Audio to Vinyl

Add a vinyl sound to audio files. Currently the program only supports WAV files.

Important

The script will delete any data between the bits_per_sample part of the WAV and the data sub-chunk!

Installation

1. Please compile the program with the make command in the root directory.
2. The program should now be in the build directory with the name output
3. If you want rename and move the program to the desired location to work with it.

Caution

The makefile does not recognize when a header file changed. Just run make clean and then make again in the root folder of this project.

Usage

Tip

The program already has some great default settings which you can change with the flags.

To see the help message run the program with the -h flag.

Usage: Audio to Vinyl [--help] [--version] [--samples VAR] [--bitDepth VAR] [--cracklingNoiseLvl VAR] [--generalNoiseLvl VAR] [--needleDropDuration VAR] [--needleLiftDuration VAR] Sourcepath Outputpath

Positional arguments:
  Sourcepath                  The path to the file(s) you want to convert. [required]
  Outputpath                  The path to the output folder [required]

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help                  shows help message and exits
  -v, --version               prints version information and exits
  -s, --samples               The number of samples you want in 1Hz [nargs=0..1] [default: 48000]
  -bD, --bitDepth             The bit depth you want in 1 Bit [nargs=0..1] [default: 24]
  -cNL, --cracklingNoiseLvl   The amount of crackling noise you want in 0.01% [nargs=0..1] [default: 100]
  -gNL, --generalNoiseLvl     The amount of white noise you want in 0.001% [nargs=0..1] [default: 5]
  -nDD, --needleDropDuration  The duration of the needle sound in 1s (at start of file) [nargs=0..1] [default: 0.8]
  -nLD, --needleLiftDuration  The duration of the needle sound in 1s (at end of file) [nargs=0..1] [default: 1]

The filters.hpp and filters.cpp file could be used as a library. However I would not recommend you doing so as they are not build for that purpose.
