| {color:#333333}{*}One line summary{*}{color} | {color:#333333}A script to check a collection of audio recordings for 1) expected files, 2) expected specification, and 3) provenance. {color} |
| {color:#333333}{*}Detailed description{*}{color} | audio_audit: Audit a series of Wave files. \\
OPTIONS: \\
\-h Show this message. \\
\-i Input path (mandatory). \\
\-f Perform fingerprint verification of Master/Listening pairs. \\
\-v Display version. \\
\\
This is a simple bash script which uses two main tools: \\
* BWF MetaEdit: for extracting file-specific metadata (sample rate, sample bit-rate).
* jHears: for audio fingerprinting (which also relies on SoX). Both client and server software are required. \\
\\
It is used to check a series of paired Wave files (a Master and Listening copy) against certain criteria: \\
\# That for each Master there is a corresponding listening copy.# That each Wave file has the correct sample rate and sample bit-rate.# Optionally, that each Listening copy has a sufficiently similar audio fingerprint to that of the Master. |

| {color:#333333}{*}Group Evaluation Notes{*}{color} | * {color:#333333}Fingerprinting tested on sample collection but mixed results at matching pair. Masters and service files may not be close enough for fingerprinting to work{color}
* {color:#333333}Further investigation needed on results and tweaking the fingerprinting parameters{color}
* {color:#333333}Would be interesting to try this on other{color}
* {color:#333333}Would other tools/techniques work better. Eg. AudioScout?{color} {color:#333333}[http://freshmeat.net/projects/audioscout]{color}{color:#333333} or libofa{color}
* {color:#333333}Potentially very useful to issue champion, especially spec checking{color}
* {color:#333333}Could check on submission{color}
* {color:#333333}Organisation could quite easily utilise the script{color}
* {color:#333333}If wrapped as windows usable tool could be used by those generating the recordings{color}
* {color:#333333}Potential to investigate further metadata extraction{color}
* {color:#333333}Potential to take results away, trial it, generate more requirements and then bring to London AQuA event{color}
* {color:#333333}Might be able to bring in additional sound expertise for London (BL Sound and Vision?){color} |
