Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 New free real-time plugin for foobar2000 (64bit version) We are happy to announce a 'free as in beer' real-time plugin (foo_pggb_rt) for foobar2000 (64bit version) that will allow you to resample local tracks using the same core engine as PGGB 256, the limitations are that the processing is done only at 64-bit precision, and you cannot save them using 'convert' feature. The plugin was developed in collaboration with Audiowise and licenses PGGB-RT SDK. Guide: foo_pggb_rt - ZB's Guide (remastero.com). FAQ: PGGB-RT - FAQ (remastero.com) Download: foo_pggb_rt - ZB's Guide (remastero.com) There are two processing modes: 'Maximize Quality': will process the whole track but you will incur longer startup delay on the first track but process the whole track in one go just like PGGB 256 would at 64-bit precision. 'Maximize Speed': will process the track in about 23 second chunks (equivalent to 16M taps in terms of length @hanshopf) Features: Just like PGGB 256, the component supports both upsampling and downsampling PCM up to 64fS rates. It supports bit depths between 16 and 64 bits, so should work with most DACs. It also has the same noise shaping and HF filtering options of PGGB 256. EQ is possible too, but EQ filters need to be imported using PGGB 256 app (trial license will work). EQ is still a beta feature. Uses the same algorithms as PGGB 256 for all processing except only 64 bit processing is done due to real-time nature. How does this compare to PGGB 256? PGGB 256 when set at 64 bit precision will match the real-time processing of foo_pggb_rt when set at 'Maximize for accuracy' and all other settings are set the same. But please note that foo_pggb_rt is meant to just provide a glimpse of what PGGB is truly capable of since, PGGB 256 at 128bit or 256 bit precision is still more accurate. kennyb123 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 5 hours ago, taipan254 said: really like the "Maximum Speed" mode simply because it makes your filters more accessible (assuming folks can get through the foobar 64bit installation process!). Humble product roadmap suggestion I think you're likely already working on: I hope the product roadmap includes building a plugin so PGGB-RT can be used with something like Roon and / or Audirvana. I'd love to fully integrate gargle-blasting into my streaming using software I am already familiar with. Ideally your integration into these software platforms will also work with EQ filters! Apologies in advance for the unsolicited advice - again, I think this iteration sounds great! @taipan254Thanks, Roon does not allow plugins but yes, we are thinking of VST/AU plugins that will be easier to use in a wider range of players and DAWs. Fobar2000 is a proof of concept to show that PGGB-RT can be used for real-time resampling. ps: I would like to keep conversations on pggb-rt on this foobar thread. taipan254 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Also note the above is only needed when you set 'Max speed' because PGGB processes the whole track in blocks and if there are inter-sample-overs in a block, then that block may be attenuated. Setting a fixed and slightly small negative gain will instead apply a uniform negative gain for the whole track, which should be low enough to avoid clipping. taipan254 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 8 hours ago, clark8888 said: Now R2R 20bit volume is fine with my AMD cpu. Issue of new version 5.4: eat up 100% 32g memory at quality mode, very hungry. Thus for long time track, sound stucked and windows freezes 'Max speed' is optimized to use very little memory as it does processing in chunks, but 'Max Quality' tries to process the whole track in memory. While 32GB should allow you to process up to 48 minutes, that assumes all of that memory is actually available. In reality, Windows and other processes take up quite a bit. The workaround is typically to increase your virtual memory (preferably 64 - 128GB of an SSD internal drive). Also helps if you can have as few processes as possible (a restart also helps) I have more information on RAM and memory requirements here. Please note, while the information is targeted to PGGB 256 offline resampling, it is equally applicable to your case if you look at 64bit precision. To increase virtual memory, please see here. Max Quality mode works well for shorter tracks (up to 12 minutes or so), for longer tracks if you have enough free memory, it can take a few minutes depending on your processor speed and number of cores. If freezing is an issue, and you do not mind a longer processing time you can also reduce the number of workers. Bottom line, Max Quality takes a finite amount of time as it has to process the whole track in memory, and it also takes resources. This is not a bug, which is why there is an option to use Max Speed. For albums with longer tracks, it may be better to use the 'Convert' option with Max Quality and then play the tracks in real-time.

The bad news: Foobar "locks up" now. My CPU is at 100% (as is RAM utilization). No sound comes out. When using PGGB-RT without EQ setting enabled, i get maybe 90% CPU usage for a few seconds and 1/3 RAM usage before I get (very pleasant) sound. Oh well, no big deal. I'm giving up on EQ for now. If you have any other suggestions I'm all ears! Thanks again. For EQ, PGGB-RT uses 128-bit processing which can be demanding and can take longer to process. What kind of EQ were you trying to do? Did you use the .txt import, if yes how many filters? Also did you try 'Maximize Speed'?

Please grab this version here: 64 bit eq I use 128bit for IIR filters even when 64bit processing is requested to minimize amplitude and phase errors, but if that becomes a problem even in a modest setup like yours, it defeats the purpose of RT. So, I may just use 64 bit processing for EQ in RT. I am confident this will work. taipan254 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment

FYI - I'm using a @mitchco convolution filter (65,536 tap filters). Looking forward to more listening. Thanks ZB - really appreciate your attention to this free product (and me!). You are welcome, thanks for confirming that it works. The RT plugin is our way of giving back to this community. The RT plugin is objectively better than all prior versions of PGGB offline (v1 through v3) and is equivalent to the current version of PGGB-64. Looking forward to your feedback. kennyb123 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 @taipan254 Thanks for the sample and your patience. I found a bug that I did not catch during my listening tests (Most of my testing on Foobar is at 4fS playing to my Lynx Hilo DAC), but it was immediately obvious when playing 16fS to the L2 DAC. Hopefully third time is a charm!

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Since there is a new linear phase option for PGGB EQ, there is another update to PGGB-RT, grab it here. taipan254 1 Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment

I have PGGB-RT working fine with Foobar2000. I downloaded a HD650 txt eq file. I downloaded PGGB-256 trial I loaded the HD650 txt file into the PGGB-256 EQ and turned it on (?) Then went back to PGGB-RT and turned on EQ and it crashes when I play a song. I'm really not clear on what to do after I load the HD650 txt file into PGGB-256. The public component is not updated yet, but please grab the beta version that I shared in my previous post: Author of PGGB & RASA, remastero Update: PGGB Plus (PCM + DSD) Now supports both PCM and DSD, with much improved memory handling New: PGGB-IT! is a new interface for PGGB Plus, supports multi-channel, smaller footprint, more lossless compression options Free: foo_pggb_rt is a free real-time upsampling plugin for foobar2000 64bit; RASA is a free tool to do FFT analysis of audio tracks System: TT7 PGI 240v + Power Base > Paretoaudio Server [SR7T] > Adnaco Fiber [SR5T] >VR L2iSE [QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity PC]> QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation RCA> Omega CAMs, JL Sub, Vox Z-Bass/ /LCD-5/[QSA Silver fuse, QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC] KGSSHV Carbon CC, Audeze CRBN Link to comment

Do I have to run PGGB-256 anymore? No, once it is imported, you are done. You can close it.
