Earrape Maker

The tool provides a controlled path to generate and validate loud audio for testing, benchmarking, and quality assurance across devices. It accepts a seed or generated tone, a target loudness in dBFS, duration, sample rate, and channel configuration, then outputs an adjusted file with associated metrics. This supports repeatable experiments for limiters, compressors, and encoders. The architecture emphasizes auditability and repeatability, ensuring that loudness targets can be reproduced in different environments.\n\nConceptually, the system computes the required gain to reach the requested dBFS, evaluates peak and RMS levels, and applies a chosen processing mode. Hard clipping enforces a strict ceiling, soft clipping provides rounded distortion to reduce harshness, and limiter mode offers dynamic range control with headroom constraints. Optional normalization and dithering stabilize final levels and minimize quantization artifacts.\n\nThe tool benefits audio professionals, QA teams, game/film sound designers, and researchers who need deterministic loudness behavior for testing pipelines, cross-device alignment, and encoding workflows. Use cases include stress-testing limiters, benchmarking DACs, and validating encoding consistency. Outputs include a downloadable audio file, peak and RMS metrics, duration, and a concise report to support reproducible experiments.\n\nCore features balance required inputs (seed audio, target dBFS, duration, sample rate, channels) with optional enhancements (frequency shaping, multi-band constraints, dynamic range controls, dithering). It does not perform real-time streaming or music creation; it focuses on controlled loudness generation, measurement, and validation.
