AudioMeter vs Chubby Click - Metronome
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
AudioMeter
A simple VU-style audio meter. You can choose from several formulas to allow the meter to work in low- and high-noise level enviromnents. I noticed there was no audio meter in F-Droid, so I thought I'd build one. The app offers a few ways to calculate the audio level to display: * dBFS: Decibels relative to Full Scale. * RMS: Root Mean Square. This is arguable the most correct, but it is a little insensitive at low volumes. * LogRMS: Natural log of RMS: My first attempt to even out the scale. It's a little too sensitive to noisy mics. * SqrtRMS: Squareroot of RMS: My second attempt to even out RMS: it seems to works best. * Max: Simply find the loudest bit of each sample. Most responsive, but will peg the scale on noisey places. * Avg: Simple average of the sound.
Chubby Click - Metronome
NOTE: The app is no longer developed. Chubby Click is a metronome designed for the musician that needs to easily manage a setlist of songs. The app features three sections: * A conventional metronome with tap tempo * A Setlist where songs can be added and sorted, and where the click for each song can be started/stopped with a single tap * A Practice section where metronome can be programmed to automatically increase/decrease BPM over time * Each beat in a bar can be accented or muted Setlists can be exported and imported. Sound (notes pitch and duration) can be customized and two presets are provided. The metronome can be controlled using media buttons on an external device (e.g. Bluetooth headphones).
