Hardwave Studios has recently released a free, full-resolution spectrum analyzer and metering plugin built around low-end visibility for production of harder styles of music.
Analyser runs a 4096-point FFT across 256 log-spaced bands with smooth Catmull-Rom curves, rendered through an embedded webview UI directly inside the plugin window with no external windows.
Analyser features
- SPAN-quality spectrum display up to 20kHz across 256 log-spaced bands.
- Phase correlation metering and per-band stereo width.
- Peak and RMS metering per channel, true peak detection, crest factor, and peak hold with slow decay.
- Flat, -3, and -4.5 dB/oct tilt display modes with A- and C-weighting.
Hardwave Analyser is available in VST3 and CLAP plugin formats for Windows and macOS (Linux coming).
