Hi Raphaël,

Well, at this time I am unable to find a way to do what Tommy is asking
for.  I will see that it gets logged and will do my best to see it added
in the next Peak update, but I can't promise anything.  

Please let me know if you need anything else.  

Thanks!

Cory

¡Hello Cory!

In our profesional discussion list ARSCLIST (Association for Recorded
Sound Collections [ARSC], list hosted by the Library of Congress) we are
several ethnomusicologists or sound archivists using Peak Pro in our
profesional purposes. This sigject often appears in the list, because
archivists need to export metadatas into databases.

I send you the last messages received by a Swedish colleague. Thant you
for your help.


PS: I'm "hanging out one's shingle" (business) in audio restoration of
ethnographical sound recordings, using Peak Pro and SoundSoap software
(with some others...)  You can now send me mails to the business

Sujet: [ARSCLIST] Metadata handling in BIAS Peak
Envoyé: lundi 8 mars 2010 9:37

Hi all,

I want to export metadata from wave audio files into our database
application to enable access to cuts residing anywhere in the audiofile.
Ideally, I'd like to see a text file comprising start time and end time
for the cut, expressed in the format hh.mm.ss.ms, and some identifier
for the cut, possibly just a number.
 
I've tried to reach this goal in Bias Peak, by defining regions,
creating a playlist of regions and exporting the playlist as a report.

The problem is that the playlist stacks the regions, one after another,
and don't care if I've left portions of the audio file outside of
regions, which I do if they contain i.e. silence or noise. So the total
time of the playlist events is shorter than the file length, and a cut
is given an earlier starting time than when the region was created.

In essence, the playlist event does not retain its proper starting time.
An extreme example would be if I created a region towards the end of the
file, say at time 00:12:20:000 in a 15 minute file. In the playlist this
region will start at time 00:00:00.000, and when using this data,
playback will start from the beginning of the file instead of where the
cut is defined. Granted the playlist is meant for creating CD's (I guess
that's way it expresses fractions of seconds in CDframes by default).
 
My query therefore is simply: can I achieve my goal with Peak, and if so, how?

Regards,
