And for those who wonder, Yes you can use dMC scripting in python. I hope this gives some idea of just what is possible with dBpoweramp Music Converter. (Sadly it's slower then the python tag reader-but more reliable!) It works great for reading my custom tags on all the files I throw at it.
DBPOWERAMP MUSIC CONVERTER YOUTUBE HOW TO
It was kind of convoluted to figure out how to get python to read and use the dll, but I figured it out eventually. My final version of the script is using the dMCScripting.dll to read tags. Then it failed altogether when I tried to run it on a 32 bit float wav. The tag reader python script I was using randomly would drop digits though. I realized that you can set the desired dB to whatever you want-positive or negative. My next iteration made use of the fact that I was already adding the DSP effect Volume Normalize to apply the EBU R128 standard.
It worked great, but that meant I still needed to keep three copies same music file: The untouched originals, the joined files for the first song and the same joined files for the second song. It would read the tags and find where to trim if needed, create the command to call, then call the command. My first script was made to automate the trimming of songs. If only I could just add a tag to the offending music files and dMC would read them and apply settings accordingly. It was pretty tedious.And I like to mess with my sound processing settings and add new features, so every year or so I end up processing and converting all my music again. My solution was to join really quiet songs with the loudest on the album, do all the processing and converting, then split them up again. Because of the way EBU R128 is calculated, it can make the songs that used to be quiet, too loud or the other way around. Though nice, there are still a good number of songs that stick out as too loud or too quiet. Once I found that I could apply the EBU R128 standard to all my music with dMC, I was fully onboard. I have never liked it when the next song comes on and it's ULTRA LOUD.
