#whipper — Public Fediverse posts

Made a wrapper script for flac(1) because you can't configure defaults (e.g. "use compression level 8 if none is given on the command line, not the hard-coded default of 5") and whipper (the CD ripper I'm using) doesn't let you choose a level or customize the flac command line either.

This is stupid, but at least it's possible to work around it.

Edit: This is now a blog post:

Sooo… Ended up back at Watchhouse slab with top geezers @Jeremy & @Robin. Inevitably, I introduced Jeremy to "Anonymous Bosch". For anyone following along, you'll remember it spat me off at the crux last time before I worked out how to do it, so I was after sendgeance. Unfortunately, my memory was kinda faulty so I well messed up the crux first go following Jeremy's beta instead of my own. On the up-side, my mojo was stronger this time, as was my shoulder, so things were looking up for the second try of the day once the brain had been jogged. Great route, fun moves and good catches from Jeremy.

It wasn't all sunshine and sends in Nice... There was quite a lot of rain and whips too. The one had something to do with the other because damp limestone can be a little slick, though the reasons also included grade sandbagging, fatigue and just plain sucking. Anyway, I thought I'd post a little compilation of Nice whips because who doesn't like a bit of schadenfreude?
Thanks to Roy and particularly Alesia for not dropping me!

Prueba superada. He volcado (ripeado) el mismo #CD con #cyanrip y me ha sacado un #FLAC con idéntico sonido.

Para verificarlo he importado ambos FLAC en #Audacity, uno de ellos lo he invertido (en catalán, «capgirat», el efecto «inverteix» cambia el orden temporal de las muestras, no su amplitud). Después mezclar y renderizar en una pista nueva. El resultado tenía que ser silencio y silencio es lo que se obtiene.

Audio CD ripping - optical drive accuracy listing. https://pilabor.com/blog/2022/10/audio-cd-ripping-hardware/

I tend to keep my audio local. Therefore, I need an accurate ripping device for my audio #CD collection. Recently I found a neat listing in the #dbPowerAmp forum, but I added some information as well as ways to filter and sort. Have fun!

Another from the "trying hard at White Spider Climbing" series... New comp wall set has lots of goodies to play with and some actually friendly grades for a change! This one's definitely easier than my other project, but equally entertaining, if only for the good air at the end! Thanks to Jon Koplin for the catch and encouragement.
