August 2019  Santana 'Paraísos Quemados' from Africa Speaks

8/1/2019

 
The newest album from Santana is entitled "Africa Speaks".   We will look at one of the best tracks on the album...'Paraisos Quemados.  The song is a nice jazz inflected song with a feel that reminds you of some of the good music of the 1970's.  Here are the numbers.


LKFS/LUFS                       -7.2 dB
Clipped Samples Left     15,167 
Clipped Samples Right   18,626
DC Offset                       +.063%, +.062%
Dynamic Range               7.3 dB
RMS Level Left              -7.36 dB
RMS Level Right            -7.33 dB

The RMS levels show a nice, even left to right balance.  The DC offset is not 0, but we would be shocked if it was.  The EQ is good, so no argument there.  The clipped Sample numbers are in the realm of the absurd...15,167 left and 18,626 right...Crude slamming of waveform peaks that does not require any skill or any sophisticated equipment.
