Holy Diver

251 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 69% — put it in C minor, a key signature of 3 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 251 readings; 88% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 90.7 to 92.5 BPM.

At 92.3 BPM one beat lasts 650.1 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 162.5 ms and a dotted eighth 487.5 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 46.2 BPM, counted twice as fast 184.6. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 440.8 Hz, which is 3 cents above 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 5.34 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 0.86 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
