Yep, I've seen this link. But this basically means it has to be compiled with SoX, and then this algorithm has to be specifically invoked, right. But by default it uses its own, I guess. So it still leaves us with a choice - which algo to use? David makes a good point from a maintenance POV, I

The good news is that ffmpeg appears to include the soxr algorithm anyway. On Thu, May 23, 2019 at 7:58 AM Louigi Verona wrote: > "In terms of quality for resampling, this is the canonical information > source: http://src.infinitewave.ca/; > > Yep, was looking at that. But would appreciate any

"In terms of quality for resampling, this is the canonical information source: http://src.infinitewave.ca/; Yep, was looking at that. But would appreciate any additional insight, since I am not entirely sure how to read that. For instance, if I compare SoX to FFmpeg, yes, SoX looks way better in

Hey everyone! I need advice on resampling. To give you context, I am working at SoundCloud, and one of the current projects is to refactor the transcoding pipeline. And proper resampling tools is a question that keeps coming up. One of the pipelines takes the uploaded file and transcodes it
