    dMCScripting and DSP effects

    Hello,
    I am wondering how I can use DSP effects in a C#/.NET program. Should I add some options to the CompressionCLI string needed by the Convert function or is there another way to do the trick ?

    I seem to remember seeing this in another thread a while back- and I think it isn't possible, which is a real shame. The good thing about r11 was that when you started a scripted conversion, the dialogue gave you the option to add DSP effects at that point manually... is there a way round this, spoon?

      Having said that, the scripting page of the support section says:

      "DSP effects can also be activated, pass them in CompressionCLI, see command line documentation."

      Where is this info? I can't seem to find it in any of the docs...

        Well, I tried my best:

        Code:
        Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")
        Dim CompressionCLI
        CompressionCLI = "-b 64 -channels=""joint stereo"" -dspeffect1=""Grabber=-lengthms={qt}60000{qt} -position={qt}30000{qt}"""
        CompressionCLI = dMC.ShowSettings("mp3 (Lame)", CompressionCLI)
        Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        
        Call dMC.Convert("C:\Source\sourcefile.flac", "C:\Destination\testdsp.mp3", "mp3 (Lame)", CompressionCLI, "C:\encodingerrors.txt")
        Call WshShell.Popup("Done.")
        ...doesn't work. It encodes, but no dsp inclusion.

        Ever get the feeling everyone else has been destroyed by a tidal wave and you're the only one left chatting to yourself about scripting dmc in spoon's forum? No? Hello? Anybody? :cry:

          Your code is almost right, just that by calling dMC.ShowSettings after adding the DSP commandline is removing the DSP commandline.

            Wicked! That works a treat now:

            Code:
            Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")
            Dim CompressionCLI
            CompressionCLI = "-b 64 -channels=""joint stereo"" -dspeffect1=""Grabber=-lengthms={qt}60000{qt} -position={qt}30000{qt}"""
            Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
            
            Call dMC.Convert("C:\Source\sourcefile.flac", "C:\Destination\testdsp.mp3", "mp3 (Lame)", CompressionCLI, "C:\encodingerrors.txt")
            Call WshShell.Popup("Done.")
            Cheers Spoon!

                Re: dMCScripting and DSP effects

                It works like a charm
                But now I have two other questions (and I don't want to open a new thread):
                - Is there a way to control how dbpoweramp uses multi-core processors ?
                - Can we retrieve the status of a conversion (e.g. "50% done", or "Finished") ? And if so, how ?

                  What do you mean how dMc uses a multi-core processor? Currently, dMC encodes one file per core. I believe the only way to change this is to totally disable multi-core support and only use one core. This can be done only through the Multi-Encoder or the r2 version of the CLI encoder.

                    Through scripting it will take any free cpu time, if you have 2 processors then have 2 scripting objects.

                    No way of getting the % compelete through scripting.

                        Hi again everyone,
                        I have other (noob) questions about dMCScripting :
                        - Is there a way to know that a conversion is finished ?
                        - Is there another way than checking the log created by the Convert method to retrieve potential errors during conversions ?

                          When the conversion finishes your call to .convert returns.
