“Fakin’ The Funk” Helps you to batch-detect the true quality of your audio files

Fakin' The Funk DJ utility
If you’re like most DJs, you’ve got a hard drive or two jam-packed with audio tracks. You’ve likely accumulated them over many years, from various sources and at varied quality.  If you want to produce the best quality mix set today it’s good to know the quality of the tracks you’re mixing.

Enter “Fakin’ The Funk“, a Windows-Only (Sorry MAC guy!) DJ tool that “helps you to detect the true quality of your audio files in one batch.”

That functionality is pretty cool in and of itself, but that name though? Nice…

In short, Fakin’ The Funk will allow you to import your entire loss and lossless audio collection (supported audio formats at this time are MP3, MP4/M4A, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, WMA, AAC, ALAC, MPC, SPX, SFX, TTA and WAV) and batch scan them to calculate and display bitrate and frequency. If the scan finds a wrong bitrate or lower peak-frequency, Fakin’ The Funk will show you the audio files actual bitrate.

Another nice feature is that Fakin’ The Funk can also detect upscaled files. So if an MP3 has been upscaled from say 128kbps to 320kbps, it will tell you that after you batch analyze.

After all your audio files have been analyzed you have the opportunity to then rename the lower-quality files, copy, move or send them to the recycle bin.

The totally free version of Fakin’ The Funk will detect up to 100 fake files but you can unlock the full version and reveal all results with a minimal donation of €9.99 ($10.75 USD). Well worth it to know you’re mixing only the highest quality audio files so you’re fans have the very best musical experience you can offer.

I think many DJs can benefit from this great utility. Weed out the bad and keep the good. If you find you have too many sub-par quality audio files Pulselocker is always an option; all files are 320kbps MP3.
