    Praat AudioTools is a collection of more than 415 scripts for audio processing, analysis, and synthesis in Praat.

    The plugin adds a unified AudioTools menu to Praat, bringing together effects, filters, transformations, generative processes, and analysis-driven tools for sound design and experimental composition.

    Developed for composers, sound designers, and researchers, the toolkit extends Praat’s phonetic analysis environment into a complete offline sound laboratory, enabling granular synthesis, adaptive filtering, spectral transformation, fractal reverb, multichannel spatialisation, and machine-learning-driven audio effects.

    I want to thank you for posting this. I was aware of it, but had been procrastinating getting into it because it looks so complex. Having just set it up it's relatively straight forward and I'm already familiar with all the analysis tools from my music background.

    There are some absolutely mind blowing scripts in this audiotools bundle. The examples in their demos will probably put a lot of people off from a musical perspective, but with a bit of experimentation and lateral thinking the applications for music and sound design are incredible to me. I've already warped and mangled some sounds into ear candy additions for a track I'm working on. Also, the processing is so quick and if I'm not mistaken, it's keeping the processed iterations of sounds in ram so you're not cooking your HD like you would with other types of audio processing that create temp files.

    Really impressed with this. It's also making me think I might finally take a look at supercollider which I'd been intimidated by for similar perceived complexity.

    Big up sha. If you have any tips I'd love to hear them or even just how you're using this and what your interest is.

    Thanks again!
