==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==

{{Home}}

==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.
