File-Based Audio Done Right at John's

Brilliant - I'm going to play with 32/88.2 upsampling but I don't know if I have anything to decode it yet!

Great result Steve. Happy the 32 bit worked. It has a lot more space and detail and agree results are across the spectrum and its not subtle.
Steve system is very open and transparent.
So far the up scale has improved every file I up scaled

In Steve system the SOX set up you use Martin worked better it gave the results the Audacity set up makes in my system. Cannot figure out why the difference between systems.
To summarize in Steve system the SOX code added more depth in my system the Audacity up scale adds the depth
I think its something how are drivers are working differently and concentrating on different aspects but really guessing

John, could you describe how to process more than one track at a time?

I get back to you at the weekend but pretty sure you can see how to do that on you tube.

Well, I've upsampled a file in SOX to 32/88.2 and, playing back using VLC, it confirms the file format and the Caiman plays it! First impressions are good so I'll listen some more tomorrow and figure out a way of playing the file on my big system (so far, all my trials have been on the PC system).

SOX command to upsample to 32/88.2:

sox.exe -S -G --multi-threaded %1 -b 32 %2 rate -v 88200 dither -S

where %1 is the infile and %2 the outfile (works as a batch file).

Steve the above is worth a try but I do not really understand MS Dos so not really able to help but it probably work better in your system

You think you've got problems John. Valerie's wetting herself, says us two couldn't manage to find a matching pair :lol: ..... :rolleyes:

English not your first language then Martin? ;)

I've got a son who could help though. He speaks Martian :rfl:

Oh dear - level of understanding alert!

Sorry about that, guys, I've selected English again :o

For the hard of learning, why would your direct code method differ to Audacity running SOX engine? You see what I did there, almost sounded like a plausible question!

I did hear a track on my system that you upsampled Martin and it did sound different to John's.
