    RM2000 Tape Recorder makes it stupid simple to grab audio samples and organize them: just record the sample, give it a title (and maybe some tags), and it is saved neatly into a directory of your choosing. I'm a huge datahoarder and have always appreciated tools / services like PureRef and Are.na which help me make sense of everything I collect. Those services concern themselves with images and video - I wondered, why can't the same be done with music and audiofiles? I actually got the inspiration for the filenaming scheme from the Emacs Denote package - every sample is saved in the…

    Right, here's the thing: If you are using AirPods(or any Bluetooth headphones with a mic in fact) on Mac and something activates the mic(i.e. you Shazam a song), the sound will be interrupted momentarily and will return in very low quality. This is happening because Bluetooth can't handle both way high quality streaming and the bandwidth is decreased to make it work. It's a known issue and here's what Apple recommends to fix it: https://support.apple.com/en-hk/102217 Most of the time(unless you are on a Mac Mini/Studio/Pro), you have much higher quality…

    Hey HN, I just wanted to show the progress on my little (maybe useless) side project called tone[1] to get some qualified feedback. tone is a cross plattform command line audio tagger deployed as a single static binary without dependencies, so a wget should be enough to install on any platform (seems not to work on M1 Macs atm... if someone can help here I would really appreciate it). Features: - Supports most common formats (mp3, m4a, flac, ape, etc.) - Most common AND custom metadata fields - Chapter support - Embeddable pictures - Hackable (write your own taggers with scripting language)…

    I’ve spent the last seven months building a tool I wish I’d had in my previous roles. MimicScribe is a macOS menu bar app that fits the "AI notetaker" category. It has accurate on-device speaker identification (a first possibly?), real-time meeting talking points for discovery calls, and a fully keyboard- and voice-driven interface. I believe the accuracy of the speaker ID system is its biggest strength. I used fluid audio’s port of (https://github.com/fluidInference/FluidAudio) Pyannote's community-1 as a base. To improve accuracy, the system uses grammar structure cues…
