      • Leftmost
        The offset part is especially cool.
      • 2013-10-08 28140, 2013

      • kepstin-work
      • 2013-10-08 28149, 2013

      • kepstin-work wonders how those two got the same acoustid :/
      • 2013-10-08 28147, 2013

      • hawke_1
        kepstin-work: maybe the really really close parts compensate for the not-so-close parts
      • 2013-10-08 28107, 2013

      • hawke_1
        i.e. the error rate is averaged over the whole file and manages to be low enough
      • 2013-10-08 28127, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        yeah, I suppose so.
      • 2013-10-08 28130, 2013

      • hawke_1
        kepstin-work: That one of the problematic karaoke tracks? ;-)
      • 2013-10-08 28150, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        yeah
      • 2013-10-08 28101, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        well, that's my horrible different vocalist case, I think
      • 2013-10-08 28102, 2013

      • Leftmost
        I don't see what's wrong with it, but I'm not very good at reading acoustids.
      • 2013-10-08 28118, 2013

      • kepstin-work doesn't actually know which fingerprints correspond to which tracks
      • 2013-10-08 28153, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Leftmost: different vocalists to the same backing audio, I guess.
      • 2013-10-08 28112, 2013

      • hawke_1
        This one is really weird.
      • 2013-10-08 28115, 2013

      • hawke_1
      • 2013-10-08 28134, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Move up to -12, then -24, then -36…
      • 2013-10-08 28118, 2013

      • Leftmost
        -48 too!
      • 2013-10-08 28154, 2013

      • hawke_1
        and -60
      • 2013-10-08 28158, 2013

      • hawke_1
        yeah, it’s consistent.
      • 2013-10-08 28119, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        whoa.
      • 2013-10-08 28129, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        how does that even
      • 2013-10-08 28103, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        i wonder if it's a software bug somewhere
      • 2013-10-08 28153, 2013

      • hawke_1
        dunno. I had another one where it was clearly stretched between the two. You could see the dark area shifting as you adjusted the offset.
      • 2013-10-08 28158, 2013

      • drsaunde joined the channel
      • 2013-10-08 28107, 2013

      • hawke_1
        But nothing like that 'perfect match, shift, perfect match, shift' thing.
      • 2013-10-08 28118, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        i'd expect stretched to be fairly common
      • 2013-10-08 28132, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        particularly for older stuff that went through an A2D conversion
      • 2013-10-08 28128, 2013

      • kepstin-work kind of wishes that acoustid submissions would link the fingerprints to musicbrainz track ids :)
      • 2013-10-08 28159, 2013

      • hawke_1
      • 2013-10-08 28130, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        yeah, that's consistent with a resample at slightly different rate or slightly different playback speed on analogue equipment
      • 2013-10-08 28141, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Another one with that other weird offset, this time at 33 intervals (move up, start at -2)
      • 2013-10-08 28145, 2013

      • hawke_1
      • 2013-10-08 28127, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        the only way to explain that is that chunks of the audio have been deleted/cut out from one of the files
      • 2013-10-08 28142, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        or a bug in the audio decoder in fpcalc :/
      • 2013-10-08 28101, 2013

      • Freso
        "acoustid submissions would link the fingerprints to musicbrainz track ids" +1
      • 2013-10-08 28105, 2013

      • Freso
        And with that, bed time.
      • 2013-10-08 28111, 2013

      • hawke_1
        make that +2
      • 2013-10-08 28144, 2013

      • luks
        repetitive parts in a song are not that unusual
      • 2013-10-08 28106, 2013

      • hawke_1
        luks: It’s not just repetition, or we’d see larger and overlapping chunks wouldn’t we?
      • 2013-10-08 28125, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        in this, we're seeing different chunks of the song matching at different offsets
      • 2013-10-08 28154, 2013

      • hawke_1
        right.
      • 2013-10-08 28109, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        i.e. 0-10 matches 2-12, then 10-20 matches 28-38 or so
      • 2013-10-08 28136, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        so one files looks similar to the other file, but with regularly spaced chunks of missing data
      • 2013-10-08 28115, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        hmm. the 'differences' view in the fingerprint comparison is equivalent to doing an xor operation between the two, isn't it?
      • 2013-10-08 28147, 2013

