I’m Into Something Good

157 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 88% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 157 readings; 86% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 133.6 to 139.9 BPM.

At 134.5 BPM one beat lasts 446.1 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 111.5 ms and a dotted eighth 334.6 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 67.3 BPM, counted twice as fast 269. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 446.7 Hz, which is 26 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — the sort of drift a tape machine or a slightly different mastering leaves behind. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 2.72 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 0.942 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
