Tools

Open-source tools for post-audio.

Each one starts as friction I hit in a session: metadata I couldn't decipher, a library that wouldn't search, a print I had to run again from the top. Repos are listed here once they're public — nothing before, and each one says plainly what state it's in.

Released

Sound-effects filenames arrive in a dozen dialects. This parses, validates, composes and safely renames them against the public Universal Category System, so a library sorts and searches the same way whatever it came from.
