dynamic range

Hello everyone! Please excuse if this is the wrong part of the forum to ask this and redirect me if necessary, this is my first post. I am currently trying to get a nice and lightweight command-line based DR14 measurement and log for my Linux server. Since the official plugin does not work...

I have some duplicates in my digital audio library. I need to compare and contrast the quality of each seeming (on the surface) identical file(s). My goal is to delete the album which has the less desirable quantitative characteristics. Some of these duplicates may be from the same master...

This video might be interesting for the community - I think Darko was so close to an understanding of what is wrong with measuring the dynamic range of a vinyl ripped via the Cosmos ADC and DROffline MKII but then jumped back to his subjective opinions :rolleyes: Basically for those not...

For a long time I can not deal with one super problem that everyone knows, but no one understands (at least in our super country Russia) as the main reason to solve it. Games/movies use (or have) a wide/high dynamical range in sound. It looks like this: there is a dialogue in the film and then...

I've noticed that many of my early 90s CDs are better than the versions available currently on streaming services. To use a couple of well-known albums as an example flacs ripped from my CDs of Nirvana 'Nevermind' and Nas 'Illmatic' both have an average DR of ~11 whereas the best versions...

I keep looking at these graphs in Erin’s reviews and thinking these measurements deserve more discussion. Doesn’t a lot of difference hear suggest that the speaker’s dynamic response is poor?

Dear ASR-Community. Perhaps the topic has been discussed before. If it is indeed present, I simply have not been able to find it and would greatly appreciate a reference. At the moment there is a real hype about high quality audio formats and their providing via adequate hardware. It seems...

Do speakers generally act as a dynamic range compressor when operating well within their limits? Do some act as dynamic range expanders? Is high SPL an indicator of what sounds more dynamic? Even when not approaching limits? Most forums seem to have people who describe dynamics is a term...

There was recent article by Steven Stone titled "How Streaming Killed The Loudness War": https://audiophilereview.com/audiophile-news/how-streaming-killed-the-loudness-war.html It is interesting and seems plausible with automated volume leveling normalization. Here the referenced video "The...

I have two copies of a track from Elton John's - Elton John 1970 album. Elton John (1970) [1985 - DJM / 827 689-2 / West Germany / CD] and Elton John [TIDAL / MQA] Starting with the 1985 CD pressing - track 10 - The King Must Die you can see it's not been brickwalled: R128 dynamic range...

There's been a lot of complaining lately about modern recordings. It seems to me the most legitimate of these are those complaints directed at severely clipped audio. Most audiophiles don't listen to this kind of music. I listen to plenty of rock, electronic, dance and metal. I know that...
