Pretty much totally rewritten from the ground up, following the nomenclature of the ISO standard. + <LI> Uses arrays for keeping tone/noise labels rather than the really + hard to grok pointer-stuff from the dist10 code. + <LI> Uses Painter + Spanias' Formula for the ATH rather than the tables from the standard. + <LI> Uses LAME's freq-to-bark conversion to construct the critical bands. + <LI> Future: Needs a proper geometric mean for weighting the noise. Needs one more function added to the decimation routines which would eliminate maskers within 0.5 dB of each other. + <LI> Eliminated all the ISO/dist10 tables. Everything is from equations or built from scratch. + </ul> + <LI> <b>Psychoacoustic Model 4</b> + <UL> + <LI> A reimplementation of psychoacoustic model 2. + <LI> Eliminated all the ISO/dist10 tables. Everything (ath, bark, critical bands) is from equations or built from scratch + <LI> FUTURE: For psycho model 2 and 4 there's some really bad "warbling" and "Davros" type noise. Depending on the loudness of your sound sample, this can get really annoying. I don't know where it's coming from. + </ul> + <LI> <b>Psychoacoustic Model 0</b> + <UL> + <LI> This model uses the ATH and the scalefactors for each subband to build an approximate SMR for each subband at nearly zero cost. + <LI> Based upon an idea mentioned in "Low power mpeg/audio encoders using simplified psychoacoustic model and fast bit allocation" by Hyen-O Oh et al. + <LI> For the amount of effort that this psycho model puts in, the results are pretty good. + <LI> Future: Add some parameters to the equation to allow it to be tweaked on the fly. + </UL> + <LI> <b>Psychoacoustic Model -1</b> + <UL> + <LI> This is the old "fast" psychoacoustic model ("-f"). + <LI> All it does is copy over a static set of pre-calculated SMR values + <LI> Sounds OK for most stuff. + </UL> +</UL> +<LI> <b>New bitstream encoding routines (encode_new.c)</b> +<UL> + <LI> All the old tables.c/alloc_table stuff is now superfluous. + <LI> All tables are now at the top of encode_new.c + <LI> The tables have quite a bit of indirection to get to the value that you need (but really not any more indirection than the old alloc_table stuff). Probably need to add some more docs to say what's going on. + <LI> These new routines are the default, but you can remove the "NEWENCODE" definition and use the old ones (just in case). + <LI> The new routines will become the default in the next release. +</UL> +<LI> <b>More speed</b> +<UL> +<LI> All the trig stuff for psychomodel 4 is now done with tables instead of calculating exact values. +<LI> The <i>exact</i> trig values aren't really used directly in the encoder. They're sort of averaged over a couple of iterations and used as a predictor of uncertainty. So being off a few thousandths won't really affect anything. +</UL> +</UL> +<HL> +<h1>TooLAME 02k - 16 February 2003</h1> +<UL> +<LI> Some great speedups with a combined filtersubband and windowsubband (Ricardo Schelp ricardoschelp at arnet.com.ar) +<LI> Cleaned up the psycho model calling (should be easier to add your own psycho +model if you felt like having a hack) +<LI> DAB Extensions are now of variable length controlled by an argument to the -D switch + (Nicolas Croiset - ncroiset at vdl.fr) +<LI> Fixed raw PCM reading to no longer miss the first 40 bytes. (MFC) +<LI> No longer a 4GB limit when reading from stdin (or if your filesys supports) (Nicolas) +<LI> Tweaks to the end of the bitstream to allow concatentation of mp2 files (Nicolas) +<LI> Finally (?) fixed the segfaults using psy model 1 (Nicolas et al) +</ul> +<HL> +<h1>TooLAME 02j - 12 Feb 2003</h1> +<UL> +<LI>Definitely LGPL now. + +<LI>encode.c - VBR mode has been stabilised to work correctly for all sampling frequencies (<a href="vbr.html">README.VBR</a> has more details) + +<LI>get_audio.c has become audio_read.c - cleaned up that really dodgy wave header parsing. +(thanks to Philippe Jouguet - philippe.jouguet at vdl.fr and Henrik Herranen - leopold at vlsi.fi) + +<LI>spelling fix for 'extension' - Philippe again + +<LI>psycho_I.c - Speedup for "% 1408" calcs "-DSAMI_P1" sami.sallinen at g-cluster.com + (about 4% overall speedup for me) + +<LI>subband.c - Pointer arithmetic for filter subband "-DSAMI_SB" (sami again) + (doesn't give any advantage over gcc3.2 on my system) + +<LI>psycho_II.c +<UL> + <LI> enabled the use of gcc's _sincos().
