What is Dynameter?
Dynameter is not a loudness meter.
It's a dynamics meter designed to help you optimize the impact, punch, and power of your audio—no matter the playback system or streaming platform.
Loudness normalization is now standard across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TIDAL, and more. That means loudness isn't up to you anymore—but dynamics are.
Why Dynamics Matter More Than Loudness
If you sacrifice dynamics chasing LUFS targets, you'll lose impact without gaining volume.
Dynameter shows you exactly where your mix sits in realtime using:
- PSR (Peak to Short-Term Loudness Ratio): Reveals second-by-second dynamics. Now with Stereo, Mid/Side, and Multiband display modes.
- PLR (Peak to Loudness Ratio): Measures overall dynamic range for a track or album.
These tools help you achieve bold, balanced dynamics and avoid over-compression and distortion.
See Your Dynamics and Density Instantly
Tap into 30+ years of mastering experience
Dynameter's color-coding shows you how "healthy" your dynamics are. Stay in the green, yellow, or orange and you're on track. Dip into red, brown, or grey? You may be over-compressing.
Real-World Use Cases
Mixing
Compare your track's PSR and PLR to references. Spot poor dynamics in verses or choruses.

Match PLR to platform specs and avoid unwanted normalization surprises.
