Audio Analyzer

This plug-in allows you to generate text files with statistics about the audio files in a batch process.

This monopass plug-in is exclusively available in the Batch Processor window.

To analyze files without writing anything, select No Audio Output via the Output tab of the Batch Processor window.

This column allows you to select which of the following information to include in the output:

  • Sample Rate

    Note

    We recommend that you activate this option if a silent section at the beginning and at the end of audio material intended for public release is mandatory in your professional context, as it facilitates verification for quality control purposes.

Output

This column allows you to set up the output of the Audio Analyzer. The following options are available:

Send Analysis Results to XML Processor

Submits the analysis results to the XML or HTML output of the batch processor as parameters.

Create One Report per Audio File

Generates a report for each audio file in the batch process. The audio file name is used as the file name.

Open Global Report at End of Batch Process

If this option is activated, a global report opens after the batch process.

File Name Suffix

Allows you to specify a file name suffix. This is necessary when using the Audio Analyzer in a batch process multiple times; for example, to see the stats before and after adding specific plug-ins.

We recommend using a different suffix for each instance of the Audio Analyzer plug-in in the processing chain.
