No question, it’s all about the music. But as SonicScoop’s Justin Colletti observed here, visually-based measurement tools can make a world of difference in how we handle our audio.
Knowing this all too well, the sophisticated software developers known as Blue Cat Audio recently released the StereoScope Multi 2.0, which thoroughly updates their multiple tracks stereo field analyzer for VST, RTAS, AAX, Audio Unit and DirectX formats (32 and 64-bit).
