jesus2099: lowest was 5, one of my Perfume albums (I think the one I uploaded)
jesus2099
héhé :)
ianmcorvidae
I haven't scanned my whole collection though
jesus2099
of course not
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…
ianmcorvidae
should at least be linked, yeah
I think we should probably collaborate with the people who set up the existing DB though
jesus2099
yes
ianmcorvidae
if nothing else, perhaps they still have all the logs for the things that have already been uploaded
if so, that's a very nice chunk of seed data :)
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
reosarevok
:p
ianmcorvidae
reosarevok: dynamic range
reosarevok
Yeah, yeah
That I know
But I never actually investigated what that all means
ianmcorvidae
someone developed a 1-20 scale, and tools to calculate it
someone made a DB for it, but it's sorta not great
reosarevok
Apart from "loud bad, less loud less bad" :p
ianmcorvidae
kepstin put a page on the wiki about possibly trying to make an integration thing
not so much 'less loud' as 'more range'
it can still get loud, it just should *also* get soft
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 ?
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
reosarevok
The main problem with this thing is how to ensure people use the right remaster and stuff
I mean, a good amount of stuff I have, I don't really know which edition it is from :p
hahaha
ianmcorvidae
sure
makes a better DB even more necessary
reosarevok
new xkcd is awesome
(as in, totally true)
jesus2099
reosarevok: use the catalogue number at least
reosarevok
jesus2099: that only works if you have the CD and not a download taken from god knows where :p
jesus2099
Or we might associate this stuff with fingerprints instead of MBID ?
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)
jcazevedo joined the channel

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