Hello
I bought the natural drum samples (http://www.naturaldrum.com/). It contains
WAVs and presets for Kontakt and Halion. Now I'd like to create some
gigasampler files in order to use it with linuxsampler.
The documentation of the natural drum sample library is quite good. The only
thing missing is the "loudness" of each sample in order to map each sample
to a velocity level from 0-127.
What would you recommend in order to calculate the "peek" of each drum
sample automatically? Is there a library which could do this? I would also
be happy with a command line tool like this:
$ peek bla.wav
Peek value: 12345

Works for any audio fle that libsndfile can read, which is just about anything.
there is a complication: loudness is no identical to maximum sample
value, but the relationship is good enough for government work, so to
speak.
