Dynamic Range Meter
Measure a block-based peak-to-RMS DR estimate, crest factor, and clipped-sample count.
What this tool tells you
What it does
Use this when you want to inspect the peak-to-RMS relationship of an audio file alongside crest factor and clipped samples.
How to use it
Open a file and review the block-based DR estimate, crest factor, and clipping count. Compare like-for-like material when you want to understand differences across versions.
How to interpret it
This DR result is a block-based peak-to-RMS estimate, not a universal mastering grade. Higher or lower values can fit different material and production goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a DR score?
- This tool reports a block-based peak-to-RMS DR estimate. Higher and lower values describe different measured peak-to-RMS relationships; interpretation depends on the material and production intent.
- What can cause a lower DR score?
- Compression and limiting can lower this peak-to-RMS estimate. A lower result is not, by itself, a judgment of mastering quality.
