๐Ÿ”— melcom's FFmpeg Audio Normalizer v4.1.1 (Flickwerk Edition)

melcom's FFmpeg Audio Normalizer is a free Windows application for loudness normalization based on EBU R128, LUFS and True Peak processing. Powered by FFmpeg, it supports WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG and other common audio formats for individual files and complete batches.

The Flickwerk Edition focuses on careful repairs, safer configuration handling, reliable metadata preservation and a smoother daily workflow. It also introduces optional update notifications, external JSON themes and a completely redesigned Options window.

The application is available in English, German, Polish and Swedish, with dedicated help files for every included language. Questions or issues? Contact me.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: The complete FFmpeg suite is required. Download it from this page and select the folder containing ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe and ffprobe.exe in the program's Options.

๐Ÿ”— My Self Created Samples

Here you can find my self-created samples. All samples are available in .flac format. These samples can be used without any problems, for example in OpenMPT. However, if you want to use these samples in Schism Tracker, you will need to convert them to the .wav format.

To convert the samples, you will need FLAC. You can create a batch file to use the Flac.exe, or you can use Flac Frontend. I can also provide you with my batch file. Please write to me if you would like to have it.

๐Ÿ’พ The samples are in my Dropbox account:

/My .flac Samples/

There are currently over 200 .flac samples available. All files are in their original length. You can do whatever you want with the samples / instruments ๐Ÿ™‚ But maybe you could give me credits ๐Ÿค— But it's not really necessary.

Have fun,
- melcom

๐Ÿ”— GOG Galaxy 2.1+ (64-bit) Community Integrations

I maintain a collection of community integrations updated for the native 64-bit version of GOG Galaxy 2.1+. The goal is to keep existing integrations compatible with the modern client by updating dependencies, replacing outdated libraries and ensuring long-term maintainability.

The repository currently includes released integrations for Amazon Games, Battle.net, EA App, Humble Bundle, itch.io, Steam and Ubisoft Connect, with additional integrations under development. It also references compatible community work maintained by other developers where appropriate.

๐Ÿ”— ๐Ÿ”ง melcom's GhostKey Sentinel v1.1

melcom's GhostKey Sentinel is a free, lightweight AutoHotkey script designed to fix mechanical keyboard chattering-the frustrating issue where a single key press registers multiple times.

This "set it and forget it" tool runs silently in the background, intercepting unwanted "ghost" key presses without adding any input lag. It's the perfect solution to restore a flawless typing experience on keyboards that have started to show their age.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: Requires the free AutoHotkey v2 software to be installed on your system.

What's new in v1.1?

  • Bug Fix: Fixed a conflict with the Steam Overlay. The script now ignores the Tab key to ensure the Shift + Tab shortcut works reliably in all applications and games.

Key Features

  • Solves frustrating double-typing issues (key chattering).
  • Runs silently in the background with minimal resource usage.
  • Adds no noticeable input lag to your typing.
  • Easy "set it and forget it" installation.
  • Fully open-source and customizable.
