💿 DBMIX(7) — Miscellaneous Information Manual 💿

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a whole manual section 7 moment and it's lowkey iconic. welcome to the DBMix page. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

DBMix — the Digital Audio Mixing System 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dbcat [options]
dbfsd [options]
dbin [options]
dbmixer

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the DBMix system is literally able to combine sound from various sources into a single audio stream. think of it as a virtual DJ mixing desk fr fr 🎧. the mixing uses a Fourier synthesis algorithm to keep the sound quality in the output stream, no cap — it's giving "math but make it bops". ✨

the dbfsd daemon is DBMix's backend — that's where most of the real synthesis work gets done, it's the main character honestly 👑. and then several clients let you connect different audio sources to that backend:

  • dbin links line-in, or microphone input from the sound card, to DBMix 🎤
  • and there's dbcat, a pretty generic tool that redirects its standard input to a dbfsd channel 🐈

actual DJ work is done using the graphical frontend dbmixer 💅.

for an in-depth description of each application, go see its respective man page. iykyk. 🫶
