Product Description

• DROffline MkII File Analyzer The official DRi (integrated Dynamic Range) and R 128/A85 measurement app
• plus a whole lot more! MAAT’s DROffline MkII is the batch measurement companion application to their official DRMeter MkII real-time DR + R128 measurement plugin. Measure R128 Loudness
• DRi & More MAAT’s DROffline MkII batch measurement app is the only software that automatically measures all mandated R 128 parameters
• along with official DRi and a host of key metrics that your DAW may not display. All this in the background and out of your way. Offering essential options for musically justified
• file-based metering
• DROffline MkII offers 24 different measurements
• including integrated DRi Dynamic Range and PSR
• the emerging Sample Peak–to–Short Term Loudness Ratio. One file can be evaluated
• or an entire directory can be measured in batch mode
• all in the background while you continue to work. DROffline MkII generates both plain text and tab-delimited text logs
• with optional engineer and studio metadata
• so you can hand your clients good looking reports that they can use for replication
• distribution and as documentation for post
• provenance
• or chain of evidence. Attention Pro Tool & Logic users! DROffline MkII offers easy access to all audio statistics and metadata
• with an instant drag & drop interface. Speaking of drag & drop
• DRO2 works in conjunction with DRMeter MkII to run measurements when you drop an audio file onto a DRM2 instance in your DAW. What is DR? The DR algorithm
• related to PLR (Peak–to–Loudness Ratio) or “crest factor
• ” specifically measures the dynamic density or lack of dynamics caused by overly aggressive dynamic compression and limiting. Although the companion DRMeter MkII provides a manual measurement of the "official" integrated DR or DRi
• only DROffline and DROffline MkII can generate official values automatically and in the background. The complete DR metering system
• composed of the real-time DRMeter MkII plus the DROffline MkII batch processor
• was created by Friedemann Tischmeyer to address the need to generate a repeatable
• easy to understand numeric value. Seeing a meaningful and easy to understand indication of dynamic range inspires users to back away from hyper-compression. Is there a good reason to use DR? Unlike R128 and BS. 1770 meters
• DR measures dynamic range from the perspective of a music engineer’s needs. In contrast
• R128 and 1770 are designed to control loudness for commercials
• not measure dynamic range for music
• especially pop music. DR isn’t designed for broadcast loudness control
• it’s purpose is to gauge the amount of dynamic range reduction or the absence of dynamic range contrast. Designed by a member of the EBU ploud committee
• the same body that created R128
• DR informs an engineer about how much the mix has been “stepped on
• ” dynamic range-wise
• not about “will it pass through a broadcast chain without loudness reduction?” Divide & Conquer Bringing forward the legacy of the PMF’s legendary TT Dynamic Range metering system
• DROffline MkII works with all current international Loudness metrics plus emerging measurement techniques that provide more meaningful numbers than R128 methods alone. Granted
• R128 or A/85 is essential for all modern pro workflows
• but other Loudness meters only provide half the story. The companion DRMeter MkII is a plug-in that manually generates DRi values when applied to the loudest passages in a track
• and is the perfect real-time complement to DROffline MkII for quickly estimating both Loudness and subjective loudness.
