Hi! I'm doing some research to find out whether is possible to make something able to measure loudness (LUFS or RMS) and peak of a number of files in Max.

I would imagine I could build something with ~average to measure RMS but I was wondering if there was a way to measure the audio without playing the files back. Something that looks into a folder of files and reports data. Too ambitious?

analyzing data without reading it would fullfill the state of magic. but you can do something like that using the NRT audio driver, so that it runs at least as fast as possible.

Well I said without playing them back not without reading them ;)

thanks! I know nothing about the NRT audio driver, will look into it

you are right, but technically it is almost the same.

where NRT doesnt work or is too much hassle, you could maybe make a compromise between playing in realtime and playing in nonrealtime 

by playing it 16 times faster than normal

for "power" it should be ok in most situations, for "peak", well, as you can guess, you will loose the very tops.
