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

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.
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.

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

I was able to get pmusic to work in April 64 when the dependencies were installed.
I saw a couple of spelling errors :roll:
I suggest 'occurred' rather than 'happened'

pmusic worked correctly with my script 'create-m3u'
however strangely pmusic played in the background . It doesn't use
the -b option so I don't understand. :roll:
The music files do add properly to playlist though.

This command is not valid:
- $1 is an executable - pMusic will try to add it to the playqueue, but obviously fail.
- $2 is a playlist without a path - pMusic doesn't support it. use ./audio25100.m3u instead to tell pMusic to look at active position.

I'm running April64. The LADSPA CAPS package isn't in the package manager or on the system, so pMusic fails to start; it "can't find /usr/lib/ladspa/caps.so". I installed CAPS 9.24 from source but now pMusic fails with "Unable to find label 'Eq' in plugin library file /usr/lib/ladspa/caps.so", because 'Eq' was renamed to 'Eq10' in CAPS 9.11. Does anyone have CAPS sources older than 9.11? The website only hosts the latest sources and I can only find compiled packages when I search...

pMusic does not depend on alsaequalizer, so if pMusic does not start, I guess something else is wrong. What is your terminal output when executing 'pmusic' - alternatively 'pmusic --debug' for more feedback.

It seems the error was being thrown by pEqualizer. I uninstalled pEqualizaer and reinstalled pMusic, and now it fails with

Code: Select all

/usr/local/pmusic/pmusic: line 491:  7508 Segmentation fault

So my gtkdialog is version 0.8.3. According to the PPM, I should have 0.8.4 rc514 built-in. I'll set gtkdialog straight and report back.

Edit: Ouch, gtkdialog is not worth messing with without a CLI for the PPM. I've installed pMusic 3.3.0 and it works great. I'll just stick with it for now.
