FAQ

Do the sounds sound good?

Nobody knows yet. No route or recipe has been judged in a listening test. The tool measures faults; it cannot hear. See Routes and synth recipes.

Is a sound with no flags good?

No. A flag means listen, and no flag means only that no measured limit tripped. See Checks and flags.

Does a flag mean I should throw the sound away?

No. A click is meant to start hard, and crackle is meant to click. Listen, then waive what the brief wants with --waive.

Will set stop my footsteps machine-gunning?

Not by itself. It finds near-copies, and it does not catch pitch-shifted copies of one source. Use several sources and listen. See what set misses.

How reliable are the thresholds?

They are being calibrated, so treat them as provisional. One planted fault, the loop seam, passed in the runs behind this wiki. See that case.

Do I need a GPU or ComfyUI?

Not for synth, the checks or the WAV edits. gen needs a reachable ComfyUI with an audio model. Without one it can write the workflow to hand over.

Do I need ffmpeg?

Only for non-WAV input, stretch, convolve and OGG or FLAC delivery, per the README. The stretch, convolve and OGG refusals are shown on Getting started.

Can I ship this commercially?

ship compares your records with its licence table and answers BLOCKED, CHECK or CLEAR. It is a record, not legal advice, and it knows only what was recorded. See Rights and shipping.

I copied a file and now it has no licence. Why?

The sidecar did not come along. Make the file with edit, finish or synth --out, or run library on the copy.

Can it copy a sound from a film?

The skill declines a named film's sounds and famous sound marks, and offers an original built from acoustic traits.

Does it make music or voices?

No. Anything with notes, key or tempo goes to musicwright, and dialogue goes to voicewright or cinewright. All are optional.

Why can't I find it on npm or PyPI?

It is a plugin on GitHub with no registry package. See Getting started.
