The 'corrector' or 'decoder' works on the digital file.You can also directly play realtime in a system it knows how to interface to, but primarily intended to convert a recording, either in album, track or entire set of directories. Most of the time, for convienence, I use SoX for the file conversions/etc, so it does some nice things making using the decoder a little nicer -- but does add it's own flaws also. For the larger scale operation, a shell script of some kind is currently needed... Some day, there will be a GUI that makes some of the automation easier for people who use computers differently than an engineer or comp-sci person might.
Natively, it only works with .wav files, and prefers 44.1kHz/48k input, but is perfectly happy with any other reasonable standard or nonstandard rate. It accepts 16bit, 24bit and FP inputs.
Output rate is 88.2k for 44.1k inputs, and 96k for 48k inputs -- there is a method to that madness. For input rates above and equal 88.2kHz, the output rate will be the same. For those who like to waste disk space (humor intended), it also supports 352.8kHz/384kHz input/output,
It prefers to output in FP form, but can also do 24bit just as well. 16bit is explicitly not supported for output, in the past it used to be. Since the decoder sort-of adds pseudo-accurate lower 'bits' to the output, it seemed like the 16bit mess for output isn't worth the trouble.
The decoder maintains & modifies when appropriate, most normal metadata along with supporting BEXT metadata, and also supports RF64 for working on full albums, needed especially for FP.
If interested, I'll bring this back up again when something is good enough to demo outside of those who expect imperfection from time to time.
I don't want anyone else to be disappointed by one of my f-ups, so will delay 'bringing this up again' until it is ready for plausibly BETA use.
Just tell me, and I'll support in any way that I can.I don't do the $$$ thing, because that is for people who use the technology and produce a good product form. The project got started to solve a problem, and ended up with a damned good DolbyA decoder along the way also.
Have fun!!! I certainly am...
