First, please do not use ‘max’ as a variable name. It is the name of the max function (obviously) and variable names take precedence over function names in MATLAB. This is called ‘overshadowing’ a MATLAB function name, and is to be avoided. (I am surprised that your code actually works beyond the first iteration because of that.)
Second, subscript the results:
maxv = zeros(1,50)
rmsv = zeros(1,50);
for ii= 1:50
maxv(ii) = max(x(:,ii); % ideally this would save the max of x all in one file called 'max', each column corresponding to the max of each wav file stored in x.
rmsv(ii) = rms(x(:,ii)); % ideally this would save the rms of x all in one file called 'rms', each column corresponding to the rms of each wav file stored in x.
% and further analysis can be performed here.
end
That should work, and give you correct results.
Since MATLAB uses column-major evaluations,.you might be able to do that entirely without the loop:
maxv = max(x);
rmsv = rms(x);
