In this week's Friday Free Plug-in, we are featuring SpectrumAnalyser from SIR Audio Tools. SpectrumAnalyzer offers a lot of opportunities to display the spectral content of your audio material and helps you create a better mix. Our favourite feature is the internal auxiliary functionality which m. This plugin is a Spectrum Analyzer and can be a lifesaver if you’re mixing on headphones, using smaller speakers or don’t have a well acoustically treated room. I find this plugin particularly useful for finding the prominent frequencies of a kick drum or bass guitar and see how you can get them to work around each other frequency wise.

2D / 3D Full Featured Parametric Multi Channel Spectrum Analyzer ( VST / AU and AAX )
Welcome to the world of Oscarizor Pro. Parallel waveform, spectrum & stereo field comparison in 2D and 3D using side-chaining and 255 send/receive channels (up to 10 channels parallel) is the power of Oscarizor Pro – especially the multi channel spectrum analyzer in VST / AU and AAX variants. Use DAW host synchronization to exacly compare waveforms. Nearly an unlimited count of instances inside your DAW projects is possible. Waveforms and spectrums are displayed with wonderful filled/lined graphics using blending, blending types, smoothing and antialiasing. Choose from common colors to beautify your dB or amplitude scaled view. Use the custom UI coloration, free resizing capabilities and innovative control multi panel to optimize your workflow. Read about the features of Oscarizor Pro.

2D multi channel waterfall
Use the 2d waterfall in parallel, stereo, M/S and/or overlay mode.
3D multi channel waterfall
Use mountains, bars, cylinder or tube 3d waterfall models with 2 light sources and emissive, ambient, diffuse and specular light controls. The highly optimized and customizable SA 3D Engine 2.0 renderer supports additional parameters like model width, depth, back face culling and perspective control.
Parallel and overlay view modes & 10 channels simultaneous view
Parallel mode shows all active channels in parallel mode from top to bottom instead of showing them in overlay mode.
3D multi channel spectrum analyzer & oscilloscope
Use a single analyzer or one of the combined views.
3D Rotation, positioning and zooming
Bpm Finder Vst
Use the 360 degrees three axis 3d rotation, free positioning and zooming.
Compression analyzation
See exactly what your compressor effects.
Transient analyzation
See exactly how transient controllers change your signal.
Multi channel stereo spectrum analyzer
Analyze which frequencies are interferencing.
Multi channel correlation meter
Have just one look to see that everything is fine with your channel correlations.
Stereo 3D combined and overlay mode
Deactivate the grids and have an exclusive view to the signals.
Multi channel gonio meter
Make reliable judgments about your stereo image.
Channel naming & solo/hide controls
Enter the channel name, choose the color and turn solo/hide on/off for every channel.
Freely Resizeable GUI from very small to enormously large
Freely resize the effect window by dragging the bottom right corner, the multi panel controls are dynamically arranged depending on the UI size.
Waveform smoothing
Smooth the waveforms from the common visualization to…
… medium smoothed or …
… maximum smoothed waveforms.
Absolute view for better analyzation
Shows the waveforms in absolute mode. Negative waveform parts are transcoded to positive parts.
Custom waveform coloration
