HushMic
Screenshot of

HushMic runs DPDFNet deep-learning noise suppression on your microphone and exposes the cleaned audio as a virtual PipeWire microphone, so any call or recording app can simply select it. Keyboard clatter, fans and street noise are removed while your voice stays natural.

Processing is local and CPU-only: audio never leaves the machine and no network connection is ever made. A tray menu switches models, picks the microphone and sets the suppression strength, and the built-in A/B test window shows your raw and cleaned signal side by side so you can hear and see the difference before a call.

IrScrutinizer
Screenshot of

IrScrutinizer is a powerful program for capturing, generating, analyzing, importing, and exporting of infrared (IR) signals. For capturing and sending IR signals several different hardware sensors and senders are supported. IR Signals can be imported not only by capturing from one of the supported hardware sensors (among others: IrWidget, Global Caché, and Arduino), but also from a number of different file formats (among others: LIRC, Wave, Pronto Classic and professional, RMDU (partially), and different text based formats; not only from files, but also from the clipboard, from URLs, and from file hierarchies), as well as the Internet IR Databases by Global Caché and by IRDB. Imported signals can be decoded, analyzed, edited, and plotted. A collection of IR signal can thus be assembled and edited, and finally exported in one of the many supported formats. In addition, the program contains the powerful IrpMaster IR-renderer, which means that almost all IR protocols known to the Internet community can be generated.

Syncplay
Screenshot of

Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time. This means that when one person pauses/unpauses playback or seeks (jumps position) within their media player then this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server and in the same 'room' (viewing session). When a new person joins they will also be synchronised. Syncplay also includes text-based chat so you can discuss a video as you watch it (or you could use third-party Voice over IP software to talk over a video).

jsBudbrainCompressor
Screenshot of

Music, videos, games, calls in the browser — everything your computer plays runs through two glowing dual-triode tubes and a studio compressor. The tubes add warmth and rich harmonics, the compressor brings everything together and gives it punch.

The tube stage is a real circuit simulation in 64-bit: two triode stages with their resistors and capacitors, calculated sample by sample at four times the sample rate. Turn up the drive and you hear — and see — the tubes work harder: they glow brighter the more they are driven.

Two VU meters with real needle movement show the input, the output or the gain reduction. Pick one of the ready-made settings or build your own and save it under a name.

  • Tube preamp with drive, bias and fat
  • Tone controls: bass, mid, treble and presence
  • Blend the tube sound with the original
  • Compressor with threshold, ratio, attack, release, knee, make-up and mix
  • Live compressor curve and gain-reduction meter
  • Two VU meters for input, output or gain reduction
  • Built-in limiter protects your ears and speakers
  • Works together with jsBudbrainEqualizer and jsBudbrainsFxStudio
  • Ready-made settings and your own, saved under a name
  • Mute button for when the phone rings
  • Choose which speakers or headphones to use
  • Small window that stays on top
  • Starts when you log in, if you like
  • Light and dark design
  • Available in 44 languages

jsBudbrainEqualizer
Screenshot of

Music, videos, games, calls in the browser — everything your computer plays goes through ten sliders, and above them a colourful display shows what you are hearing right now.

Pick one of the ready-made sound settings or shape your own and save it under a name. One click switches the equalizer off, and the sound goes straight to your speakers again.

Make it as big as you like, fold the sliders away, or keep a small window on top while you work.

  • Ten sliders from deep bass to bright treble
  • Live display of what is playing, left, right or both
  • Ready-made sound settings and your own, saved under a name
  • Sliders glide smoothly into place when you switch

jsBudbrainLimiter
Screenshot of

Music, videos, games, calls in the browser — everything your computer plays runs through a precise limiter. Raise the level as far as you like: the ceiling you set is never crossed, not even for the briefest peak.

Each channel has its own gain, ceiling, attack, release, knee, sidechain high-pass and mix, with a bypass of its own. Couple left and right to turn both at once, or set them apart.

Two spectrum displays show for each channel what goes in, what comes out, what was raised and what the limiter took away — band by band. Level meters, gain-reduction history and peak readouts complete the picture.

