Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>This is a fun tool, and useful, but you listen with your ears, not your eyes. Fortunately, <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> makes it very easy to A/B test also. You can time align the audio, even if it's not perfectly the same recording, and click to switch between them during playback.</p><p>I am refreshing my memory from the time I wrote this post about it here.</p><p><a href="https://venya.soundslike.pro/blog/2023/12/stupid-sonic-visualiser-tricks/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">venya.soundslike.pro/blog/2023</span><span class="invisible">/12/stupid-sonic-visualiser-tricks/</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.</p><p>But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a>-normalize.)</p><p>Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>I need to compare a reference mix to the one that my team did in the AES student mixing competition last month. <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> is a great tool for this, but first I need to normalize the audio tracks so they are at roughly the same perceived loudness. ffmpeg-normalize is a quick CLI tool for this purpose.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/wiki/examples" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normal</span><span class="invisible">ize/wiki/examples</span></a></p><p>(I had to install several things to get to the point I could use this, but "you need this" first messages were helpful and clear. Yay, <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a>.) <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/MusicDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicDev</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>OK, another cool <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> trick:</p><p>With the plugin pack installed (specifically the Match plugin), it can analyze and automatically line up audio files that are different versions of the same thing.</p><p>So if you are A/B testing different revisions of audio (even different lengths as here), it will automagically sync them up</p><p>and whichever you have selected is solo'd by default, so you can easily A/B test while you listen</p><p><a href="https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/doc/reference/4.5.2/en/#alignment" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sonicvisualiser.org/doc/refere</span><span class="invisible">nce/4.5.2/en/#alignment</span></a></p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/sound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sound</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>
