<p>Dear sound/audio folks and engineers,</p><p>I have a directory with 3.5GiB of audio files (chiefly opus & m4a) which are spoken word recordings.</p><p>Some of them are quite low, and some of them are quite dynamic such that it's a whisper at times and nearly a shout at other times.</p><p>I've processed a lot of them with <a href="/tags/audacity/" rel="tag">#audacity</a>'s compressor filter or <a href="/tags/ffmpeg/" rel="tag">#ffmpeg</a> (ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.</p><p>Is there a way from the <a href="/tags/commandline/" rel="tag">#CommandLine</a> to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?</p><p>Thanks!!</p><p><a href="/tags/audio/" rel="tag">#audio</a> <a href="/tags/sound/" rel="tag">#sound</a> <a href="/tags/soundengineering/" rel="tag">#SoundEngineering</a> <a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> <a href="/tags/hivemind/" rel="tag">#HiveMind</a></p>

<p>Today I released my next audio effect plugin: Pult EQ - a Pultec style tube EQ.</p><p>Pult EQ is made for adding mojo and sound coloration. You can eq and saturate your sound and do the “Pultec trick”. The EQ features stereo and mid/side processing and the saturation comes with gain compensation and up to 16 times oversampling.</p><p>Pult EQ is a free and open source VST3 plugin (64bit) for Linux and Windows.</p><p>Download: <a href="https://github.com/consint/Pult-EQ" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>github.com/consint/Pult-EQ</a></p><p><a href="/tags/vst3/" rel="tag">#vst3</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#linux</a> <a href="/tags/musicproduction/" rel="tag">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="/tags/plugin/" rel="tag">#plugin</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#foss</a> <a href="/tags/windows/" rel="tag">#windows</a> <a href="/tags/audio/" rel="tag">#Audio</a></p>

<p>is there a macOS application that can do basic audio routing/mixing? e.g., mix these inputs and send the audio to this output, then send this other input to a different output. something like Cantabile (for Windows), if anyone knows that.</p><p>at the moment i use Logic to do this, but it's rather overkill for something this basic.</p><p><a href="/tags/macos/" rel="tag">#macos</a> <a href="/tags/audio/" rel="tag">#audio</a></p>
