto by Julian Weißgerber LADSPA bs2b plugin download
Three WTFs about LADSPA: When writing a LADSPA plugin you need to request a globally unique ID for that plugin. Without such an ID you basically cannot release your plugin to the public. LADSPA hosts actually use that ID to identify plugins so collisions are a real problem. Range control slots (think sliders from say [...]
New releases ready for you: XMMS bs2b plugin 0.5.0 All stream formats are handled now Audacious bs2b plugin 0.9.2 Sample rate change propagation fixed For downloads along here please: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151236
I have been porting bs2b to Audacious: The first version of the Audacious bs2b plugin using version 3.x of libbs2b has been released yesterday. If you are using Audacious please give it a try. Bug reports welcome.
bs2b is short for “Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP”, an audio effect increasing headphone listening pleasure. Check the well-explained algorithm details for more. I helped with making a shared library from bs2b using the Autotools family: Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, autogen.sh. The just-released libbs2b-2.2.1 is featuring that. bs2b plugins for many popular audio players are already available (e.g. [...]
They have not closed down, I have closed down the link between my audio player of choice and the what-do-I-listen-to tracking machine. I realized that turning it on and off where needed produces more stress to me than the whole service is giving to me. I used to turn it off when I listeneded to [...]
