How can I select EVERY track in my library for analysis? or is this not recommended?
Also, when an analysis is done, it does not affect the individual files right, it adds info to the database?
if that is the case, then if I back up a library from one computer and restore it to another, then that computers files are analyzed, true?
Thanks!

There's a smart list
Audio - Needs Analysis (may have forgotten the exact wording.)

In there you can select everything and analyse. mine is set to 8 files at a time. You can also set to analyse on import which i do now as well.

if you just select your entire library the analysis window allows you to skip files already analysed.

Analysis will write to file tags, but will not modify the file; i.e. it won't change the audio data within.

Ok, I see how I can select all my files.
On the question of where the information is stored in metadata on the individual files, correct?
That being said, if I analyze the files on my main computer and want the same for the library on my laptop, then I need to replace the library on my laptop with a copy of what is on the main computer, right?
Thanks!

do you truly have 2 separate files for both computers? if so then yes. I do something to this effect, I have 2 computers with their own set of files (the 2nd pc is a complete backup able to play immediately in case of meltdown) so after I have added new files to the 1st computer and have analyzed I run a backup to the 2nd computer and to other storage, this gives me backups along with consistent files....U can make anything work for your needs.

Yes.
so that is what I will do.

Thanks all!

Oh, and for any of this to work, you must have "volume leveling" checked in DSP correct?

[~OHM~]

yes

Hi!, I have 2 separate files for 2 computers too, but... when I add new files to my 1st computer and analyze, and I run a backup to the 2nd computer, the 2nd computer doesn't read the analyzed data... Do you know What could be the reason?? I would like to analyze files one time only...

Thank you very much in advance

@pulpopulpo - Perhaps you haven't turned on the save tags to file option? Go to Edit menu and check the Update Tags When File Info Changes item.
