Tt Dynamic Range Meter For Mac
Pleasurize Music Foundation has released version 1.3 of TT Dynamic Range Meter, a plug-in and standalone application for measuring the dynamic range in audio. From the manual: Out clearly‐defined goal is to discover and categorize over compression and to prevent overs with good true peak metering. We supply a whole number system from DR4 to DR14 to define the dynamic quality of a recording on one glance. In order to achieve this goal, we have conducted extensive experimentation and have decided to obtain the “official” DR Value from the TT DR Offline Meter.
Hi Frank, I have been using this plugin for several months now. I use it for the K metering and the dynamic range meter. Todays music has all the dynamic range sucked out of it due to the loudness wars with over compression. TT Dynamic Range Meter by Pleasurize Music Foundation is a Virtual Effect Audio Plugin. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin and an RTAS Plugin. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin and an RTAS Plugin.
A real‐time measurement would have certainly taxed the patience of users in determining the official and correct DR value. Changes in TT Dynamic Range Meter v1.3. The TT Dynamic Range Meter Plug‐in is unchanged since version 1.2a. The TT DR Offline Meter has two important new features:.
File/Folder Switch: You have the choice to measure a complete image file of a sound carrier or the complete content of a folder. In folder mode please make sure to measure the complete album and avoid double or missing tracks within the folder for correct results. Folder mode is required for proper measurement in case of varying peak headroom from track to track. This would cause deviating results if measured in file mode. The folder mode enables easy DR measurement of CDs in combination with grabber software. Logfile: If active the measurement process will write a logfile into the directory of the investigated folder.
The logfile contains information like the total number of tracks, official DR value, peak and RMS information. Use just the TT DR Offline Meter to get the official DR value! The Plug‐in is designed for true peak and dynamic monitoring purposes. The TT Dynamic Range Meter is currently available as a standalone application and VST plug-in for Windows PC (RTAS and AU version are planned for May 2009). Visit the for more information. The TT Dynamic Range Meter used to be available as a free download, but it indeed seems to be “members only” now. The “Our Aim” page also has some new text since I last checked it: We need your help!

In conjunction with the Pleasurize Music Foundation (PMF), has worked hard remodelling the TT DR Meter plug-in to get the same familiar and much-loved ballistics of the original, which over the years helped to preserve dynamics for modern pop releases. The only difference between the original and new DR meters is the removal of Correlation metering and the Mono Button.
These were in response to user requests, to reduce UI height so the new DRMeter takes up less screen real estate. They have implemented those in a free plug-in, the, which also includes solo buttons for L, R, MONO & DIFF, plus a left-right flip button and a useful Balance meter that we featured in a recent article. With regard to the new, Matt Digital say. Usable metering is an essential for any engineer, and the DRMeter´s measurement and display algorithms adhere to our guiding philosophy of enhancing your workflow and improving ergonomics through careful attention to the way you actually work.
Ballistics are meticulously tuned to achieve the best match between the aural impressions you hear, and the optical rendering by the meters. Likewise, the plug-in is 'light weight' demanding a minimum of CPU resources so it won´t slow down your host. The Back Story The DR algorithm, akin to PLR (Peak–to–Loudness Ratio) or “crest factor,” measures the dynamic density or lack of dynamics caused by overly aggressive dynamic compression and limiting. When the loudest spots of a song are measured, it gives the user an estimate of the 'official' DR Value. Seeing an indication of dynamic range inspires users to back away from hyper-compression.
The complete DR metering system, composed of the real-time DRMeter plus the DROffline batch processor, was created by Friedemann Tischmeyer to address the need to generate a repeatable, easy to understand numeric value. In response to the broadly publicised “Loudness Wars,” the (PMF) worked to raise awareness that oppressively compressed dynamics in pop music are not only counterproductive but sound often like crap! The PMF’s original TT DR Meter and its offline companion were groundbreaking in their time providing a deterministic benchmark and was used by engineers and consumers to measure and log the dynamic range of popular music releases around the world. Alas, as with all things digital, the TT DR Meter grew old, especially as the original meter was only available in 32-bit and so wouldn't work on current 64-bit architecture DAWs. An update was needed and MATT Digital has stepped up. The First Step The Maat DRMeter release is their first step in bringing forward the legacy of the PMF’s legendary TT Dynamic Range Meter, this “micro” version will soon be followed by its big brother. The upcoming, upgradable DRMeterMkII will feature all the modern metering algorithms, including True Peak Level and Loudness Units compliant with EBU R128 and ATSC A/85. MAAT explain.

We have paid particular attention to the DRMeter’s ballistics, which contributed to the original’s broad acceptance. We have tested the new DRMeter again and again against the original TT DR Meter to ensure a consistent user experience. In addition, DRMeter is modern, supporting all major plug-in formats including VST/VST3 and AAX for MacOS and Windows plus Audio Units for Mac and is priced at $35.
