Audiofile-Inspector

The Audiofile-Inspector

The Audiofile-Inspector, well known from the QUADRIGA Archive Solution, can now be run in DOBBIN.

Audio files are checked with regards to their properties e.g. start and end of the modulation, average amplitude, average dynamics as well audio errors introduced in the analog domain. These errors include clicks, hum, clipsm drop-outs etc.

The algorithms for the determination of the properties, as well as the recognition of errors, can be switched on or off. The sensitivity can be adapted with various parameters.

The user can differentiate between the output values of the algorithms in the following ways: errors and unique properties such as start of the modulation or the beginning of a segment that contains hum are described as Events. Signal properties that relate to the whole file e.g average volume are described as Means. The recognized Events are saved as technical metadata within the Broadcast Wave File (BWF). In addition the Events are exported in an XML file.

The AudiofileObserver is scalable, depending on your requirements. Each of these algorithms is available and can be activated individually:
