On that behalf:
I'm finished with the first half of the PDF.Compyfox wrote:
- there is planned to be a PDF with statistics of the current entries. Like: submitted track's average signal strength, max average signal strength, max digital signal strength, comments on rule violations. A PDF is more streamlined than writing that down in the thread
Meaning, I already noted down the values from the analysis. The PDF will have the following readouts: Loudness (Average and Maximum in dBFS RMS and Range in LU), Digital Max Peak (in dBTP), Dynamic Range (mathematical value from max loudness to max digital peak, rounded down to one digit as decimal place - pretty much non-important these days, it's just there as additional info), the reference level (that I think was used), the used Sample Rate and Bitrate and the rule violations.
This statistics sheet is for learning purposes.
The monster work is listening to the tracks and noting down possible rule violations/warnings.
Just a sidenote...
If this would be a real C2B relationship, users H-Man, Yeager and wesleyt would have run into troubles. Because their peak values are either over 0dBFS (read: clipping!), or way too high for a mastering house. Though H-Man's track can be easily fixed since it's in 48/32, but Yeager's track can't be repaired since it's in 44/16. wesleyt's track clocks in at about -0,12dBTP. Everyone else had a healthy peak headroom of about -3,5dB on average.
More on that the next days.
And once more:
Nobody is being disqualified.
