Matlab dependency¶
If you wish to use the simulated reverb feature implemented by SmirGenerator, you will need to have a valid working version of Matlab.
Non-python dependencies (manual installation)¶
AmbiScaper has two non-python dependencies:
- SoX: http://sox.sourceforge.net/
- FFmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/
On macOS these can be installed using homebrew:
>>> brew install sox
>>> brew install ffmpeg
On linux you can use your distribution’s package manager, e.g. on Ubuntu (15.04 “Vivid Vervet” or newer):
>>> sudo apt-get install sox
>>> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
NOTE: on earlier versions of Ubuntu ffmpeg may point to a Libav binary which is not the correct binary. If you are using anaconda, you can install the correct version by calling:
>>> conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
Otherwise, you can obtain a static binary from the ffmpeg website.
On windows you can use the provided installation binaries:
