Title: Analyze Audio - Output (Dynamic Range Values for Export to DR Database)
Post by: Frans on April 29, 2015, 12:38:35 pm
The analyze audio feature is great to compare dynamic range between releases.

I would like to be able to output this data into a TXT file or at least be able to copy and paste the screen.

Ideally the saved output would be compatible with the DR database so JRiver users could easily contribute to it (http://dr.loudness-war.info/).

Am I the only one who wants to be able to help contribute to the Dynamic Range database?  :o

You can create a List Style:Details view that shows the information you want. You can also use the Files view and add a column for the DR values. Press Ctrl + A to select all items. Press Ctrl + C to copy to clipboard. Use Ctrl + V to paste into a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc. If you used the files view then just delete the columns you don't want.

I'd like to, although Mojave's tip will export the information you want to export I think they require this pluggin to generate a file http://www.dynamicrange.de/free-downloads  (http://www.dynamicrange.de/free-downloads);

Unless they have changed ... its very time consuming. I did a few through Foobar a long time ago.  Otherwise I could double their database in very short order by exporting my library.

try and load the pluggin to JRiver and let us know if it works or not.  :)

There is a plugin for foobar2000, but I don't want to mess with foobar2000 if I don't need to, to generate these DR analysis files. It would be a very popular feature to be able to upload these directly to the DR database from JRiver.

Sample output file needed (http://www.dynamicrange.de/free-downloads):

try it, it might work. You can load VST pluggins via DSP studio=>Manage Pluggins button. You have to install the plugin first.

Let me know if it works, just don't have the time right now to try it myself :)
