3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_truepeak True Peak Scanner
Last post by ngs428 -

I spent some time today to think about what kind of statistics to gather from clipping, here's an experimental implementation: https://foobar.hyv.fi/foo_truepeak_clip_report_testing.fb2k-component
I hope people don't quote this link as the component will be nuked once testing is done, leaving quotes with bad links behind.

The new experimental statistics aren't shown on the result dialog or tagged, they are only printed to foobar's console. So it's best to test that with only one track.

Example results:
Code: [Select]
True Peak Scanning track: G:\Music\Lossless\Metallica\(2008) Death Magnetic\05. All Nightmare Long.flac
Oversampling to 352800 Hz with Resampler (SoX)
Clip stats: ch0: peak: 1.3002197 (2.2803346 dB), pos: 0:30.708, max clip rms: 1.2160325 dB, pos: 0:30.708, max consecutive clipping samples: 16.0000000 (0:00.000 s), total clipping samples: 377258 (0:01.069 s)

I think you are on to something.  How granular the histogram has to be is a good question.  Do we need it by 0.1?  Is sure does show that your file have a ton of clips, but approx 90% are 0.1 or lower.  I think this helps explain the impact of the clip result.

Example results:
Code: [Select]
Oversampling to 192000 Hz with Resampler (SoX)
Clip stats: ch0: peak: 1.0216434 (0.1859869 dB), pos: 0:34.500, max clip rms: -0.0615525 dB, pos: 0:32.646, max consecutive clipping samples: 1.0000000 (0:00.000 s), total clipping samples: 3 (0:00.000 s)
Clip stats: ch1: peak: 1.0251275 (0.2155575 dB), pos: 0:34.500, max clip rms: -0.0170493 dB, pos: 0:26.200, max consecutive clipping samples: 1.0000000 (0:00.000 s), total clipping samples: 2 (0:00.000 s)
Clip stats track:: peak: 1.0251275 (0.2155575 dB), pos: 0:34.500, max clip rms: -0.0170493 dB, pos: 0:26.200, max consecutive clipping samples: 1 (0:00.000 s), total clipping: 5 (0:00.000 s)
Clip histogram:
peak at 0.0 - 0.1 dB: 2 samples (40.00 %)
peak at 0.1 - 0.2 dB: 2 samples (40.00 %)
peak at 0.2 - 0.3 dB: 1 samples (20.00 %)
True Peaks calculated in: 0:01.280, speed: 31.15x

@Case is there a dB threshold where one can expect to hear this clipping?  That is about the only way I think one could present this into a concise single value, well maybe 2 values.  One being total clips and one being clips beyond a certain dB threhold.

Looks like you might need to check localSettings.php
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CharlesC/Template_for_navigational_images_on_Mediawiki_websites#If_you_want_to_use_an_image_that_is_contained_within_the_wiki

[...] the infobox templates now showing the text "[[File:" above and "|256px]]" below the actual image, as I've seen on this one

I've made an adjustment to the Template:Infobox foobar2000 component
I've also asked the template author @beardgoggles  to have a look.
