01Overview

DROffline is the batch companion to MAAT's DRMeter plug-in. It evaluates one audio file or an entire directory and reports official DR values, which are calculated across the full length of a track. The developer positions it as an entry-level option in the DR metering system, which was created by Friedemann Tischmeyer to give producers a repeatable, easy-to-read number for dynamic range.

Official DR Metering for Finished Tracks

The DR algorithm measures dynamic density, meaning how much a mix has been reduced by compression and limiting. DRMeter can estimate DR while you work in real time, but it cannot produce official values. DROffline fills that gap by scrubbing through an entire song and returning one official DR number.

Alongside DR, DROffline reports SPPM peak and RMS amplitude, so you can check loudness and peak levels in the same pass.

File and Batch Processing Workflow

DROffline works on a single file or in batch mode across a whole folder. This makes it practical for checking an album or a set of masters for consistent dynamic range.

The app supports 24-bit WAV and AIFF files with sample rates from 44.1 to 384 kHz. It runs as a standalone application on Windows and macOS, so it does not need a host DAW.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

What is the difference between DROffline and DRMeter?

DRMeter is a real-time plug-in that estimates DR while you work. DROffline is a standalone batch application that generates official DR values, which are calculated over the entire length of a song.

Which operating systems and file formats does DROffline support?

DROffline runs on Windows 7 and newer (32 and 64-bit) and macOS 10.9 or newer (64-bit only). It processes 24-bit WAV and AIFF files with sample rates from 44.1 to 384 kHz.

Does DROffline work as a plug-in inside my DAW?

No. DROffline is available in Standalone format only, so it runs as its own application rather than inside a host.
