powerful visual analysis plugin with maximum accuracy. Developed in collaboration with electronic music trio Noisia, VISION 4X gives you the insight you need to prepare your tracks to compete with today’s best mixes, and the clarity to make the right mixing decisions with confidence – no matter how humble your setup.
Four visual dimensions:
VISION 4X combines four built-in visual analysis tools that run simultaneously in real time, including a spectrogram, histogram, waveform and phase correlation meter. Each analyzer appears in its own resizable window, allowing you to scale the plugin’s user interface to suit your workflow.
Customizable timeframe:
Perfectly sync VISION 4X with your DAW and customize analysis time frames for any project. You can run the analyzers continuously, or loop a section of time and let them overlap each other. Additionally, if you want to focus on a specific sound, set the plugin to retrigger when it receives a MIDI signal – ideal for comparing beats in real time.
Spectrogram:
VISION 4X’s powerful spectrogram provides improved low-frequency resolution, giving you access to additional frequency information in your mix. Freeze the visualizer for a snapshot of your sound, zoom in to get a close-up view of the frequency spectrum, and move around the display to discover details you might otherwise miss.
Color cards:
Customize your spectrogram display with ten color maps to choose from, each specifically selected to maximize the density of information in audio analysis. Brightness can be biased towards low or high frequencies using Map Bias, and the Range Hz and Range Db sliders provide full control over the frequency range and volume of the display.
Bar chart:
VISION 4X’s Histogram is a fully customizable spectrum analyzer that can highlight the gain levels of robust frequencies in your audio. You can get a general idea of how frequencies are distributed in your mix, or perform an in-depth analysis by changing the number of bands shown in the graph. The speed of the histogram movement can be adjusted as you see fit, and you can easily identify peak levels using the Peak Hold control.
VISION 4X also features Spectrum Highlight, which indicates resonant frequencies that can be tuned for sensitivity and matched to the color-coded spectrogram.
Understand and improve the balance of your mix by comparing it to genre-specific reference curves derived from in-depth analysis of hundreds of tracks. Each reference curve has a mean and maximum line, and the sweep is clearly marked in red – the perfect visual feedback tool to make sure your mixing decisions are correct.
Waveform:
Along with a spectrogram and histogram, VISION 4X has a waveform analyzer that allows you to closely examine the sound source. Along with the plugin’s other visualizers, you can use the waveform analyzer to magnify audio waves and gain valuable information about pitch, volume, and timing with intuitive color coding.
The waveform analyzer is accompanied by VU and RMS measurement tools, allowing you to easily evaluate VU and loudness levels. Keep an eye on the headroom for your mix with the overshoot highlighting feature, which informs you when levels exceed 0 dB.
Phase correlation meter:
Explore the stereo dimensions of your audio with the VISION 4X Phase Correlation Meter, a tool that gives you insight into your stereo space and helps you determine the phase difference between the left and right channels. Any phase issues are clearly displayed along the center line, helping you maintain alignment and prevent any audio loss when converting to mono.
