#### Batch audio studio, convert and normalize to LUFS

AudioSTAX takes a folder of recordings, songs or videos and gives you back
files that are all in the format you need and at the same loudness, ready
for podcasts, streaming or broadcast. Everything happens on your computer:
nothing is uploaded.

Batch conversion

* WAV (16/24/32-bit float), FLAC, MP3 (CBR/VBR), AAC (.m4a), Opus and
  OGG Vorbis
* From almost any audio format and from the soundtrack of MP4, MOV, MKV,
  WebM and AVI videos
* Drag files or whole folders, hundreds at a time; several files in
  parallel on all your cores

Loudness in LUFS

* Two-pass EBU R128 normalization: one precise gain that keeps your
  dynamics, with a true-peak ceiling
* Presets for podcasts (-16), streaming (-14) and broadcast (-23), or your
  own values
* Waveform and measured loudness of every file before you convert

Speech cleanup and subtitles

* AI noise reduction (DeepFilterNet) for fans, traffic and noisy rooms; a
  light mode for faint hiss
* Automatic removal of 50/60 Hz mains hum and a leveler that evens out
  quiet and loud voices
* Subtitles and transcripts with Whisper: SRT, VTT, TXT and JSON next to
  every file, language detected automatically

Tags, cover art and file names

* Write artist, album, year or genre into every file at once; title from
  the file name, track numbers in queue order
* Keep, replace or remove the cover art (MP3, FLAC, AAC)
* File names from variables, find-and-replace rules and letter case, with
  a live preview of the final names

Private by design

* No account, no ads, no tracking: your audio never leaves the computer.
  The AI models are downloaded only when you ask for them
* Free, in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish, with a complete
  built-in guide

AudioSTAX opens files in your home folder and on removable drives
(/media, /run/media; connect removable-media if it is not connected).

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install AudioSTAX

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
