jesus2099: lowest was 5, one of my Perfume albums (I think the one I uploaded)

héhé :)

I haven't scanned my whole collection though
2012-08-22 23553, 2012
jesus2099
of course not
2012-08-22 23512, 2012
jesus2099
I will not scan more than 2/3 albums now

ianmcorvidae: I think you’re right about saying we should have new DB… should be based on Disc ID and MB stuff, etc…
2012-08-22 23504, 2012
ianmcorvidae
should at least be linked, yeah
2012-08-22 23517, 2012
ianmcorvidae
I think we should probably collaborate with the people who set up the existing DB though
2012-08-22 23521, 2012
jesus2099
yes
2012-08-22 23533, 2012
ianmcorvidae
if nothing else, perhaps they still have all the logs for the things that have already been uploaded
2012-08-22 23545, 2012
ianmcorvidae
if so, that's a very nice chunk of seed data :)
2012-08-22 23503, 2012
ianmcorvidae
though I'm sure most people in this channel would gladly run it on their entire collections, which would probably be even *more* data, so :P

:p

reosarevok: dynamic range
2012-08-22 23557, 2012
reosarevok
Yeah, yeah
2012-08-22 23559, 2012
reosarevok
That I know
2012-08-22 23506, 2012
reosarevok
But I never actually investigated what that all means
2012-08-22 23508, 2012
ianmcorvidae
someone developed a 1-20 scale, and tools to calculate it
2012-08-22 23513, 2012
ianmcorvidae
someone made a DB for it, but it's sorta not great
2012-08-22 23520, 2012
reosarevok
Apart from "loud bad, less loud less bad" :p
2012-08-22 23525, 2012
ianmcorvidae
kepstin put a page on the wiki about possibly trying to make an integration thing
2012-08-22 23531, 2012
ianmcorvidae
not so much 'less loud' as 'more range'
2012-08-22 23537, 2012
ianmcorvidae
it can still get loud, it just should *also* get soft
2012-08-22 23544, 2012
juhae
heh, that's a handy database. the next time people question my sanity for hunting old pressings of albums instead of "remasters", i can point people there...

reosarevok: when all the sound is goddam compressed
reosarevok: like on the radio for instance, you know they amplify (boost) sound maximum while compressing to achieve a wave form that is uniformly 99% (your song has transformed in a black rectangle)
they master their CD with knowledge of this DR scanner bugs or something

ianmcorvidae: explain high score but how explain a score upper than specs’ maximum ?
2012-08-22 23554, 2012
ianmcorvidae
well, it could be the maximum of 20 isn't a real maximum, but just one that they derived from trying it on a lot of releases
2012-08-22 23531, 2012
reosarevok
The main problem with this thing is how to ensure people use the right remaster and stuff
2012-08-22 23557, 2012
reosarevok
I mean, a good amount of stuff I have, I don't really know which edition it is from :p
2012-08-22 23554, 2012
reosarevok
hahaha
2012-08-22 23554, 2012
ianmcorvidae
sure
2012-08-22 23558, 2012
ianmcorvidae
makes a better DB even more necessary
2012-08-22 23500, 2012
reosarevok
new xkcd is awesome
2012-08-22 23522, 2012
reosarevok
(as in, totally true)
2012-08-22 23528, 2012
jesus2099
reosarevok: use the catalogue number at least
2012-08-22 23548, 2012
reosarevok
jesus2099: that only works if you have the CD and not a download taken from god knows where :p
2012-08-22 23554, 2012
jesus2099
Or we might associate this stuff with fingerprints instead of MBID ?
2012-08-22 23542, 2012
jesus2099
reosarevok: don’t submit this kind, that’s all, only real stuff you have and know :) what’s the point in submitting unknown craps (often with tracks coming from singles and albums mixed etc. potentially)

jesus2099: sure, and I wouldn't, but avoiding people doing it might be harder than it should
2012-08-22 23522, 2012
jesus2099
reosarevok: ah yes, it’s the problem of all user contributed websites (like didcogs, wikipedia, MB, etc.) :/
