Blue Cat Audio has released an update for its multiple tracks audio analyzers, Blue Cat’s FreqAnalyst Multi, Oscilloscope Multi, and StereoScope Multi.
The new versions of the three plugins come with an updated zoomable graphical user interface to improve readability on any type of screen.
And audio analysis is now performed in the background, which greatly improves CPU usage and does not affect audio performance anymore, whatever the number of instances running in a session. Thanks to this new design, the spectrum analysis precision setting can now be pushed up to 11, with twice more frequencies to display.
Presets management has also been improved, so that recalling your favorite analysis configurations is much faster. The update contains many other improvements and a few bug fixes.
