Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream

152 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Fewer than half of them — 48% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 152 readings; 97% of them land within 2% of it, and they barely differ at all.

At 105.6 BPM one beat lasts 568.2 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 142 ms and a dotted eighth 426.1 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 52.8 BPM, counted twice as fast 211.2. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 439.2 Hz, which is 3 cents below concert A at 440 Hz — close enough to standard that a tuner would not argue. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 3.51 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.919 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
