Re: questions about Resample DSP

And so it is available under

DSP Effects > Add > Add DSP Effect > Resample

and not merely as a one-click-box for every format


Now I see it, thank you

Re: questions about Resample DSP

Are you using R17 ? it is in the list of DSP effects, either in Music Converter or on the DSP tab in CD Ripper.

Re: questions about Resample DSP

But how / where?

I cannot find it

Re: questions about Resample DSP

Use the DSP effect resample and set it to 44.1KHz

Is it possible, now after many updates of the software, to somehow set this within the GUI options?

I need to have in my shell menu entries that will convert audio files to WAVs and other audio formats that will have always 44 kHz - I do not want them to inherit kHz resolution of the source material

Re: questions about Resample DSP

Hi...How are you calculating the expected number of samples per block? Filters and interpolators used in resampling will ring producing more samples. These extra tailing samples need to overlap adjacent blocks. Maybe you already know this, but without seeing the code, or even what kind of upsampling, downsampling and interpolation procedures you're using, it's hard to know where the problem is.

Re: questions about Resample DSP

I have tried your command line and it works fine with R16, it must have been an issue resolved over the many years (your version is 7 years old).

Re: questions about Resample DSP

You would have to enable debug log to see what it says, run dBpoweramp configuration.

Re: questions about Resample DSP

Thank you for the fast reply. For the scenario *2 above, if I use this command line syntax

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\coreconverter.exe" -infile=%%A -outfile="M:\DJ\jDJproj\Trax\2B-Warped\%%~nA.aiff" -dspeffect1="Resample=-fmin={qt}44100{qt} -fmax={qt}44100{qt}" -convert_to="AIFF"

it outputs the following

The input file is 16/48. Curious why this is failing.

Re: questions about Resample DSP

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Not possible.

[JayNYC]

If used from the command line...

1. is Resample the latest-greatest DBpoweramp sample rate conversion engine, the one which features so well on the famous Infinite Waves SRC comparison site?

2. Can I set both the Min and Max for Resample to 44100, so that if any file other than a 44.1 file is input, it will get converted to 44.1, and if 44.1 is input, Resample processing is skipped?

3. Can I set Resample to output 24 bit instead of 16 bit if (and only if) it processed a file other than 44.1? In other words, if a 16/44.1 file is input, the output file be 16/44.1 ; but if a 16/48 file is input, the output file will be 24/44.1 ?

thanks
