Ardour & Audio Plugins

Calf Sidechain Compressor

When trying to use the plugin Calf Sidechain Compressor (LV2) in Ardour, it crashes and doesn't work.

After searching about it, the solution was removing calf-ladspa package from Ubuntu 18.04

sudo apt purge calf-ladspa

After that it worked as expected.

LSP Plugins:

Sidechain Compressor (LV2) and more...

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lsp-plugins/

TIP:

It is possible to adjust and save a preset in Ardour, then get the parameters from the saved presets.
The presets are saved under ~/.lv2/ folder. Open a preset with a text editor and see the values you can use in ffmpeg:

cat ~/.lv2/Calf_Gate_preset1.lv2/preset1.ttl

Using LV2 and LADSPA Plugins with FFMPEG

Tested with:

  • Ubuntu 19.10
  • ffmpeg 4.1.4

LV2 plugins with ffmpeg

List installed lv2 plugins:

lv2ls

Get info about an installed plugin. get parameters...

lv2info https://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser

or print plugin control parameters and ranges by ffmpeg (notice: c=help):

ffmpeg -i in.mp3 -af lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Compressor:c=help test.mp3

Using lv2 plugin with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i 'test.mp3' -af "lv2=p=https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser" -ac 1 test.ogg

Using multiple lv2 plugins with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -y -i noisy-record.mp3 -af "lv2=p=https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser, lv2=p=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Gate:c=threshold=0.04010706|knee=8|range=0.03148599, lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Compressor:c=knee=8|threshold=0.125, lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Limiter:c=level_out=0.71697748|limit=0.62763602" -q:a 5 -vbr on -ac 1 - cleaned.mp3

Using lv2 and built-in plugins together with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -y -i "in.mp3" -af "lv2=p=https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser:c=mix=-22, dynaudnorm=f=500:g=31:p=0.95:s=20, lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Limiter:c=level_out=0.71697748|limit=0.62763602" -q:a 5 -ac 1 test21.mp3

Process multiple audio using some plugins with ffmpeg:

find "audio/" -iname "*.mp3" | xargs -I {} ffmpeg -y -i "{}" -af "lv2=p=https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser:c=mix=-22, dynaudnorm=f=500:g=31:p=0.95:s=20, lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Limiter:c=level_out=0.71697748|limit=0.62763602" -q:a 5 -ac 1 "{}.mp3"

Using LADSPA plugins

Default ladspa path: HOME/.ladspa/lib/, /usr/local/lib/ladspa/, /usr/lib/ladspa/

See available plugins in a file:

ffmpeg -i test.ogg -af ladspa=file=tap_pitch test.mp3

See available parameters for a plugins:

ffmpeg -i test.ogg -af ladspa=file=tap_pitch:p=tap_pitch:c=help test.mp3

MPV and Audio Filters: LV2, LADSPA Plugins

Tested with:

  • Ubuntu 19.10
  • mpv 0.29.1
  • ffmpeg 4.1.4

List available plugins in MPV

mpv -af=help

See available parameters in a plugin (for example agate):

mpv --af=agate=help

Using a plugin with mpv

  • mpv --af="lavfi=[agate=range=0.066:threshold=0.15:ratio=3]" test.ogg
  • mpv --af=lavfi='[ladspa=/home/user/.ladspa/rnnoise/librnnoise_ladspa.so:p=noise_suppressor_stereo:c=c0=44]' test.mp3
  • mpv --af=lavfi='[lv2=p=https\\://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent#adaptive-stereo:c=reduction=15|offset=4|smoothing=20]' test.ogg

Using multiple plugins / audio filters at the same time:

  • mpv --af="lavfi=[agate=range=0.066:threshold=0.45:ratio=3],lavfi=[alimiter=10:1:1:5:8000]" test.ogg
  • mpv --af='ladspa=/usr/lib/ladspa/tap_pitch.so:tap_pitch:[2.1,1.5,3]' --af-add='pan="mono|c0=c0"' test.ogg

TIP: Switch Between Audio Filters While MPV Playing

It is also possible to change audio filters in mpv on fly by assigning a hotkey in ~/.config/mpv/input.conf

Using Mixed Multiple Plugins with MPV

I don't know why all the LV2 plugins doesn't work with MPV. For example these didn't work:

  • mpv --af "lavfi=[aformat=channel_layouts=stereo],lv2=[https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser:c=mix=-22] " test.mp3 #DOESN'T WORK
  • mpv --af "lv2=[https\\\\://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser:c=mix=-22] " "$f" #DOESN'T WORK
  • mpv --af "lv2=[https://github.com/lucianodato/speech-denoiser] " "$f" #DOESN'T WORK

The error message is similar to this one:

[ffmpeg] auto_resampler_0: Cannot select channel layout for the link between filters auto_resampler_0 and mpv_sink_out0.
[ffmpeg] auto_resampler_0: Unknown channel layouts not supported, try specifying a channel layout using 'aformat=channel_layouts=something'.
[lavfi] failed to configure the filter graph
Disabling filter lavfi.00 because it has failed.
[ao/pulse] The stream is suspended. Bailing out.

But the following works:

  • mpv --af=lavfi="[lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Compressor:c=threshold=0.125|ratio=2.0]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/VintageDelay],lavfi=[lv2=http\\\\://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/HaasEnhancer:c=s_delay1=7.4]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lavfi=[aformat=channel_layouts=stereo],lv2=[urn:ardour:a-reverb]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lavfi=[aformat=channel_layouts=stereo],lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/VintageDelay],lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/HaasEnhancer]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/VintageDelay],lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/HaasEnhancer]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lv2=[http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/VintageDelay],lavfi=[aformat=channel_layouts=stereo],lv2=[urn:ardour:a-reverb]" test.mp3
  • mpv -af "lavfi=[aformat=channel_layouts=stereo],ladspa=/usr/lib/ladspa/tap_pitch.so:tap_pitch:[2.1,1.5]" test.mp3


ERRORS:

mpv --af="lavfi=[lv2=p=https://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent:c=adaptive_noise_learn=1|noise_learn=1]" test.mp3

error: attempt to map invalid URI `https'

SOLUTION:

  • mpv --af="lavfi=[lv2=p='https\\://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent':c=adaptive_noise_learn=1|noise_learn=1]" test.mp3
  • mpv --af=lavfi='[lv2=p=https\\://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent-stereo#new]' test.mp3
