To create high-quality music and work with sound, it is extremely important to thoroughly understand your audio signal. Regardless of the task, signal visualization is a critically important tool. The Signal Analyzer plugin from Robin Schmidt is a powerful real-time audio analyzer.
It combines the functions of an oscilloscope and a spectral analyzer, allowing you to simultaneously see the waveform (time domain) and analyze the frequency composition (frequency domain). This gives a complete picture of the sound characteristics.
Main Features of Signal Analyzer
The plugin provides accurate data and flexible settings for detailed analysis.
Oscilloscope
Displays instantaneous changes in signal level and shape. Useful for detecting clipping, analyzing phase, evaluating dynamic processing, and adjusting transients.
Supports synchronization of the refresh rate with the period of the input signal, which ensures a stable image of periodic waves for easier analysis.
Spectral Analyzer
Shows the distribution of signal energy across frequencies. Helps to understand the tonal balance, identify resonances, and evaluate equalization.
The choice of resolution up to 32768 bands provides high detail, allowing you to distinguish close frequencies.
Additional Tools
For ease of analysis:
- Scaling: Separate scaling on the axes for detailed study.
- “Freeze”: Stopping the display for careful study of a moment or state.
- Export: Saving the frozen display in .png format.
Why Choose Signal Analyzer?
It improves the quality of your work with sound by providing objective visual information that complements auditory analysis. Helps to make informed processing decisions.
The clear interface and powerful features make it accessible for beginners and useful for professionals.
