- I think it would be nice to have some form of auto-attenuation (and also
auto normalize-to-peak or even amping/compressing), but to make it perfect wouldn't you have to scan all your files first, or could you make some setup for that ?
The expected mode of use would be that an appropriate setting would be learned the first time a song is played, and recalled when the song is played again.
Ok, but where would you store the info ? And would it be fast enough with large song-collections ? If you do this it would perhaps be good to put the plugin in a "learn"-mode so you could get the info from all your songs fast and write it in a file for later use.
I have testet some files and they typically have clipping about 1db, but i found one file with 6db clipping in one sample (?), and if you auto-attenuate that the result is not good, so you should have some form of setup to prevent that.
This is a good point, but also a tough decision... how much clipping is acceptable?
Are there any audio technicians on the list (Anthony? :) who could go into details with me about sound energy levels, compression, normalization, etc.?
I found another file with a few (160 ?) samples with 8db clipping so i think that some kind of setup would be nice!