  • Look-ahead limiter per channel, left and right
  • Gain, ceiling, attack, release, knee, sidechain high-pass and mix
  • True peak: catches even the briefest peaks
  • Stereo link and coupled or separate channel controls
  • Output fader with level meters for both channels
  • Two spectrum displays: input, output, raised and limited
  • Gain-reduction history and peak readouts
  • Works together with jsBudbrainCompressor, jsBudbrainEqualizer and jsBudbrainsFxStudio
  • Ready-made settings and your own, saved under a name
  • Mute button for when the phone rings
  • Choose which speakers or headphones to use
  • Small window that stays on top
  • Starts when you log in, if you like
  • Light and dark design
  • Available in 44 languages

jsBudbrainPlayer
Screenshot of

You point it at a folder, and it finds the recordings in there and plays them — endlessly, without you having to keep a playlist. The folder may sit on a network drive; when new recordings arrive, it picks them up by itself.

You can set a time range: only between two times of day, only on certain weekdays. If you want, the same range also decides which recordings qualify at all — then it plays only what was recorded during the day, for example.

If the recordings differ in loudness, it evens them out, and a meter shows you how loud it really is while it plays.

  • Plays recordings from a folder, including a network drive
  • At random or in order
  • Endlessly or once through
  • Only between two times of day
  • Only on the weekdays you tick
  • Optionally only recordings from that same range
  • Reads the recording time from the file name
  • Evens out recordings of different loudness
  • Shows the output level for both channels
  • Starts when you log in and carries on by itself
  • Light and dark design

jsBudbrainSoundEditor
Screenshot of

A sound editor for your recordings and your music: cut, copy and paste with the waveform in view, zoom in down to a single sample, set markers and play just the part between two of them. Every step can be undone, and long files stay in memory as long as there is room.

Clean up and polish: normalize to a peak or a loudness target, fade in and out, remove background noise with a noise profile, find the tempo and the bass drum, and change the tempo with or without changing the pitch. The effects of the Budbrain sound apps are built in — equalizer, tube and compressor, limiter and FX studio — each with live preview.

Opens and saves WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and Opus. Opens MP3, and saves MP3 when the MP3 encoder of the system is installed.

  • Cut, copy, paste, mix in, delete and trim
  • Zoom with the mouse wheel down to single samples
  • Markers: set, name, play or select between them
  • Undo without a fixed limit
  • Several files in tabs, and the last session comes back
  • Normalize to a peak or to loudness (LUFS), fade, reverse, invert, remove DC offset, change the sample rate
  • Noise removal with a noise profile and live preview
  • Tempo detection (BPM) with bass drum, beat grid and snapping
  • Change the tempo: keep the pitch, or like a turntable
  • Equalizer, tube and compressor, limiter and FX studio with live preview
  • Record from any input, choose the output
  • Level meters, statistics and loudness measurement
  • Light and dark design
  • Available in 47 languages

jsBudbrainsFxStudio
Screenshot of

Music, videos, games, calls in the browser — everything your computer plays runs through a small mixing desk of live effects. Turn up the reverb of a concert hall, add an echo from the mountains, raise or lower the pitch, or sweep a filter, a chorus, a flanger or a phaser across it.

Every effect has its own channel with two knobs and a mix fader that blends it into the sound. A master fader sets how much of all effects goes into the main mix. Above the desk, a live waveform and level meters show what you are hearing right now.

Pick one of the ready-made settings or build your own and save it under a name. One click switches the effects off, and the sound goes straight to your speakers again.

  • Eight effects: pitch, filter, drive, chorus, flanger, phaser, echo, reverb
  • Every effect with its own knobs and mix fader
  • Master fader for the share of effects in the main mix, plus output and stereo width
  • Live waveform and level meters
  • Ready-made settings and your own, saved under a name
  • Faders glide smoothly into place when you switch
  • Built-in limiter protects your ears and speakers
  • Mute button for when the phone rings
  • Choose which speakers or headphones to use
  • Small window that stays on top
  • Starts when you log in, if you like
  • Light and dark design
  • Available in 44 languages

mpz
Screenshot of

A folder player for big local music collections. Instead of indexing every file into a library, mpz treats your files and folders as the library and provides a convenient way to build playlists directly from folders.

The main feature is the three-column UI: a directory tree, the list of playlists, and the tracks of the current playlist — similar to Foobar2000's Album List. Choose library folders, middle-click a folder, and a playlist is created from it.

Also supported: gapless playback, a 10-band and parametric equalizer with AutoEq presets, internet radio, CUE sheets, a tag editor, cover art and lyrics, MPRIS media control, and an experimental MPD client mode.
