Hi, I'm also testing this great tools in other DAW and their very handy
indeed. Thanks to the developers and John for sharing it with us. I'm still
getting use to this technique of course.
Allow me to point this out: I don’t have SoundForge install in my MacPro
but on a Windows system, within SoundForge Tools Statistics when copy to
clipboard offers the following as the example below:
Cursor position (Time) 00:00:02,373
Sample value at cursor (dB) -17,951
Minimum sample position (Time) 00:00:11,942
Minimum sample value (dB) -0,901
Maximum sample position (Time) 00:00:08,476
Maximum sample value (dB) -0,175
RMS level (dB) -19,963
Average value (dB) -95,530
Zero crossings (Hz) 1.589,88
The End.
If I remember well Audacity offers a handy Statistics chart as well.
It would be great if Pro Tools offer this kind of accessible inscribe
Statistics. I believe Logic Pro X don’t offer that also.
Who knows if one day Peak 2 offer a copy or export Statistics to a text
document! Grin.

I see your point…. Not sure if there is such a tool available, but for
shorter audio, I would reset the peak meter for the master inside of PT and
play the whole file. If the meter is set correctly in the preferences, it
will show the highest level obtained when finished.

Now if only there were a way to find the maximum volume in a file,
maybe n hour or two, that would be very nice. And I don't want to
play the whole thing to find out!

Hi,
I’ve got a couple of questions related to the use of the accessible peak
meter and spectrum analyser, and in case this is useful to someone else, I’ll
paste inn my answers below. I should also add that the manuals for these
plugins are found in the users/shared/documentation folder on your startup
drive.
Hi,
Yes, all the meters will alert you when the threshold you set are touched.
So that’s also the case when the meter is set to show peak values. So, if
you aim to have the meters at a maximum level of -14 dB LUFS or -16 dB
RMS, or -0,5 dB peak level, you simply set the threshold to the value you
aim for and raise the volume until you hear the threshold is touched by
the music. For some music genres, it might also be a good idea to make
sure the dynamic range of your song, that is the difference between the
loudest and the most silent parts of your song, is not more than for
example 8 dB. You can check this by setting the threshold to a value 8 dB
lower than what you aim for as the highest loudness, and then play the
most silent parts of your song. If the threshold is not touched here, you
might consider fixing that issue by using automation or compression to
even out the dynamics in the song.
I’m working on a set of presets for the plugins in Pro Tools, to simplify
this, since you then can have separate presets for different meter types
and different situations. but you might of course create such presets
yourself in Logic Pro or Pro Tools.
If you would like to know the specific value of the meter at different
parts in a song, you should adjust the threshold up and down until you
hear the threshold value is touched by the music.
If you would like to work with the K system (K14,K20 etc.), you set the
threshold to the K value, but use the RMS+3dB mode.
The spectrum analyser works the same way, but here you should first set a
freq value and a range, and then set the threshold until you hear the
music is touching the threshold for that frequency range. So, if you set
the freq to 1k (1000Hz), the range to 500Hz, and the threshold is touched
at a certain value, you know that this is the volume between 1000 and 1500
Hz. By moving the freq value up and down, and change the threshold until
it is touched by the music, you’ll get a picture of how loud the music is
in different freq ranges for this song.
Does this make sense? ;)
Best,
John André

Hi,
Some great news today:
Based on a previous external project and their own plugin framework,
TBProAudio this month upgraded/developed AccesiblePeakMeter2, an
accessible meter that will work for RMS/LUFS, VU, peak level and even for
K12/K14/K20 if you set up some presets. It’s compatible with both Pro
Tools/VoiceOver/Mac and other DAWs and platforms.
Using the same method, they have also upgraded/developed
AccessibleSpectrumAnalyser 1.01, an accessible spectrum analyser that will
work with Pro Tools/VoiceOver/Mac as well as other DAWs and platforms.
They are also working on a possible idea for an accessible phase meter.
I really appreciate the efforts they have put into this, only based on my
request for some accessible meters. There are currently no other
accessible meters that does all this. The products can be downloaded free
of charge from TBProAudio here:
https://www.tb-software.com/TBProAudio/download.html
Look for the AccessiblePeakMeter2, and the accessible spectrum analyser.
The products are calibrated for 0 dB FS, so no further calibration is
needed. I’m working on a set of presets that will speed up the setup of
different meters for different situations. I’ll share them when I have
done some testing.
Hope this will help others as well!
Best,
John André
