- Now legendary, the PMF’s TT DR Meter and its offline companion was created to provide a deterministic benchmark and was used by thousands of 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. An update was needed.
- Since the invention of the initial TT Dynamic Range meter, things have improved in the global audio metering marketplace. We now have world standards for True Peak, Loudness and Dynamic metrics, defined in ITU BS 1770 and applied in practice thanks to the European Broadcasting Union’s R128 and the Advanced Television Systems Committee’s A.

We’ve written about compression and the loudness war for years (see: Current Trend in the Recording Format Arena and CD Compression Depression for two examples), and we’re not alone in our frustration. The Pleasurize Music Foundation created TT Dynamic Range.
- TT Dynamic Range Meter makes it possible to provide releases with a whole-number dynamic value to be printed on the recording medium as a logo. I am trying to download the mac version and I get the PC one can someone send a link to the MAc version? DCocharro 27 June 2015 at 1:24pm. The same with me, can not find the mac version.
- TT Dynamic Range Meter is a Shareware software in the category Miscellaneous developed by Brainworx BX Control VST RTAS. The latest version of TT Dynamic Range Meter is currently unknown.

This is why the TT DR Offline Meter serves to measure the 'official' DR values with the advantage of being able to measure an album within a few seconds. The real‐time plugin TT Dynamic Range Meter however, provides accurate numerical values as a TRUE PEAK meter and serves as a guide for the available dynamic range and the approximate DR‐Value that you. DOWNLOAD 4.17 mb: TT Dynamic Range Meter v1.4a (freeware) In January 2009, The Pleasurize Music Foundation launched a wide-ranging initiative for ending the 'Loudness War' being waged by successive music releases.

Killing Technology is an ongoing series that dives into the science behind the music, taking the classic 1987 Voivod album as its inspiration.
Every week we get a question that goes like this, “Now that I know what dynamic range is and why it’s important, how can I measure it?”
Technically speaking, there are a lot of tools that will actually do this, yet very few of them are readily available. We have standardized on the Tischmeyer Technology (TT) meter popularized by the Pleasurize Music Foundation and recommended by Ian Shepherd’s fantastic Production Advice site. The TT Meter implements an open source specification on how to measure dynamic range that you can read here. If reading this document makes your head spin, no worries, since Pleasurize provides several useful pieces of software that do the dirty work for you: a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plugin, a foobar2k plugin, and a standalone application that they call the Offline Meter. Mac app store download crossed out.
The VST plugin is meant to integrate with a digital audio workstation (DAW) like Logic Pro or Pro Tools. It also does not give you a final DR score but rather a real-time estimate as you are mixing and mastering a track, i.e. it’s fairly useless to the average headbanger like you and me.
If you are already know how to use a DAW, then you obviously know how to install and use a VST plugin. Take note, the original Pleasurize version is technically no longer free. Brainworx acquired the rights to distribute it and now charges $99 for an updated version that can be downloaded here.
To me, foobar2k is still the defacto free Windows player on the market. It’s insanely rich plugin architecture and vibrant developer community makes it a top choice among audiophiles. And luckily, Pleasurize offered a TT Meter plugin that seamlessly integrates with foobar2k. Well almost. The original plugin had an idiotic expiration date of August 2011. Don’t download that one (v1.0), it won’t work without back dating your system’s clock. Luckily, the original developer of the TT foobar2k plugin offered an update that removed the expiration period. Unfortunately, the original link is no longer valid. But don’t fret, we got you covered:
1) Download and install the latest foobar2k executable from their official release page
2) Download and save the foo_dynamic_range_1.1.1.zip file to your Desktop
3) Double click the foobar2k executable and install (click “Next” a lot, you know the drill)
4) Start foobar2k
5) Add some music using the File->Open… or Ctrl+O hot key:
foobar2k loaded with Carcass – Heartwork FDR
6) Click Library->Configure:
7) Highlight Components, then click the Install button:
Components
8) Use the Windows Explorer to point to the foo_dynamic_range_1.1.1.zip file you saved in Step 2:
Download google play books to mac. It's all we need to read!'
9) foobar2k will add a new line under the list of plugins and warn that it needs to restart:
Restart
10) Hit Ok and then return to the Components screen to verify that the Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1 has been loaded successfully. Your screen should look like this:
11) Click Ok, now highlight the music you want to measure, hit the right mouse button, and select Dynamic Range Meter:
Highlight music and right click to see the Dynamic Range Meter option

12) That will start the measurement process:
13) After the measurement stops, right click on the DR window and click Show Log:
Show Log
14) The final log will display the individual track scores as well as the final aggregate measurement:
That’s it! To measure more music, just add more files to your default play tab, right click, select Dynamic Range Meter, right click again after measurement, select Show Log, etc.
The Windows Offline Meter only supports WAV and MP3 formats. That means if you are a FLAC head like me, you need to first decompress your files (or other lossless codec) into WAV. There are many, many applications that will do this for you including a free online based one.
Both the Windows and Mac version are visually and functionality equivalent with respect to measuring DR. However, the Mac version is a bit more feature rich. It not only supports additional codecs (AAC, ALAC, AIFF, and Quicktime), but will also scan a directory full of files as well as log the current measurement to an external file.
Here is how to use it:
1) Download the offline TT Meter for Windows or Mac
2) Install the application
3) Start it:
Offline Meter
4) To measure a WAV or MP3 file (or set of files), hit the Load button (on Mac you use Apple+O as well), it will bring up a Windows Explorer screen:
5) Now select the file or set of files to measure. Note that unsupported codecs will not be visible in this window. After selecting the file, press the “Open” button to begin the measurement process:
Final score
In order to get a final DR score you will need to measure all tracks on an album and then take the average of them.
Bare in mind that highly compressed music that has been encoded into MP3 can give slightly different DR scores than their lossless counterparts. So when in doubt, measure a lossless version of the track or album in question.
Also now that you know how to measure dynamic range, don’t forget to submit your findings to the unofficial DR Database so everyone can read the bad news!
