[64studio-devel] RMS analysis

Hi Quentin,

On the command line:

$ normalize -bv *.wav

will list RMS average and peak dBFS values.

The package is here: http://packages.debian.org/etch/normalize-audio

It's OK to use tools like this for analysis, but it's best to trust your 
ears when using JAMin. Sometimes you want to make a track quieter than 
the maximum possible subjective loudness, in order to make it fit with 
the other music on the CD.

Cheers!
