Raw Blame History

Implements a command line utility that allows to detect the TRUE quality of your audio material in one batch. Uses psychoacoustics as defined and scientifically proven in:

  • ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993 - Coding of moving pictures and associated audio for digital storage media at up to about 1.5 Mbit/s, Part 3: Audio (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, "MP3").
  • ISO/IEC 13818-7:2006 - Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information, Part 7: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC).
  • Zwicker, E. & Fastl, H. - Psychoacoustics: Facts and Models, Springer, 1999 (FletcherMunson equal-loudness contours).
  • Lerch, A. - An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis, Wiley, 2012 (spectral features for audio forensics).

Always implement only what is scientifically provable. As it is possible to view on a spectrum analysis of the audio to see the hard cutoff introduced by compression algorithms as MP3, it is possible to tell if we have a 96k MP3 file that just was re-encoded as 320k. This tool should allow to spot exactly that.
