Logger 1.1 Issue

Greetings-

I’m trying Logger 1.1. I’ve chosen WDM, but each time I start to record (manually) I get a Bass error 2. Is this a bug?

Cheers, Alec M

What’s the output format you’re using? MP3? Does it also happen with WAV or Vorbis?

Cheers Torben! No, those record fine. It also happens on “raw pcm.” I’ll use .wav instead.

I assume I’m missing codecs? Also, isn’t .wav an uncompressed format? If so, why would one choose “raw pcm”

Cheers!

In this context, error 2 means “cannot find command line encoder”.

You probably forgot to download lame.exe and copy it into the Audio Logger program folder? I’m not allowed to ship it due to legal issues.

For reference:

MP3 uses lame.exe (not included in the setup).

MP2 uses twolame.exe (not included in the setup).

Ogg Vorbis uses oggenc.exe (included).

WMA and WMAPro use the encoder functions built into Windows/Windows Media Player, no command line encoder required.

WAV 16bit and 32bit are uncompressed and need no command line encoder either.

“Custom” means that you use your own command line encoder for a format that is not supported by default, e.g. AAC or Opus. You have to specify the encoder filename in this case. (For the built-in formats, leve the encoder filename field empty.) Also specify the encoder options accordingly, use $FILENAME as the placeholder for the output filename. You can choose whether to send the PCM data with a WAV header or without (“raw”), as per the requirements of the particular codec.

For example, for AAC you can use the Nero AAC Codec from here: http://www.nero.com/eng/company/about-nero/nero-aac-codec.php

Audio format: Custom (with WAV header)

Encoder filename: (path and name of neroAacEnc.exe)

Encoder options: -ignorelength -br 96 -if - -of “$FILENAME”

(this is for 96kbps)

Cheers Torben!

Yes, I forgot the encoders. I have them installed and all is well. Also, thank you for the extended explanation, which was quite informative… :slight_smile:
