Loudness - negative decibels

$

0

Hi Paul,

I have a follow-up question. When doing timbre analysis, I get 12 unbounded values (attributes) where the first one represents the average loudness of the segment. (1) Is this first attribute the same as the loudness I get when using track_info['loudness']? (2) If yes, why am I always getting positive values (from 0 up to n)? You mentioned before that loudness values typically range from -60 to 0 (see chart: link text). Could you please clarify this for me?

thanks, John
