Hello --
I have an issue where I'm converting from MP3 to Wav, running through ST, and converting back to MP3.
Using the pipe commands, lame, as the example on the website shows, I have this working perfectly, but now, suddenly, something is going wrong.
Here's a screenshot (ascii)
D:\Library\Temp>C:\temp\stereo_tool_cmd.exe "902112.wav" TMP.WAV

Converting 902112.wav to TMP.WAV
using settings from C:\Users\a952\dsp_stereo_tool.ini
Encountered RIFF/WAVE header "fmt ", copying 16 bytes
Encountered RIFF/WAVE header "data", processing 36732860 bytes
DELAY: 8192 samples (4096 stereo samples)
35871K bnd1 bnd2 bnd3 bnd4 bnd5 bnd6 bnd7 bnd8 bnd9 bnd0 input output
7936K ████ ████ ███─ ███─ ███─ ██── ██── ███─ ██── ██── ████▄── ███████
And it exits there. I've tried echoing errorcode, and it's 0.
This seems to come and go, I've tried the one line command (with piping via stdin/out), and ST chokes at about the same point continually. I've even broken my convert script down to discreet files, and lame --decode is working, but ST seems to be the one that cuts out.
I've tried:
- Different MP3/WAV files
- Different .sts files, including ones that have worked perfectly before, and just going to a built-in preset, saving that as a new .sts file
- Disabling multicore in the settings.
- Lame version hasn't changed (it's 3.99.4 for Win/64bit)
- Playing through Winamp (dsp), also ver 6.21 has no issues.
Here are my settings below:
