foo_dsp_vlevel

This project implements VLevel for the foobar2000 media player.

VLevel is a dynamic range compressor, which can help amplify the quiet parts of music. It was developed by Tom Felker at http://vlevel.sf.net/.

This repository provides more up-to-date builds (including 64-bit support) for the VLevel plugin.

Building

1. Download the foobar2000 SDK from https://www.foobar2000.org/SDK.

2. Copy the contents of the downloaded archive to this repository.

   The location of foobar2000/foo_dsp_vlevel should replace foobar2000/foo_sample provided by the SDK. Keep other parts of the SDK's directory similar to the project.

   Basically, the resulting project should look something like:

   # Project files
   /.editorconfig
   /.gitignore
   /foobar2000/foo_dsp_vlevel/
   
   # SDK files
   /sdk-license.txt
   /sdk-readme.html
   /libPPUI/
   /pfc/
   /foobar2000/foo_input_validator/
   /foobar2000/foobar2000_component_client/
   /foobar2000/helpers/
   /foobar2000/SDK/
   /foobar2000/shared/

3. Open the solution file at foobar2000/foo_dsp_vlevel/foo_dsp_vlevel.sln with Visual Studio.

4. Add the WTL library to these projects (via NuGet package manager):

   • foo_dsp_vlevel (should already be added)
   • foobar2000_sdk_helper
   • libPPUI

5. Build the solution.

Note: The current archive is created manually for now so there's no script. Just create a zip archive with the following structure:

foo_dsp_vlevel.dll     - 32-bit DLL
x64/foo_dsp_vlevel.dll - 64-bit DLL

and rename the extension from .zip to .fb2k-component.

  • I'll put binary later.

• Sun May 30 2004 wore [e-mail] 20040530.3

  • I've fprintf debug to find why Access violation occured. Normally, on_chunk is called with 1024 samples. But, when fb2k crash, on_chunk is called with more than 88200 samples. Buffers allocated only 44100 or 48000 samples.
  • To fix this bug, I allocate buffer for 5 seconds. But it is not good way. I'd like to rewrite on_chunk till this weekend.
