A DIY Covox Speech Thing clone designed for practice in PCB design and soldering. The project features adjustable low-pass filtering via switches, parallel port connectivity, and two board variants with flexible component values for audio output customization.
Lacquer is an iOS app that detects fake lossless audio files by analyzing the actual audio content rather than file metadata, using FFT analysis to identify upscaled or re-encoded files. It offers on-device processing with no uploads or accounts required, displaying spectral evidence for its verdicts, and functions as a full lossless audio player supporting FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, and m4a formats.
A developer integrated NAM A2-Lite, a compact neural amp model, directly into an iRig HD X audio interface by repurposing its NXP Cortex-M7 microcontroller. The guitar signal now runs through amp modeling on the device itself at 48 kHz, eliminating the need for external computers while maintaining real-time performance within tight memory and processing constraints.
Musslop is a tool that analyzes MP3 tracks to identify musical structure and creates seamless adaptive loops, allowing users to switch between sections in real-time like game audio engines. Designed for tabletop RPG ambience, it also supports game dev prototyping, streaming, and focus music, with offline AI analysis and export capabilities.
Sony announced two new PS5 Pulse headset models featuring improved sound quality with planar magnetic drivers, enhanced noise rejection for chat, and improved comfort.
