Music Media Helper (Tools for Multichannel Audio & Music Videos)

[mito0]

HomerJAU, this program looks amazing, and I hope to experiment with it further, but I'm trying to remix using the "user defined" settings, and the window which opens cuts off most of the work area, and I'm unable to make the window larger by maximizing or click-and-drag. I've tried reinstalling .NET Framework 4.8, and reinstalling Music Media Helper, with no improvement. Any ideas?

 

[HomerJAU]

Thanks For reporting this. I recently updated the 3rd Party User Interface controls. Looks like a bug.

The view should be landscape not portrait, I‘ll check it on this morning and provide an update in next hour or so.

 

[HomerJAU]

@mito0 Looks Ok on my PC.

Tell me about your PC. Windows version? Do you have any text scaling setup for your monitor?

 

[HomerJAU]

Ok found the Issue. You have your Windows Display Scale set to 150%.

I have just fixed that dialog by setting Autoscale by DPI which fixes the problem. This fix will be in the next official release for all users.

In the mean time you can go to Windows Settings, System, Display and set your Layout & Scaling to 100% while using the MMH User Defined Remix dialog.

If you can't set Scaling to 100% let me know and I can send you a beta release fix immediately.

 

[mito0]

Hey HomerJAU, you were absolutely correct. The 100% scaling fixed it. Thanks!
On a semi-related note, is it possible to export a multi-channel wav file directly to flac with the remix tool?

On a semi-related note, is it possible to export a multi-channel wav file directly to flac with the remix tool?

There’s no tool to convert wav to FLAC in MMH. Foobar2000 can do it.

(maybe I should add a MCH wav to FLAC converter?)

Go on, MMH is the musical equivalent of the Swiss Army knife, does everything in one easy package

 

[HomerJAU]

Go on,

Ok, will do Duncs.

I started first steps of getting a MAC OS version of Music Media Helper going this week. I’m staring with just a couple of tools: ‘Extract Audio from MKV’ will be the first, it will include the MusicBrainz tagging feature.

Bit of a learning curve but so far ok. I’ve converted a bit of core functionality (on my Windows dev PC) and now need to do some work on a MAC (my daughter’s old MacBook Pro she used at uni).

A full version of MAC MMH won’t be released until end of year, but I may have a cut down version contains limited features much sooner, depending on how it all comes together.

I'd be happy to beta test any Mac version (I retire in 6 weeks and am a registered Apple developer)

Thanks, John

Hi HomerJAU,
Many thanks for your MMH.
I can't get the channel delay to work correctly.
Can you help please.

 

[HomerJAU]

I can't get the channel delay to work correctly.
Can you help please.

Fixed in latest version just published.

The issue was due to MMH not using the correct local culture decimal point as a comma.
