Dynamic Range Metric - Track and Title - Feature Request

Will this feature in v1.3 only report an overall album DR value or will it also have track DR data. How about peak and RMS values? Will it show “over” clipping? If you display peak values could you please have an option for showing L/R because (L+R)/2 often won’t show clipping.

Both.

How about peak and RMS values? Will it show “over” clipping?

It will compute the “true peak” according to R128 standards. This is not cheap–it requires upsampling the source material and then the highest peak in the upsampled version, in order to accurately account for inter-sample overs, but it should produce the result you’re after.

We don’t plan on measuring RMS. As I understand it, in the R128 scheme, you’ll be using “Loudness” and “Loudness Range” similarly to how you would use “RMS” and “DR” in other systems.

If you display peak values could you please have an option for showing L/R because (L+R)/2 often won’t show clipping.

We are not planning to show per-channel info, but the peak values are based on the maximum sample peak from either channel, not the average, so no clipping will be hidden from you.

That’s clean. Thanks!
