DJ Daemon Time for flashback! Tracks from the past! With your host, DJ Daemon! That's right! We are ready for another hour of great music. Track music, that is. We're starting off with a gem and a blur.

DJ Daemon introduces the show.

Soviet NESDJ Daemon So do we have any demo parties coming up? The answer is yes we do. As we are speaking Syntax 2024 is ongoing and next week is Brown Birdy 2024 on the 25th of October. It's Benediction coding party number four on the 31st of October and it's So 2024 on the 1st of November. So there you go it's a lot of things coming up your way.

DJ Daemon speaks about the upcoming demo parties.

Blue Zone and Sinope - Dust of Eternity v2.0

DJ Daemon presents the songs.

DJ Daemon Niceness! And that was Blue Zone and Synopy with Dust of Eternity version 2.0. It's important those things with versions I guess. Anyway, we're going on with the Brandon Hale and Club Sandwich, the TBE remix.

Brandon Hale - Club Sandwich (TB Remix)

DJ Daemon Well, last episode we spoke about Eldjar, the lazy game reviews guy and his very broken home after a storm. And I've seen a very recent video where he shows how badly everything is doing right there. He will have to work very hard to get everything up and running again. But we are hoping for that and we are wanting him to fix everything up and well, get back into go-doing the very good videos that he makes. Anyway, we're going on with the Deathless and Mina Sapo Kaputin.

DJ Daemon comes with an update about LGR.

Defilus - Minna saapuu kaupunkiin

DJ Daemon translates the song that he just played.

DJ Daemon And if you're interested in what the song is about, the song simply means Mina comes to the town. That's in Finnish, by the way. Anyway, you're listening to Flashback Tracks from the past, and I'm DJ Daemon. We're going on with Dilik and Halashiro.

Dilik - Hanashiro

DJ Daemon talks about the weather.

DJ Daemon Well, we are close to November, the least expected and wanted month of the year if you ask me. But it's still October as I'm recording this and the weather outside is quite okay if you ask me. Anyway, we're going on with Spamtron and random with Varg.

Spamtron and Random - Bwargh

DJ Daemon presents medley number 2

DJ Daemon We're nice enough to give you another medley, the second one for today, it starts with DJ Moonraver and Where Are You. It continues with Purple Motion and Aquaphobia, and the end song is Jay's Song with Funky Jam.

Dj moonraver - Where are you?

Purple Motion - Aquaphobia - 1993 / spring

JaseChong - Funky Jam

DJ Daemon talks about an upcoming update of the website (ericade.radio)

DJ Daemon Let's talk about Ericade. Radio for a while. That would be the website Ericade. Radio where you can get the latest podcasts and of course also listen to the station live. Well, we have some help from Koreas of Retro Gigi who will help us making the site looking better and being easier to work with. So in a few weeks from now you will have a nice new webpage. We're going on with a Reed Richards and Imploder remix.

Reed Richards - Imploder remix

DJ Daemon talks about the Amigaprogram "Imploder"

DJ Daemon you had an Amiga back in the day, may remember a software called Imploder. It had one task alone and it was to make files smaller and compact. That song you just heard was playing when you were using the software, so you might have heard it before. We're going on with EnnPaysen with Souvenir Detrents.

Ng Pei Sin - Souvenir D'enfrance

DJ Daemon presents the next tune.

DJ Daemon You're listening to Flashback Tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon. We have a few minutes to go before the end of this program and we're going on with Peter Oakson and Vinotian Winds.

Mp3 file details

Waveform of episode 132, Cosy in the dark, left channel above, right channel below: level in dB against time, 1:00:18 long. Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
Waveform A picture of the whole recording from start to end. The taller the shape, the louder that moment; the left channel is on top and the right channel below it. The scale up the side is the level in dB, the one along the bottom is the time. Select the picture to open it at full size.
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.
84.8 MB
88 874 217 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.
1:00:18
hours : minutes : seconds
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.
196 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.
−15.4 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.
6.0 LU
moderate
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.
0.0 dBTP
close to the ceiling - may distort on some players
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
10.8 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.
−16.6 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.
−16.8 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.
0.14 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.
−12.5 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.
Yes

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.

album The album or collection the file says it belongs to. Stations and encoders sometimes use this field for notes of their own.

artist Who made or performs the recording, as it is written inside the file.
