Debian Multimedia Project
Summary
Audio utilities
packages for manipulating & cataloging music and audio

This metapackage installs programs and plugins for manipulating & cataloging music and audio. This includes stretching audio in time, breaking it into segments, the detection of pitch, beat and silence, and transcoding between file formats. It also includes tools to assist maintaining music collections by detecting duplicates, tagging metadata and dealing with cover art and album information.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Multimedia Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Multimedia which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Multimedia to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Multimedia mailing list

This is a program for stretching the audio. It is suitable only for extreme sound stretching of the audio (like 50x) and for applying special effects by "spectral smoothing" the sounds. It can transform any sound/music to a texture.

It produces high quality extreme sound stretching. While most sound stretching software sounds bad when trying to stretch the sounds a lot, this one is optimized for extreme sound stretching.

The stretch amount is unlimited. You can play the stretched sound in real-time (including the possibility to "freeze" the sound) or you can render the whole sound or a part of it to audio files.

It has many post-processing effects, like: filters, pitch/frequency shifters Support for WAV, OGG VORBIS files and MP3 files.

  • divergence (Divergence from Linear): Difference between actual output time and the output time for a theoretical linear stretch

  • phaseresetdf (Phase Reset Detection Function): Curve whose peaks are used to identify transients for phase reset points

  • smoothedphaseresetdf (Smoothed Phase Reset Detection Function): Phase reset curve smoothed for peak picking

  • phaseresetpoints (Phase Reset Points): Points estimated as transients at which phase reset occurs

  • timesyncpoints (Time Sync Points): Salient points which stretcher aims to place with strictly correct timing

Silan is a standalone application to analyze audio files for silence and print ranges of detected signals.

It supports a variety of audio-formats and codecs by making use of libsndfile and ffmpeg/libav for reading audio-data.

Signal threshold and hold-off time can be freely configured. The output can be formatted with samples or seconds as unit or printed as audacity label file.

The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it.

Sonic Visualiser could be of particular interest to musicologists, archivists, signal-processing researchers and anyone else looking for a friendly way to take a look at what lies inside the audio file.

This program can strech and pitch-shift .wav-files independently. This is especially useful for musicians, who want to listen to a song played slowly, without having the pitch altered.

This program uses libsoundtouch for the actual work.

SoX je nástroj príkazového riadka, ktorý dokáže previesť rozličné zvukové formáty na iné formáty. Tiež na tieto zvukové súbory dokáže počas konverzie aplikovať rozličné efekty. Naviac SoX dokáže prehrávať a nahrávať hudobné súbory na viacerých unixových platformách.

SoX dokáže pracovať s formátmi ako Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, AIFF, VOC, SND, AU, GSM a niekoľko ďalších. Podpora akéhokoľvek formátu vyžaduje aspoň libsox-fmt-base. Niektoré formáty majú vlastný balík, napr. podporu čítania a zápisu MP3 poskytuje libsox-fmt-mp3.

SoX podporuje väčšinu bežných zvukových architektúr ako ALSA, Libao, OSS a Pulse (balíky libsox-fmt-alsa, libsox-fmt-ao, libsox-fmt-oss a libsox-fmt- pulse). Tiež podporuje zásuvné moduly LADSPA.

Input format is any file readable by libsndfile, output is either WAV (WAVEX for more than 2 channels) or CAF. Apart from resampling, users can change the sample format to 16-bit, 24-bit or float, and for 16-bit output, add dithering.

Available dithering types are rectangular, triangular and Lipschitz' optimised error feedback filter. Some examples of dithering can be seen here: http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/dithering.html

Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run complex audio setups.

Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many others.

Ardour has support for 24 bit samples using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo, a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware control surface compatibility.

It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.

Ardour contains a powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select, cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece

Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another strip.

Ardour's channel capacity is limited only by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk subsystem to stream the data back and forth.

JACK (the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications and/or hardware audio interfaces.

Ardour is sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits, and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE floating point format.

Further information can be found at http://ardour.org/.

Mp3cat - wnpp
reads, writes, splits and combines MP3 files
License: GPL-2+
Debian package not available

mp3cat can read a stream from standard input and write to standard output. Instead of standard output, mp3cat can store MP3 data across multiple timestamped files in a directory (an "mp3dir") and another instance can follow the stream from there.

Also, mp3cat only outputs MP3 frames with valid headers, even if there is extra garbage in its input stream. This fixes up time/frame estimates in a stream created by simply concatenating mp3 files or by other utilities that add app-specific frames.

License: GPLv2+
Debian package not available

MP3packer is a program which attempts to save space of MP3 files by storing frame data in the smallest possible frame.

By default, the program generates the smallest MP3 possible (with the least padding), transforming Constant Bitrate (CBR) files in Variable Bitrate (VBR) files. With files generated by the LAME MP3 encoder with "--preset insane", it can result in saving of up to 10% in size, losslessly.

Furthermore, it can turn VBR files into CBR for use with players which don't support VBR.
