WavRead 1.2.0 — Listening markers
Mark the moment you noticed something. Press Mark while the track plays, write down what you heard, and WavRead reports what its measurements say differs around that moment — what changed, never why it sounds bad.
- Marking is a listening action — one button captures the current position, opens the Markers tab and puts your cursor in the note field. Markers show as amber pins on the waveform, in their own colour and shape so they can never be mistaken for measured data
- Measured context for every marker — loudness, activity, stereo width and L/R correlation across a ±1.5 s window, each compared with the track average and the section it falls in, plus the frequency band that moved most
- Markers go into the Track Document, so Copy, Download Markdown, Export HTML and the AI handoff all carry what you noticed next to what WavRead measured. Your note stays labelled user-entered; the readings stay labelled measured
- Your notes outlive reanalysis. Markers are stored per track outside the analysis document, because reanalysis rewrites that document and a note written at 1:24 has to survive an engine upgrade
- Silence is named, not measured. In a window below −55 LUFS, stereo width and correlation are measuring noise, so a marker on a fade-out says the moment is effectively silent instead of claiming it is "0.996 wider than average"
- Markers are their own category in the storage dashboard, flagged as the only data here WavRead cannot regenerate
A track with no markers produces exactly the document it did before.
Free during development, still unsigned (right-click → Open on first launch). Analyses made under the app's former name, SoundScribe, keep working.
