NAME
dr14_tmeter - compute the DR14 value of the audio files according to the algorithm described by the Pleasurize Music Foundation. Visit: http://www.dynamicrange.de/

DESCRIPTION
DR14 T.meter is a free and opens source command line tool for computing the Dynamic Range of your music according to the procedure used in the off-line meter released by the Pleasurize Music Foundation. This tool is very useful to measure how is loud your music and for understanding that a good quality album always has also a good dynamic, and it's also useful for understanding the effects of the so called loudness war. usage: dr14_tmeter [-h] [-v] [-1] [-r] [-a] [-b] [-n] [-p] [-o OUT_DIR]
                   [-t {h,t,b,w,a}] [-f] [-d] [--hist] [--lev_hist]
                   [--spectrogram] [--plot_track] [--plot_track_dst]
                   [--compress {very_soft,v,soft,s,medium,m,hard,h,very_hard,vh}]
                   [--dyn_vivacity] [--files_list] [--quiet]
                   [path_name] positional arguments:
  path_name optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --version show program's version number and exit -1, --disable_multithread
                        Disable the multi-Core mode -r, --recursive Scan recursively the subdirectories -a, --append Append all results in a single file; it should be used
                        in couple with -r -b, --basic_table Write the resulting tables in the basic format -n, --turn_off_out do not writes the output files -p, --print_std_out writes the full result on the std_out -o OUT_DIR, --outdir OUT_DIR
                        Write the resultings files into the given directory -t {h,t,b,w,a}, --tables {h,t,b,w,a}
                        Select the output files to be written. h=html t=text
                        b=bbcode w=mediawiki a=all_formats -f, --file Compute the DR14 of a single file and exit -d, --dr_database Output file compatible with the DR database at
                        http:///www.dr.loudness-war.info --hist Plot the histogram of dynamic of a single file and
                        exit --lev_hist Plot the histogram of the saples levels of a single
                        file and exit --spectrogram Plot the spectrogram of a single file and exit (beta) --plot_track Plot the track of the given file and exit --plot_track_dst Plot the track in a cool manner of the given file and exit --compress {very_soft,v,soft,s,medium,m,hard,h,very_hard,vh}
                        Perform the dynamic compression on a single file and
                        exit, the resulting track will be written in a temp
                        directory --dyn_vivacity Plot the graph of the dynamic vivacity of a single
                        audio file and exit --files_list takes a files list and compute the DR of each file, if
                        no files are specified, it reads from STDIN --quiet Quite mode
