:shock:

Mine doesn't!

Neither 6.0 nor 6.0.2.

Both have VLC as the default media/music player!

:shock:
RSH

"you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0) :lol:

No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

If pMusic is installed it will respond and show version by this command:

Code: Select all

pmusic -v

Another ffmpeg solution for Tahrpup

#1945 Post by mikeslr »

Hi All,

Another solution to Tahrpup's ffmpeg problem. See here, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 342#821342.

Sure wish I had known about it. :(

Sure wish people got into the habit of communicating solutions on all relevant threads. :cry:

albumart.org has changed, and does now require human verification. I have started the work to use amazon.com for the albumart-grabber...

A fun-project for the next major release: Sound editing of input stream.
- It allows sound-editing of either playback or export stream.
- Mostly fun, but personally, I benefit of normalizing files before I copy them to the cellphone / mp3-player

Thank you for this function. I hope to give it a try. Does anybody know of a method that allows 'normalisation' that operates in two directions - by which I mean it boosts very quiet parts of a sound file, but reduces the very loud parts of the same file.

I have some tracks which contain two voices - one close to the mic (too loud as a result) and one voice far from the microphone (too quiet as a result). I can use mhwaveedit to select small portions of the track and normalise up or down as required for that segment, but it is a very manual and time consuming process to work through the whole file in this manner.

I don't know what I would call such a function - maybe "flatten" normalisation?

greengeek: You might have a look at SoX filters.
Added:
The voice-cleanup.sh script might give a starting point.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# This script, as used at http://language101.com, shows using several
# effects in combination to normalise and trim voice recordings that
# may have been recorded using different microphones, with differing
# background noise etc.

SOX=../src/sox

if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 infile outfile"
  exit 1
fi

$SOX "$1" "$2" \
  remix - \
  highpass 100 \
  norm \
  compand 0.05,0.2 6:-54,-90,-36,-36,-24,-24,0,-12 0 -90 0.1 \
  vad -T 0.6 -p 0.2 -t 5 \
  fade 0.1 \
  reverse \
  vad -T 0.6 -p 0.2 -t 5 \
  fade 0.1 \
  reverse \
  norm -0.5

In audio dynamics, those are known as compression and limiting -

Audacity has a feature under the 'Effects' menu heading called

Equalization

Also 'Noise reduction' effect in Audacity can get rid of a annoying background hiss in tape.
Select a small amount of the hiss, and click the 'Noise Profile' .

Then select all the audio
CMD - R to do effect again)

Thanks for the suggestions everyone - I will start a new thread for my specific issue rather than cluttering the pMusic thread. I will post back when I have done a bit of testing and written up the new thread (so far I tested sox with goingnuts syntax and seemed to have a problem with the compand syntax. More testing to follow...)

If there are any useful filters available in ffmpeg, I can hopefully include them into the new sound editing module. All ffmpeg audio filters can be found here. BUT, please be aware that pMusic is a music player - not an effect rack ;-)

If I got it right, the guys at ffmpeg have done some major work to convert the sox-effects to work wiith ffmpeg.

Please test and give us the syntax, and a definition what it does - I don't get all this technical stuff :-)

@ zigbert
I prepare a 'puplet' based on Precise Puppy 5.7.1 and the latest woof-ce (testing).
The puplet will be available in four versions pae/NOPAE ; en/fr.
For the fr (French) version, I want to add a list of favorites to pmusic_radio (to allow quick access to most listened French radio, it will be friendly for users).

I added in the main SFS, the file /root/.pmusic/favorites
My problem: this file is overwritten at first launch of pmusic_radio (preset stations are not available to the user).
My question: how to integrate a radio list in puplet?

Note: sorry for my broken English.

Regards,

I think this could easily be solved including the french radio stations in a favorites list (*.pmd file). These files are not overwritten by pMusic, and is available together with the 'normal' favorites. Add radio stations to the list by using the right-click menu in either the playqueue or the sourcelist (left pane). see screenie.

The *.pmd files are stored in $STORAGE_DIR/favorites_lists where $STORAGE_DIR is $HOME/.pmusic/ until user changes this in the preferences. At that time all favorites should be copied to the new location.

Hope this helps
Sigmund

In next release you can use alternative favorites settings as you describe.
Thank you for the feedback - it makes pMusic better
