Dear sound/audio folks and engineers,

[Update: just for clarity: I'm looking for a command line utility that will help me decide which of 70 audio recordings need amplification/compression/normalization. Something that can print out media stats like average loudness, or something like that]

I have a directory with 3.5GiB of audio files (chiefly opus & m4a) which are spoken word recordings.

Some of them are quite low, and some of them are quite dynamic such that it's a whisper at times and nearly a shout at other times.

I've processed a lot of them with #audacity's compressor filter or #ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.

Is there a way from the #CommandLine to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?

Thanks!!

Something interesting occurred when I updated this toot. As the composition was being uploaded I did not pay attention and pressed send. The server got confused didn't send the updated version because the image was not there yet and kept the old one. My Local Client noticed the problem and kept the updated version for itself

Bass Guitar Amplifier Adjustment

Adjusting a bass guitar amplifier involves setting the EQ (equalization) and other controls to get the best tone for your style, venue, and preferences. Here’s a step-by-step guide to dialing in your bass amp settings:

1. Set Initial Controls
Gain: Start with the gain at a low level. Increase it gradually until you hear distortion, then back off until the sound is clean. If you prefer a grittier tone, leave the gain slightly higher.
Volume: Set the volume to a comfortable level. Adjust it based on your playing environment, such as practicing alone or playing with a band.
2. Adjust EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble)
Bass: Controls the low-end frequencies. Increasing the bass can add warmth and depth. For a more defined sound, avoid cranking the bass too high, as it can make the sound muddy.
Mids: Mids are essential for a clear and punchy tone, especially in a mix. Higher mids add clarity and presence; reducing them can create a scooped sound often used in slap bass.
Treble: Controls the high-end frequencies. Increase it for more clarity and definition, or roll it back for a warmer sound.
3. Use Shape/Contour Controls (if available)
Many bass amps have a "shape" or "contour" control that adjusts the mids for different tones. Experiment to see how these affect your sound, especially if you want a quick, scooped tone.
4. Experiment with Extra Features
Compression: Some amps have a built-in compressor, which smooths out your dynamics and adds sustain. Start low, increasing only until it’s just noticeable.
Drive or Overdrive: If you like a more aggressive, gritty tone, use the drive/overdrive knob to add subtle distortion.
5. Room Acoustics
Adjusting your EQ based on the room’s acoustics is important, especially for live gigs. Rooms with a lot of bass resonance may require turning down the low-end or cutting certain frequencies.
6. Test and Fine-Tune
Play different styles and techniques, like slap, fingerstyle, and pick, to see how your tone holds up.

I am going to link a long article here which I need to post on another Fediverse account

This post does not come from my brains; I've copied it over after I've seen that everything checks out as factual.
The post is from another Network
