The video covers the Hollyland LARKM2S.
I wonder about other devices like it.

Windows: extracting CD-audio for a funeral: CDex, MP3Gain (a replaygain like implementation which modifies MP3 metadata) plus UI wrapper and audacity (for combining tracks)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/27
It has been a very long time since I played around with ripping audio from audio CDs and wrote software for audio handling. I lost access to that source code some 20 years ago, so part of this post is from memory. Hopefully that is still good memory (:
Yes, I am one of those old farts that still has computing equipment with optical drives (:
Much has improved since then, so one needs to write far less code nowadays as a of tooling is now open source or has been open source for quite some time. The hardest part was finding back CDex (which I think is still very useful especially as it handles not-so-well-handled audio CDs quite OK).
Anyway: I didn’t document much of my audio history. The only post I mentioned CDex in was Streaming your mp3 collection through an Icecast server using ezstream, which does not does it justice as back then it had been reliable for such a long time.
Funeral web-site
That web-site was horrible, especially as it was picky on audio formats. In the end, it handled 128-bit fixed bit-rate MP3 files best.

Un4seen.Bass Namespace – BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/19
A while ago, within a week time, I got reminded of a project I did some 15 years ago involving low-latency audio using the .NET platform on Windows XP Embedded.
For that I used the BASS.NET wrapper classes and P/Invoke methods around the Un4seen BASS Audio Library.
Back in those days there was not much documentation about this, but now there is more.
Some starting points are:
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library – Table of Content
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET Overview
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET API
BASS.NET is a .Net wrapper for the BASS Audio Library and all it’s Add-Ons – available @ http://www.un4seen.com. The Bass.Net.dll release version is installed in the specified ‘install-directory’ and will be registered to the .NET Framework as a standard component (if you left all the installation options checked). Note, that there are various Bass.Net assemblies available (side-by-side): one targeting the .Net v4.8 Full Framework and one targeting the .Net v6.0 Core Framework.
The native BASS libraries (e.g. bass.dll) are NOT included and need to be downloaded seperately – so make sure to download the BASS library and the needed add-on libraries and place them to your project executable directory (e.g. place the bass.dll to .\bin\Debug).
…
followed by an elaborate list of the Bass.net namespaces.
- [Wayback/Archive] Version History (back to the initial 2005 version; I used it from 2007-2009)
- [Wayback/Archive] Upgrading from Previous Versions
- [Wayback/Archive] Interoperating with Unmanaged Code was still in its infancy somewhere on the forums when I used the Bass.net library. Wish it had been in its current state, as it now is a set of wonderful guidelines.

Momenteel repeteer ik wekelijks met mijn muziekverenigingen realtime via internet. We kunnen echt samen muziek maken en dat is heerlijk!
Om succesvol samen te kunnen spelen via internet begruiken we 2 programma’s:
- Zoom – dit gebruiken we voor het beeld, de video.
- Jamulus – dit gebruiken we voor het geluid, de audio.
Op deze pagina vindt u een handleiding die ik schreef voor de installatie en het instellen van deze 2 programma’s.
Let op: Er is een aparte handleiding voor Windows en een aparte handleiding voor MacOS.
Verder kun je via deze pagina de installatieprogramma’s downloaden die nodig zijn om Jamulus en ASIO4ALL te installeren.
Dit is Open Source software die je ook kunt downloaden van www.jamulus.io en www.asio4all.org.

Among other things, this makes it possible to emulate a typical Windows application that opens an audio device in shared mode. This means other applications can use the same audio devices at the same time, with the Windows audio engine mixing the various audio streams. Other universal ASIO drivers do not offer this functionality as they always open audio devices in exclusive mode.

FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/30
[Wayback/Archive] FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞 werd in 2024 gelanceerd vlak voor de Women’s History Month en Internationale Vrouwendag door Felienne Hermans.
Felienne is bekend van bijvoorbeeld haar promotieonderzoek naar de impact van Excel op de samenleving, maar vooral van haar drive te onderzoeken hoe zo veel mogelijk mensen – ongeacht hun achtergrond – kunnen leren programmeren), Joy of Coding, de Hedy programmeertaal (met veel support voor andere alfabetten dan wat we in de westerse wereld gebruiken) en haar boek The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition.
Ze is enorm goed in haar werk, en komt daarmee regelmatig in aanraking met vooringenomenheid over vrouwen. Daar verbaast ze zich terecht over, en ook dat het lastig om content (op allerlei soorten gebieden) te consumeren gemaakt door vrouwen. Dat overkwam haar bijvoorbeeld bij het luisteren naar muziek op de Nederlandse radio: daar kwamen veel meer mannelijke artiesten aan bod dan vrouwelijke.
Vandaar FemFM, en Felienne zou Felienne niet zijn als de source code niet openbaar was, dus hier wat linkjes:

Looking for maintainer(s) for fritzcap (Python project that captures calls from a Fritz!Box)
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/12
Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
History
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

ardour – the digital audio workstation: Record, Edit, and Mix on Linux, macOS and Windows
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/17
Given that Audacity became toxic last year, and I should have recovered enough to be both working again and having energy to do audio processing, I should install [Wayback] ardour – the digital audio workstation
[Wayback/Archive.is] Ardour repositories:
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Ardour/ardour: Mirror of Ardour Source Code
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Ardour/manual: Mirror of the Ardour manual
Via: [Wayback] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Ardoer… “ (in response to Bye, bye Audacity)

console convert pcap to wav: not easily possible; use the WireShark GUI to do
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/01
Wanting a simple way on the console to convert a .pcap file to a .wav file, I searched for [Wayback] console convert pcap to wav – Google Search.
The reason is that [Wayback] fritzcap (written in Python) sometimes crashes while doing the conversion of a phone recording, so then only the .pcap file is available. I still want to figure this out, but given my health situation, I might not be able to in time.

Tools I use for audio/video downloading, media conversion and audio editing
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/03
A friend asked me what tools I use for downloading media, converting it to various formats (including audio extraction) and audio editing.
It is a surprisingly short list:
- [WayBack] youtube-dl for downloading
- [WayBack] ffmpeg Documentation for conversion
- [WayBack] ffprobe Documentation for investigation
- [WayBack] GitHub – mps-youtube/mps-youtube: Terminal based YouTube player and downloader
Most of it runs out of the box on Mac OS X/MacOS/OS X, as I’ve moved there form Windows for most of my day to day access to systems (there is a great set of Microsoft Remote Desktop in the app store: [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 on the Mac App Store and [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store; I like the first one better).
