What SIR Audio Tools SpectrumAnalyzer is
SIR Audio Tools SpectrumAnalyzer is an audio plugin for examining spectral content and a mix’s frequency balance. It combines FFT analysis with an analog-style parallel band-pass IIR filter engine, and both can run at the same time. Users can work with multiple analyzer slots, take snapshots, freeze the display, and use peak detection. The analog band analyzer includes an RMS display; a VU meter and stereo correlation meter are also available. A separate analyzer slot can display the mid/side signal. Its auxiliary feature sends audio between SpectrumAnalyzer instances, provided the DAW runs them in the same process and memory space. The plugin is not a standalone program and must run inside a DAW, with Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, and Pro Tools named as examples. Formats include VST, VST3, AU, and AAX for Windows and macOS. The listed requirements are Windows 11 or newer or macOS 10.13 or newer, 8 GB RAM, and 200 MB disk space. The free edition is free; the full version is $39, paid once. SIR Audio Tools is headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany.
