Show HN: Audio plugin for circuit-bent MP3 compression sounds https://ift.tt/3ZAo0Gf

Show HN: Audio plugin for circuit-bent MP3 compression sounds I made MAIM, an open-source audio plugin that uses real MP3 encoders to distort the sound. I've also added knobs that let you "circuit bend" the encoders, changing parameters that would normally be inaccessible to the user to get strange glitchy sounds. The plugin lets you switch between two MP3 encoders, since under the MP3 standard, the specifics of what to lose in MP3 lossy compression is left up to the encoder. The encoders are LAME, the gold standard for open-source MP3 encoders, and BladeEnc, an old open-source MP3 encoder that has a really bubbly sound and was fun to work with. I'd love any feedback, and I'll be around to answer questions! https://ift.tt/3eswfbk December 3, 2023 at 11:31PM
