Fakin The Funk Changelog

What's new in Fakin The Funk 6.0.0.162

• Loudness normalization:
• This version offers the ability to analyze the loudness normalization values (similar to ReplayGain) and will write them to the ReplayGain tags of your files The audio data is not changed; only Id-tags are written You will need a player that supports the ReplayGain tags to apply these values
• Fakin‘ The Funk offers this ability; you can (de-)activate it in the settings-dialog, tab [Replay options] It is called „apply loudness normalization values when playing a file“
• It’s not the older ReplayGain algorithm that is used, but the newer „EBU R 128“ one See https://techebuch/docs/tech/tech3343pdf for details
• You can either activate the option „Calculate loudness after analyzing files“ in the settings dialog This will run the analysis directly after adding files to your collection
• Or you can use the right-mouse menu „Analyze loudness…“ in the listview to analyze all selected files or in the treeview to analyze all files of the selected folder
• In all cases you have to specify a target loudness in [db]
• Even though EBU recommends a target value ob -23, it seems to me that ReplayGain was targeting something like -18 db It’s up to you; you can easily change this value – but then you will have to reanalyze all files to make the change effective!
• Performance on large collections:
• On large collections, when there are a lot of subfolders, building the treeview can be rather slow Therefore, the settings dialog offers the option „disable treeview on large results“ in the [Display options] Tab
• If you perform a search eg for artists or filenames (see search-tipps at the forum (click here)), the tree will be automatically build properly as soon as there are less than 3,000 folders to show
• Note:
• This setting is only available when there are at least 5,000 files in your database
• Hide treeview:
• If you don’t need the treeview at all, you can simply disable it in the settings dialog, Tab [Display options] If disabled, all files will be shown in the Listview Please also refer to the search tipps at the forum (click here)
• This settings was available also in the last version, but internally the tree was still built which resulted in a bad performance on large collections; this is fixed
• Bugfixes:
• Replacing single files
• Replacing single files by drag&drop (see Settings dialog) worked only properly if the file that you dropped onto was also selected This is fixed; the file you drop onto will now be replaced, regardless which one is selected In addition, an info-box will show the filename that will be replaced
• Additionally, not only the tags from the source file will be copied, also the embedded images
• bps
• Under some reare circumstances, 320 kbps mp3 files were reported as 321 kbps This is fixed
