Dynamic Range Meter, RMS, Peak into ID3 tags

pueblofunky 7:59 AM - 8 May, 2012
Hi,

is it possible to include the DR, RMS and Peak into ID3 tags during analyzing the tracks and show the columns in the library, smart crate filter, etc.?

See

www.dynamicrange.de

I think it is not a problem the get the latest algorithm from the Pleasurize Music Foundation to support sound quality.

It would also avoid a lot of manual work if SSL could do the whole work.

Thanks a lot,
Robert

Actual foobar2000 plugin to analyze the DR value:

Tested and works great! Only the import from the log file into WAV ID3 tags is a big process. Serato please ...

This is all interesting, but I'm wondering what possible value that information would be to most DJ's?

Are you actually organizing sets/playlists according to the measured dynamic range and peak levels of the songs? Or is there some other use for the information while DJ-ing?

I (and all others) want to have one music library management software - which is preferable Serato - but currently I have to use 4 software modules (Serato, Mixed In Key, freedb2000 with DRM plugin, Tag & Rename) to store all the data in the tracks itself which I want.

Serato because it has a database and no re-read of the tracks need to be done. And the big feature with Smart Crates! :-)

I'm searching for the best masters from dance classics (70's - 90's) and these values helps to quickly find bad tracks (I have > 25.000 WAVs) and so I know which tracks I have to buy again on another CD, etc. - and as I said I want to store the information to know what I have in my collection and I only want to use ONE software in the near future: Serato - and that's why I ask to support it.

So if a dance classic DJ has e.g. "Gloria Gaynor - I will survive" with a DR5 (Dynamic Range) - it is highly recommended to find a better master (from a not remastered CD) with e.g. DR13.

However - the information is definitely much better then the track# or disc# of an album. ;-)
