DRMeter is a comprehensive metering plug-in designed for stereo bus masters, providing accurate and reliable dynamic range measurement in modern production workflows. It faithfully recreates the classic TT DR Meter, offering engineers a vital tool to monitor and control dynamic range compression during mixing and mastering. Compatible with all major plug-in formats, including VST2, VST3, AAX for macOS and Windows, as well as AU for macOS, DRMeter integrates seamlessly into various digital audio workstations.

The plug-in features dual metering modes and specialized dynamic range (DR) measurement, visually represented through real-time bar meters and numeric displays. It also includes detailed sample peak program and RMS amplitude readings, helping engineers maintain balance and clarity in their audio projects. DRMeter’s measurement conforms to the DR standard established in 2009, which has become essential in evaluating the extent of dynamic range compression applied to popular music and supporting current loudness control practices worldwide.

DRMeter’s design focuses on accurate visual feedback aligned with the engineer’s listening experience, ensuring that the meters reflect the true dynamic characteristics of the audio. When paired with the DROffline utility, it enables comprehensive analysis by generating official DR values for individual songs or entire albums. This combination provides a powerful solution for real-time dynamic density monitoring and thorough preflight checks during the mixing and mastering process.