      • hawke_1
        I think it’s an AND
      • 2013-10-08 28120, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        no, an AND would make it white when both sides are the same :)
      • 2013-10-08 28142, 2013

      • hawke_1
        depends if black is 1 or 0
      • 2013-10-08 28111, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        if you want 0,0->0 0,1->1 1,0->1 1,1->0 then you want xor :)
      • 2013-10-08 28140, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        and and or both miss a case.
      • 2013-10-08 28155, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Ah, so they do.
      • 2013-10-08 28121, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        what do you know, fpDiff[i] = fp1[i + offset2] ^ fp2[i + offset1];
      • 2013-10-08 28124, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        xor it is :)
      • 2013-10-08 28132, 2013

      • hawke_1
        :-D
      • 2013-10-08 28101, 2013

      • kepstin-work wonders if rendering the fingerprint 32bits wide is meaningful, or if it's just an arbitrary choice
      • 2013-10-08 28154, 2013

      • hawke_1
        it is.
      • 2013-10-08 28159, 2013

      • hawke_1
      • 2013-10-08 28103, 2013

      • luks
        hawke_1: I think these kind of matches are cause by e.g. radio edits
      • 2013-10-08 28121, 2013

      • luks
        if you compare original edit and radio mix, all of them would match at some point
      • 2013-10-08 28157, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        luks: that doesn't create a repeating pattern of different chunks matching at different offsets.
      • 2013-10-08 28117, 2013

      • hawke_1
        it would also be weird to have a radio edit of a cat stevens song. ;-)
      • 2013-10-08 28137, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        why would you remove the first 2 seconds, then the 8-10 seconds, then the 18-20 seconds, etc?
      • 2013-10-08 28155, 2013

      • luks
        I think it does, but if I'm not even able to type, I might be able to think right :)
      • 2013-10-08 28120, 2013

      • luks
        kepstin-work: well, that's what I would call audio editing
      • 2013-10-08 28141, 2013

      • luks
        if you need to create a short version under 3 minutes
      • 2013-10-08 28145, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        for 70s stuff, wasn't there often a radio or "single" edit to keep the song within 2-3 minutes?
      • 2013-10-08 28101, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        right, but they'd usually do stuff like remove an entire verse for that, not remove e.g. 2 seconds of ever 10 in a repeating pattern :)
      • 2013-10-08 28117, 2013

      • luks
        you never know
      • 2013-10-08 28106, 2013

      • luks
        I used to debug a case when the person who sent me two versions and asked why chromaprint thinks they are different couldn't even tell they are actually different
      • 2013-10-08 28121, 2013

      • luks
        even I couldn't tell it by listening, I had to play them side by side in audacity
      • 2013-10-08 28154, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        ... and the difference was?
      • 2013-10-08 28112, 2013

      • CallerNo6 guesses "different satanic backward-masked messages"
      • 2013-10-08 28110, 2013

      • hawke_1
        lol

      • kepstin-work
        so strange.
      • 2013-10-08 28118, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Fingerprint only submitted once.
      • 2013-10-08 28139, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        maybe they ripped it from ascratched cd :)
      • 2013-10-08 28126, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Hmm, would that do that?
      • 2013-10-08 28139, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Seems strangely consistent.

        The recording is http://beta.musicbrainz.org/recording/3dc50f9e-10… — if the acoustID duration is correct, that means it’s either “Classics, volume 24”, or “Collected”
      • 2013-10-08 28154, 2013

      • hawke_1
        luks: Do you store the release MBID with the submission, by chance?
      • 2013-10-08 28140, 2013

      • hawke_1
        It appears that it’s not “Classics, Volume 24”

      • CallerNo6
        I understand that not everybody who scans to pdf will take the time to make the page numbers agree. But if you're the Getty and the document your scanning is a about a schema for art metadata? I hold you people to a different standard.

        http://getty.edu/ is a getty.
