hi

about are the audtio statistics of an entire audio file accurate ?

reading a forum about it , i have read

it's impractical to calculate the true RMS of the entire file, so most algorithms do some time-windowing and take an average-of-RMS values (or maybe an RMS-of-RMS values if that makes sense mathematically). So... two different applications may report two slightly different RMS values.

&

and, the average may also be an average-of-averages over the length of the file.

is it true?

thanks

hi

so audtio statistics is almost unless

i use to find out the peak amplitude & the minimum rsm ampliture

these value are misleading aren't they?

for example i working on this audio , i watch the value with the red arrows

thanks

Diagnostics and the de-clipper setting to determine and mark them

hi

never worked for me

look

here you can see there is not clipped audio

thanks

or i can't understand Diagnostics or they don't work or it's buggy on my system

Try resetting the tolerance to zero...
