About the artist Awesome View all tracks ›
Awesome's real name is Victor Vergara. He describes himself like this:"I have started my own Awezoom Studios website like 5 times since I lost my former url www.awezoom.com some years ago. Since then, I've thought many times about making just a simple space where people could get and listen to my whole music at once.I was born in Valencia, Spain in 1978. My family has always been really poor, but during a couple of years, my parents got some extra money and they were able to get me a computer.For many years I enjoyed learning everything related to computer creation, as image generation, drawing, animation, video edition and fx, music or whatever you could do with just a computer. When trackers appearead it was a shock to me, since a new world opened in front of my eyes. Even with no money to get a Midi Keyboard I was able to express myself through music with just my PC Keyboard and a Sound Blaster.Me and some friends at Euskal Party 5I learned the basics of tracking with Mod Editor 1.0, 669 Composer and Scream Tracker 3, but Fast Tracker 2 was revolutionary to me. I spent hundreds, thousands of hours learning, composing, arranging and creating music with Triton's free software.In 1995-98 I had all the free time in the world, and I spent it tracking. I created dozens of songs, including some of my favorite songs up to date. As a self-learner, I focused on composing all sorts of music, but always with my touch on it, and also the styles of music I like. During those years, with my discovery of Internet at University, I started to spread my music everywhere. They were my 'golden years' as a tracker.During those years I entered all music competitions I could, being quite successful in most of them. I won several 1st and 2nd prices in the Euskal Parties between 1998-2001, and even ranked #2nd at Music Contest 6, which was a Worldwide music contest amongst trackers, with my song "News-o-tronik".I made the graphics for Skale TrackerThen, my career as a professional graphic designer started. My music passion became less important to me. In fact I felt quite well about it since during those years I received letters from fans all around the world saying all sorts of great things about my work, so, in some way, I just thought I had achieved what I wanted with my music: My music had been listened by lots of people, and most of them liked it so much. I felt really happy and satisfied about that, so I focused on my next step: My career as a designer.I left tracking in one corner for years until Reason appeared. To me it was a discovery similar to Fast Tracker 2. It gave me back the passion I had lost time ago and started to compose again. In the beginning I started to remix some of my best songs to make them sound professional, but then I got some new songs that you can find here.Unfortunately I'm not a kid anymore, so I can't put so much time into music anymore, that's made most of my Reason songs remain unfinished (despite many of them require are quite advanced), but anyways I'm putting here many of them for you to enjoy it. Maybe if this web gets popular enough I feel encouraged to finish all those songs for you all."

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 5.5 MB
- 5 718 332 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 3:58
- minutes : seconds
- Tempo How fast the tune goes, in beats per minute - the speed you would tap your foot at. This was measured automatically by the station's analyser (ffmpeg and bpm-tools' "bpm"), not typed in by a person, so it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate: tunes without a steady beat can throw it, and where it is wrong it is usually exactly half or double the tempo you would count.
- 135 BPM
- a dancing tempo
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 192 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −15.6 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 1.9 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- −2.3 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 11
- 11.3 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −18.0 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −17.6 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 0.43 dB
- balanced
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −13.7 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- No
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
