unique and genuinely ground-breaking... a permanent fixture in my DAW output channel from now on Hugh Robjohns (Sound On Sound Magazine)
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.
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:
These tools help you achieve bold, balanced dynamics and avoid over-compression and distortion.
an essential tool for assessing the way music finds a place in the loudness managed streaming world Bill Lacey (Resolution Magazine)
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.
Compare your track’s PSR and PLR to references. Spot poor dynamics in verses or choruses.
Set genre-appropriate profiles, use Peak-Aware for insight, and confirm PSR targets.
Match PLR to platform specs and avoid unwanted normalization surprises.
I instantly loved this plugin. Much more than useful, it's really addictive, and for sure will win a place with many engineers. Dynameter will never be turned off on my mastering sessions! Norberto Cuevas
Absolutely brilliant! Easy to use and gives you an instant and clear overview of the dynamics (in the form of short-term peak-to-loudness ratio) at any given moment + the whole recording, in real time. Really useful. Sigurdór Guðmundsson
Dynameter is great! It's like a zoom lens for the dynamics of my music; I can see what's going on measure by measure, or zoom out and get an overview of the whole song or album! Ensuring dynamic consistency and compliance has never been so straightforward. Ian Stewart
