==NAME==

dr14_tmeter - compute the DR14 value of the audio files according to the algorithm described by the Pleasurize Music Foundation. Visit: http://www.dynamicrange.de/


==HOMEPAGE==

==DESCRIPTION==

DR14 T.meter is a free and opens source command line tool for computing the Dynamic Range of your music according to the procedure used in the off-line meter released by the Pleasurize Music Foundation.
This tool is very useful to measure how is loud your music and for understanding that a good quality album always has also a good dynamic, and it’s also useful for understanding the effects of the so called loudness war.



== Usage ==
       usage: dr14_tmeter [-h] [-v] [-1] [-r] [-a] [-b] [-n] [-p] [-o OUT_DIR]
                          [-t {h,t,b,w,a}] [-f] [-d] [--hist] [--lev_hist]

                          [path_name]
==Options==
       positional arguments:
         path_name

       optional arguments:
         -h, --help            show this help message and exit
         -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
         -1, --disable_multithread
                               Disable the multi-Core mode
         -r, --recursive       Scan recursively the subdirectories
         -a, --append          Append all results in a single file; it should be used
                               in couple with -r
         -b, --basic_table     Write the resulting tables in the basic format
         -n, --turn_off_out    do not writes the output files
         -p, --print_std_out   writes the full result on the std_out
         -o OUT_DIR, --outdir OUT_DIR
                               Write the resultings files into the given directory
         -t {h,t,b,w,a}, --tables {h,t,b,w,a}
                               Select the output files to be written. h=html t=text
                               b=bbcode w=mediawiki a=all_formats
         -f, --file            Compute the DR14 of a single file and exit
         -d, --dr_database     Output file compatible with the DR database at
                               http:///www.dr.loudness-war.info
         --hist                Plot the histogram of dynamic of a single file and
                               exit
         --lev_hist            Plot the histogram of the saples levels of a single
                               file and exit
         --spectrogram         Plot the spectrogram of a single file and exit (beta)
         --compress {very_soft,v,soft,s,medium,m,hard,h,very_hard,vh}
                               Perform the dynamic compression on a single file and
                               exit, the resulting track will be written in a temp
                               directory
         --dyn_vivacity        Plot the graph of the dynamic vivacity of a single
                               audio file and exit
         --files_list          takes a files list and compute the DR of each file, if
                               no files are specified, it reads from STDIN
         --quiet               Quite mode
