If you use Wavosaur for mastering / premastering, or signal analysis in a more general way, you need tools for audio analysis : spectrum analyzers, phase analyzers, sonogram.
Wavosaur comes with analyzers, you’ll find them in the ‘tools’ menu, along with oscilloscopes & statistics about the sound file (maximum sample peak, RMS power, average value..).

But you can also use VST plugins (for some people it can be more convenient).
We have searched deep deep inside deep deep down inside into the web, to find the best free VST plugins for audio analysis, here’s the selection:

1) Spectrum Analysis

1.1) Voxengo SPAN


This spectrum analyzer uses FFT to display the signal frequency in real time.
You can freeze the display, and use the mouse to shows dB values / Frequency value
Frequency is displayed in Hz and in musical note.
The Voxengo SPAN analyzer also displays statistics : RMS power, and it features a clipping detection.

It is worth mentioning these plugins too, freeware!

1.2) Mdsp SmartElectronix Fre(a)koscope

Very nice, with interesting options for the spectrum display : linear/logarithmic/semitones ..
Adjustable size for the FFT buffer. Had sometimes display problem with Wavosaur.

1.3) BlueCat FreqAnalyst

Like the previous VST effect, this one can show spectrum of left / right channel or both, has a “hold peak” feature that is interesting, when dealing with EQ level in your mix.

Edit:

We just have found this pretty nice analyzer somewhere on our harddisk :

Dust Analyzer:

It provides three modes : spectrum / scope / phase , with “hold peak” option, freeze option, dB/Freq display with mouse, linear / logarithmic scale

Product Info

A/B Switch is a free and open source VST (2.4 and 3) audio plugin. This utility lets you switch with one simple click between 2 audio inputs. This plugin is a port of the A/B Audio & CV Switch rack extension for the VST world.

Use the switch as a comparison (A/B testing) tool

Its one-click instant switching capability lets you:
  • easily audition 2 different versions of audio sources (with an option to soften the transition to eliminate clicks and pops)

Use the switch in your production

Since the switch can be automated, you can use it in your production to simplify some tasks, for example:
  • switch between 2 mutually exclusive audio tracks at various points in your mix (you automate the switch vs automating mute/unmute on 2 tracks)
Although designed as a utility, the switch can be used very creatively as well!

Look & Feel

Installation

Download the plugin (see sidebar), unpack and follow the instructions in the included README.txt file. At this time, the plugin is available for macOS 64bits and Windows 64 bits.

Usage

Audio Switch

  • Input A corresponds to the 'primary' input of the audio plugin (Audio In 1 & 2 in Reason device)
  • Input B corresponds to what is usually referred to as the side chain for the audio plugin (Optional Audio In 3 & 4 in Reason device)
  • Output corresponds to the 'primary' output of the audio plugin (Audio Out 1 & 2 in Reason device)
  • You can add a label for each input
  • Use the knob to select between A and B

    • What to do when you hear clicks and pops

    If you hear clicks and pops when you switch, you may want to turn the SOFTEN button on: this does a very short (64 samples) linear cross-fade between the 2 input sources, thus softening the transition. The waveform at the top of the screenshot shows an abrupt switch between 2 sources which results in an audible click. The bottom waveform shows the result when the SOFTEN button is on.
