s there any way to get R128 scanning and levelling?

Not currently

Thanks. Is it planned?

+1 interested in writing loudness information EBU R128 compliant into tags.

Is such a DSP planned for the future?

Some scanners already exist like R128Gain and LIBEBUR128.

Would be a great improvement for dBpoweramp :komisch12


Thanx a lot

It is on the horizon

It is on the horizon

Thank you spoon.

These are really good news :smile2: :komisch9:

Hello Spoon,

has the horizon moved closer meanwhile?

Thanks

I would guess it is less than 1 week away from beta.

Phantastic, I will give it a try!

Thank you

Re: s there any way to get R128 scanning and levelling?

BTW,

will this DSP write ReplayGain Tags (e.g. to FLAC) so that R128 scanned files can be loudness normalized by ReplayGain compatible players or
will the audio be loudness normalized to a configurable target (-23 LUFS).
I don't like the latter, because it is destructive, whereas the first solution just concerns the metatags.

Best regards

I would hope both

Re: s there any way to get R128 scanning and levelling?

I want to communicate what I have written in another thread:

I just have implemented EBUR128 Normalize and tested on one FLAC file.
(I will do a more thorough testing later on).
Testing means that I have compared the result to a professional EBU R128 standard compliant software from Nugen Audio (VisLM):
the result is very accurate. The algorithm works fine.

One question concerning the algorithm: does EBUR128 Normalize take into consideration the latest evolution of the R128 Standard ? EBU R128 was updated in September 2011, adopting the G10 gate of ITU-R BS. 1770-2.

Now I am looking forward to use the option of writing to ReplayGain tags.
I suppose that they will be the usual standard RG tags (this is the minimum):
REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN
REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK
REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN
REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK

I suggest to include some more data fields into the tags, for logging purposes:
"REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_LOUDNESS" = measured integrated track loudness in LUFS
"REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAKDB" = same as REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK but in deciBel
"REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_LOUDNESS" = measured integrated album loudness in LUFS
"REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAKDB" = same as REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK but in deciBel
"REPLAYGAIN_REFERENCE_LOUDNESS" e.g. -23.00 LUFS
"REPLAYGAIN_ALGORITHM" e.g. "EBU R128 v.2011"
"MAXIMUM_TRACK_TRUE_PEAKDB" = Track True Peak in dB if oversampling is used
"MAXIMUM_ALBUM_TRUE_PEAKDB" = Album True Peak in dB if oversampling is used
"LOUDNESS_RANGE" = EBU R128 Loudness Range
"REPLAYGAIN_TAGS_WRITTEN_BY" eg. dBPoweramp (Text field)
(maybe MaxMomentary, MaxShortTerm)
so that all the loudness relevant information would reside inside the file.

I hope this doesn't shock you ;-)

Thanks

Re: s there any way to get R128 scanning and levelling?

I cannot promise...as a 3rd party is implementing it.

[jangk]

Re: s there any way to get R128 scanning and levelling?

Oh!
Thank you for the info, maybe you could pass these recommendations to the 3rd party?

Please be aware of the latest evolution of the R128 Standard: EBU R128 was updated in September 2011, adopting the G10 gate of ITU-R BS. 1770-2.

Thanx
