Measure, Understand, Correct. Visualizer provides essential audio analysis for quality audio production, with a standardized set of professional tools that allow you to work faster, avoid mistakes, repeat past successes, and build on the success of others.

Powerful and flexible audio analysis that gives you immediate access to the information you need, when you need it, through a unique and intelligent window system.

Unique intelligent window system

Visualizer's exclusive intelligent window feature allows you to select multiple view combinations, automatically resizing and aligning windows to maximize readability and cross-referencing across all screens. There is no need to switch between plugins to get the view combination you want. User-configurable presets allow you to instantly switch between layouts and interface sizes to create the workflow that best suits you.

Applications

Recording

• Calibration - Alignment
• Level setting: broadcast standards
• Mic'ing Up - Phase cancellation
• Stereo field - Problem frequencies
• Studio acoustics - Noise minimization
• Signal path checking: troubleshooting

Mixing

• Low-end control - Hidden frequencies
• Notching - Vocal placement
• Fundamental frequencies - Characteristic frequencies
• Masking: frequencies with EQ problems
• Stereo placement - Transferable mixing standards

Mastering

• A|B reference material: sonic fingerprints

• Headroom/Level capacity - Phase management

Comprehensive audio analysis

• Multiple level meters (Peak/RMS/K12/K14/K20, etc.)
• FFT spectrum analysis
• Stereo spectrum analysis
• Spectrogram
• Stereo spectrogram
• Vector scope
• Stereoscope
• Stereo polarity meter
• Correlation meter

Comparison mode

Comparison mode allows for the direct comparison of two sources within a single visualizer interface, using overlaid, side-by-side, and differential views. Ideal for examining the difference before and after a mastering signal chain or for comparing spectra in preparation for EQ matching or notching.

Detailed user configuration

• Intelligent window optimization
• Optimized control selection
• Frequency zoom and panning
• dB zoom and panning
• Peak hold control
• Color selection
• FFT window selection
• RMS window adjustment
• Optimized resource usage

Intelligent window system

This unique feature allows for the selection of multiple view combinations, resizing and aligning windows to maximize readability and cross-referencing across screens.
