# better-report

Makes sound reports better.

Turns the awkward CSVs into a beautiful self-contained HTML file, and with folders that have no CSV, it will make its own reports directly from the WAV files' metadata.

This means, even if you didn't receive any sound reports from the mixer, you can generate your own.


## Tested on CSV reports from:

- Sound Devices 888 (v11.00)
- Sound Devices 688
- Zoom F8n Pro

## Tested with WAV-files from:

- Sound Devices 888
- Sound Devices 688
- Zoom F8n Pro
- Pro Tools


## Good things

- Actually correctly sorted reports, by timecode by default.
- Will let you change the sorting while looking at it.
- Removes empty tracks, so everything lines up with the actual wav files.
- Less ugly than most software for viewing CSV-files.
- HTML is a format basically everyone can open anywhere, even on your phone.
- Redundant stuff that is the same for every single file gets moved to the top info.
- When generating directly from WAV files:
	- Information is put in header or a take list info column depending on if it actually changed
	- Info that may change between takes (Like sample rate, bit depth, the current date) are not just chucked into the header section from the recorder's current setting, as though it never changed during or since recording (Looking at you, Sound Devices)
	- Gives you a simple txt file for easily adding, removing and editing header fields as you see fit
