Seriously how can such an important action fail to clearly distinguish between beats and high intensity sounds? Don't get me wrong the manual says "get the intensity of the beat at the current position (0% to 100%)" and when I say beat I refer to the spikes or kicks in general. If we wanted the intensity alone we have the vu_meter and other volume or peak_audio actions. There is something hidden from it.
I mean why when you examine the waves, you can clearly see the difference between beats and non-beats. The problem is get_beat will also have a big value > 50% for sounds that have high intensity but aren't necessarily beats.
I guess this is even why the beatgrid analyser gets problems trying to accurately locate the firstbeat
The solution is straightforward, use the logic of the waves to make a better get_beat action. I have noticed improvements in accurately determining the intensity parts but still it struggles with the firstbeat. Some first beats have lower get_beat values than the successive ones even though they look and sound the same.
Another culprit is the get_song_event which isn't accurate all the time btw. Could someone please explain to me how to clearly interpret it. Coz all I ever see is bB4-digits or bB-digits for peak volume sections, b-digits for less intense beats, just digits for vocals or quiet parts. The -digits part I inderstand but what does bB4,bB,4- mean? I thought such details shouldn't miss in the manual.
