- SpectrogramMetric: log-frequency STFT power heatmap over time, magma colormap, -80 dB floor. Adaptive hop caps time bins at ~4000 so long tracks stay responsive on redraw; N_FFT=4096 keeps low-freq resolution. - master_core: load audio at native sample rate (librosa.load sr=None) instead of librosa's 22050 Hz default, so the full band up to the file's own nyquist (~22 kHz at 44.1 kHz) is analysed. ~2x heavier on 44.1/48 kHz files, by design. - metrics: shared _show_axis_extents helper forces each axis's exact min/max onto the tick list with compact labels (_fmt_tick), so the true range is always readable -- notably the spectrogram's 22 kHz top, which otherwise sits unlabelled between log-scale decade ticks. Applied to all metric renders. - Docs: README + CLAUDE updated for the new metric, native-rate loading, and axis-readability behaviour. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
uj-mastering-master
Custom mastering toolkit providing visual metrics for evaluating audio masterings. Developed with Claude Code assistance.
Features
Current
- PyQt5 GUI: drag-and-drop or file-dialog ingest of
.mp3,.wav,.flac - Switchable metrics via a dropdown, all sharing one analysis cache:
- RMS Power — 10 s rolling window with adaptive colour scale
- Waveform — min/max envelope, fixed ±1.1 scale
- LUFS — BS.1770 short-term (3 s) + integrated + loudness range (LRA)
- Crest Factor — peak-to-RMS spread over time
- PSR — peak-to-short-term-loudness ratio ("is it still breathing?")
- True Peak — 4× oversampled dBTP, catches inter-sample peaks
- Spectrogram — log-frequency STFT power heatmap over time
- Always-labelled axis extremes: every plot forces its exact min/max onto the ticks, so you can read the true range even on a log axis (e.g. the spectrogram's 22 kHz top, which otherwise falls between decade ticks)
- Native sample rate: audio is loaded without resampling, so the full band (up to the file's own nyquist, e.g. ~22 kHz for 44.1 kHz files) is analysed
- BPM detection via librosa
- CJK-safe font system with custom fonts loaded from
fonts/(gitignored), system fallbacks, and a live font selector - Background analysis thread so the UI stays responsive; metric switches compute off the GUI thread and cache, so re-selecting a metric is instant
- Embedded matplotlib canvas with auto-regenerated plots on font change
Roadmap
See CLAUDE.md for the full development roadmap. Near-term: dynamic range (DR meter), plot-style controls, interactive axis controls.
Quick start
This project uses uv. With uv installed:
uv sync
uv run ujm
uv run ujm is the only supported entry point — it boots the GUI.
Logging flags
uv run ujm --log-level DEBUG # ERROR | WARN | INFO | DEBUG | TRACE
uv run ujm --log-file # also write audio_analysis.log
Fonts
Drop .ttf / .otf / .ttc files into fonts/ to get them in the font
selector. The directory is gitignored to avoid bundling licensed font data.
See CJK_FONTS.md for details.
Dependencies
librosa, numpy, matplotlib, mutagen, pyloudnorm, PyQt5 — all pinned
through uv.lock. Python 3.10+.

Adding a metric
Subclass Metric in metrics.py, implement compute(audio_file) -> data (the
heavy part, runs on the worker thread) and render(data, file_path) -> Figure
(cheap, runs on the GUI thread). Register the instance in the METRICS dict at
the bottom of the file — it shows up in the dropdown automatically.
