similar to: New tuned encoder

Hi all, I started testing the RC1 encoder at ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe (based on branch_monty_20010708) On the songs I have tested so far (not much :) I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are some very noticeable problems with the produced files. Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around) It

Hi! I am very pleased with the progress that Ogg is making, expecially after I read the latest comparision tests on http://ff123.net/128test/instruct.html that put OGG on top aside with MPC. BUT the APPLAUD.WAV test case ( http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/applaud.wav ) still produces **VERY** easily audible high-frequency artifacts when encoded with OGG RC3 up to q4.9 (!!!). Things

Hello all, I'm glad to announce to you that Vorbis now has full ReplayGain support. If you're not familiar with ReplayGain, take a look at www.replaygain.org. The main features are: a) all songs play back with equal loudness b) removes the need for normalization c) allows for clipping prevention Using it is very simple. Get a compatible decoder (ogg123, XMMS and WinAmp all support it

And thats only a player. What about an (Open Source) encoder? Nah, I'll stick with OGG for the time being.

I would very much like a lowpass option because for FM radio broadcasting I don't want to encode frequencies above 15khz. I'm waiting for this option before switching to ogg from mp3(lame).

Hi all, I have implemented ReplayGain support for Vorbis. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically a method of making sure all your files have equal loudness, remove the need for normalization and prevent clipping during playback. The process is totally lossless, and supporting it requires minimal work. More info about the exact workings can be found on www.replaygain.org (recommended

As far as I can see, transcoding could be usefull for people who do not primarly care about quality but about filesizes. One could assume that such a user would have a collection of mp3's at 128kbps or higher bitrates, and uses an encoder like BladeEnc or Xing. He wants to take uses of ogg's supposed quality and transcode his 128-or-higher files into 96 or 112kbps oggs to save diskspace.

After doing an informal (128k) listening test, I have concluded that I prefer Beta4 over RC2. The 16kHz low-pass on the RC2 encoder makes it sound like FM radio. Both encoders SEEM to have a couple of dB bump at 10kHz.

In case you missed it, RC2 is on slashdot.org too: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/08/13/1811241 BTW Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote on /. that RC3 should appear very soon (in a week or so)?

When using the abx utility that is in LAME's misc dir, trying it on an ogg (with ogg123) gives the following output: Standard Open Source Bug detected, try murksaround ... (ogg123 is decoding to stdout) IIRC this also happened with older mpg123's but no longer with the latest release. Latest ogg123 from CVS still gives it though. Someone stole code but forgot to check for fixes? :)

Hi! I would like to share with you an interesting test result. I re-encoded a song 10 times (the 2. made from the 1., the 3. made from the 2.,... the 10. made from the 9.), with a beta4 (CVS 20010620) and with an RC2 (CVS 20010817) library version, 256 kbit/s mode, channel coupling disabled at RC2. The beta4 is very good at the 10. encoding too, but the RC2 has some interesting quality bugs. So,

Hello everyone, I'm a student at the Universtiy of Delaware, and will be soon starting some research on the effects of lossy audio compression on speech sounds. I will be preforming test with both mp3 and vorbis. First of all, if I use the '--ogg' switch to lame, does lame use GPSYCHO to encode the wave, or some other psychoacoustic model (perhaps one designed for

Hello -- I desperately want to start using Ogg compression on music I release on the internet, but I am encountering a fair amount of artifacts. I noticed some in beta4 and was hoping they would disappear with RC1. However, I've been playing with RC2 and I've still been banging my head into a number of problems. A majority of the music I make has long drones with a fair amount of spectral

Hi all, I am wondering if do exist a function in R that allow me to sample or choose randomly the rows (i.e., samples) inside a given matrix. Thank you very much in advance. Cheers, -- Gian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everyone, I would like to seek your advice regarding a build (or rather "configure") problem I am running into. For reference, tests are all relative to a build from a 1.8.26.0 tarball, on Debian Wheezy. I would like to understand if it is possible, and if any of you have tried, to build Asterisk from a subdirectory of the source tree, i.e., from a clean source tree # mkdir
