From bbb, arrange items by volume for sample kit creation.

Tim :) If this is possible then what about using the "read" RMS value to adjust the levels of all selected items to have the same RMS level.

This would be flipping amazing!! :)

Haha MBN, you mean issue 60 ? I had that in mind when thinking about this. :)

indeed! ;) I feel evil now to piggy back on this request but it really would be useful!

Do you have access to things like window time for the RMS sampling etc? a small window to go along with it would be super powerful and people like airon and others would surely donate for this (as would I) :)

MBN, if you're calculating the RMS of an item, the RMS window is equal to the length of the item. I don't think "window size" makes sense in this context... or am I missing something?

Lol, you might be right ;)

That's one of those suggestions that wasn't really thought out very well!

I keep starting to write a reason here against it but logic keeps defeating me half way through each explanation! ;)

Instinct tells me larger "sampling" creates more accurate results but only in the sense of more accurate decimal precision :)

In other words, your right and I'm very happy your interested this idea :)

MBN, after playing with this I decided that a "scan the item for max RMS in window" would be useful, so I added those actions two. (And tackled issue 60 ). Hopefully these are useful to you!

Added actions:
"SWS: Organize items by peak"
"SWS: Organize items by RMS (entire item)"
"SWS: Organize items by peak RMS" (max RMS over window)

Set the window with "SWS: Set RMS analysis/normalize options" r534 v2.1.0.2

Status: Fixed

EVen though I thanked you in issue 60 will thank you again here! :) thanks!
