The only comprehensive Loudness metering solution, from the guys who helped pave the way for Loudness normalization.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a fine line between competitive and crushed. DRMeter MkII is the first Loudness meter plug\u2013in designed for not only general use, but specifically for music production. It\u2019s the only 1770 Loudness meter that displays channel\u2013specific trends and events by augmenting the mandated monaural measurement with classic L\/R metering. DRMeter MkII is also the first plug\u2013in to combine official integrated DRi<\/em>\u00a0dynamic range measurement with mandated R 128 and A\/85 Loudness.<\/p>\n With this product, MAAT premiers the Dynamic Deviation\u2122 function, an intuitive presentation of current dynamic density compared to Target Loudness. Dynamic density is the amount of dynamic contrast in a recording. DRM2 is also the first Loudness meter to display both Relative and Absolute scales simultaneously.<\/p>\n Current Loudness meters were designed to strictly conform to the 1770, R 128 and A\/85 Loudness measurements standards. While DRMeter MkII conforms completely to all international standards, with higher accuracy than many competing products, they wanted more and we think you will too. Conceived by MAAT\u2019s own Friedemann Tischmeyer, a member of the EBU\u2019s ploud<\/em>\u00a0group that created \u201cR128,\u201d DRMeter MkII addresses the needs of modern audio pros, who jump from commercial work and CD prep and mastering to an industrial promo soundtrack or VO for an overseas client.<\/p>\n For extra versatility, DRMeter MkII includes a native version you can run anytime, to meter outside of your DAW or plug\u2013in host. To use DRM2 standalone, you will usually need a \u201cvirtual audio device,\u201d an audio driver that provides a software \u201cdevice\u201d the operating system can use for patching. For Windows, they recommend VB-Audio\u2019s VB-CABLE. For macOS, they recommend Existential Audio\u2019s BlackHole. Both are free.<\/p>\n Relax. Whatever job walks in the door, you know your measurement needs are met. Rest easy knowing no matter what genre or flavor of content you produce, DRMeter MkII will guide you toward the best possible master for your specific deliver platform or medium. DRMeter MkII, the Loudness Meter for all of us.<\/p>\n Hiding behind DRMeter MkII\u2019s seemingly simple UI is a powerful premise. Eye candy is great for newbies, but can really get you down on a daily basis. DRMeter MkII packs every metric you may need into one resizable window that\u2019s easy on the eyes. Not only does the UI \u201cget out of the way,\u201d so you can be more productive, they\u2019ve incorporated industry\u2013first features that inform you of possible pitfalls without slapping you in the face.<\/p>\n They’ve included a round trip AAC codec, similar to the one iTunes uses, into our measurement and monitoring options so your iTunes mastering work will be spot on every time, while Dynamic Deviation allows you to navigate within the \u201cgravitation field\u201d between peak and Loudness normalization. By setting your personal Target Loudness level and a True Peak Threshold, you get instant feedback on positive or negative differences relative to your defined \u201cDynamic Margin.\u201d<\/p>\n Dynamic Margin equals Target Loudness minus TP Threshold and, BTW, the use of \u201cdeviation\u201d is significant. Positive values indicate more dynamic content than your Dynamic Margin, while negative values indicate less dynamic content.<\/p>\n DRM2 combines mandated R128 and A\/85 loudness measurements with an improved version of our DR dynamic range metering standard. DRM2 includes several industry firsts, all designed to help you be more productive.<\/p>\n With all the features and functionality of our original DRMeter, the thoroughly comprehensive DRMeter MkII makes Target Loudness tangible and easy to understand, while the round trip MFiT feature eases seamless leveling for iTunes delivery. In keeping with our emphasis on quality, DRMs increases your awareness of the limitations and requirements for other streaming and OTT music distribution channels. Plus, you get:<\/p>\n DRMeter MkII let\u2019s you manage your Target Loudness and leveling demands for Spotify, YouTube, iTunes and TIDAL with ease!<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/8v73NlEkE3I<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14797,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[3571],"product_cat":[30,29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14795","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-maat","7":"product_cat-mastering","8":"product_cat-mixing","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"downloadable","13":"virtual","14":"taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nNeed More?<\/h4>\n
Unobtrusive Power<\/h3>\n
Subtle Functionality<\/h4>\n
DRMeter MkII combines all mandated Loudness metrics with several new helpers. They\u2019ve added discrete left\/right measurements so you can ID channel\u2013specific trouble spots and track trends. They also measure all the time for all metrics, in the background, so you can jump from one measurement method to another and back, checking up on specific concerns without loosing the overall picture. They\u2019ve even added little details that make your day better, like \u201cdigital black\u201d or -\u221e indicators; Play, Pause and automatic controls for integrated measurement; an R128 Gate Disable for downward compatibility; and a True Peak disable option for broadcast folks that need SPPM as well. Did they mention factory and user presets so you can blip between client or program\u2013specific settings in an instant?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
