See Your Sound | VISION 4X from NOISIA & Excite Audio!

Excite Audio announces VISION 4X, a VST/AU/AAX analyser plugin that goes further, deeper and gets more precise than any other to give you a deeper understanding of your sound than ever before.

VISION 4X combines four custom built visual analysis tools that work simultaneously in real time, including a spectrogram, bar graph, waveform and phase correlation meter. Each analyser is displayed inits own resizable window, allowing you to scale the plugin’s UI to suit your workflow.

Perfectly sync VISION 4X to your DAW and customise the analysis timeframe to any project. Choose to run the analysers continuously, or loop a section of time and let them overlay. Alternatively , if you want to hone in on a particular sound, set the plugin to retrigger whenever a MIDI signal is received–ideal for comparing kicks in real time.

KEY FEATURES
● 4 real-time, high-definition visual analysers
● Customisable and resizeable layout
● 10 Colour Maps designed for maximum information density
● Customisable Frequency Range and dB Range for analysis
● Freeze Display and Zoom-In functionality provides even deeper
analysis
● Focus the colour map on specific frequencies with Map Curve/Tone
Bias
● Sync analysis timeframe to your DAW
● 2 Display Modes - Continuous visualisation or Overlay for visualisation
that loops over a chosen time interval.
● MIDI retriggering - Refreshes all analysers whenever MIDI is received.
● Information Bar shows pitch, note, dB and timing information (A3
+7ct,-3.2db, bar 2.1.1)
● Stereo/Left/Right/Mid/Side modes
● Presets designed by Noisia
● M1 Native

SPECTROGRAM
VISION 4X’s powerful spectrogram provides enhanced low end resolution than any other, offering access to more information about the frequencies in your mix. Freeze the visualiser for a snapshot of your sound,zoom in to get a close up of the frequency spectrum, and navigate the display to discover details that other wise could be missed.

A selection of Visualisation modes allow you to see your sound in whatever way you require. Transient mode is designed for showing the start and end point of notes, Harmonic mode gives a more detailed look at the harmonic content of a signal, and All-round offers the best solution for a general overview of your audio.

Customise the spectrogram’s display with ten Colour Maps to choose from, each one specifically selected for maximum information density when analysing sound. Brightness can be biased towards the low or high frequencies using Map Bias, and Range Hz and Range Db sliders give you total control over the frequency and volume range of the display.

BAR GRAPH
VISION 4X’s bar graph is a fully customisable spectrum analyser that can highlight the gain levels of the sustained frequencies in your sound.

Choose to get an overview of how frequencies are distributed in your mix, or an intricate analysis, by varying the amount of bars shown in the graph. The Speed of the bar graph’s movement can be adjusted to run alongside your track however you see fit, and you can easily spot peak levels using the Peak Hold sustain control. VISION 4X also has a Spectrum Highlight feature that indicates resonant frequencies, which can be tailored for sensitivity and matched with the colour coding of the spectrogram.

Understand and improve the balance of your mix by comparing it with reference curves from a range of genres, generated through in-depth analysis of hundreds of tracks. Each reference curve has an average and a maximum value line, with overshooting clearly indicated in red – the perfect visual feedback tool for assurance in your mixing decisions.

WAVEFORM
As well as the spectrogram and bar graph, Vision 4X features a waveform analyser that enables you to carefully inspect your sound source. Alongside the plugin's other visualisers, you can use the waveform analyser to magnify soundwaves and gain valuable pitch, volume and timing information, with an intuitive colour-coded display.

The waveform analyser is accompanied by VU and RMS metering tools, allowing you to assess volume and loudness levels with ease. Keep track of the headroom for your mix with an overshoot highlighting feature that informs you when levels are going above 0dB.

PHASE CORRELATION METER
Explore the stereo dimensions of your sound with VISION 4X’s phase correlation meter, a tool that gives you an impression of your stereo spread and helps you to determine phase differences between the left and right channel. Any phase issues are clearly displayed along the centre line, helping you to maintain alignment and prevent any loss of audio when you’re converting to mono.

It's been super exciting and educational building this. Very proud it's out there 🙏

[LEKTRIQUE]

AMAZING! non-FL Producers finally have a Wave Candy alternative ^^ This is going to make a lot of people happy!

[alexanderkashapov]

Wooow! The design of the plugin has already won my heart 💔

[lavinchi]

Very helpful Plug!!!Thank you so much!!

[tranceemerson]

I have had those days where my snare disappears on beat 3 in bar 42, and it would be nice to know where all that energy went, because I solo it and there it is.. lol
Thy Phase invert, my liege.

[bryanmatthews]

keep getting the message "your GPU does not meet the minimum system requirements to run this application". Please help!!

Do these Guys have any Tutorials on How to Use there Plugin? Like how the use it....

[vincenzomancuso]

Tested on Reason 11 in VST in the channel is Battery 4 NI. produces overload on the DSP, creating clicks and drops.
i try it on live 11 and i hope i don't have the same problems

[GTSongwriter]

I looked at a few videos and decided they are missing a important feature. The ability to "reverse" via a Dial. If you was able to spin the dial from right to left to be able to review the visual backwards and then forwards. Like a search dial feature.

[larrycavallucci]

does the screen in the bottom left have two distinct waveforms so that I can tell with one of them what the results of compression is, like a before and after compression result.

[hansmayer]

Unfortunately I cannot find the standalone version in Windows 10 after installation.
Where is it supposed to be found?
Also, I have not received a response to my query of 01/05 (545344)

[bryceheffinger]

Sick, they need to keep on with the plug in game. Transient shaper next ? Or something alike with 3 sample inserts to build click, body, tail….

[AdoneSound]

what about per frequency phase analyzer

[musicxtech]

hmm i checked it out.
For those looking for an TC Clary M alternative, this ain't it.
First, this doesn't have a separate plugin to output a parallel audio to an external Standalone APP.
u can only use digital mixers (e.g. RME TotalMix) to route within ur OS to use the Standalone App.
Which means many will only be able to use plugin version. kinda... defeats the whole purpose of a pro analyzer plugin which usually allows users to use with an external monitor.

[thwelly]

Why I can not adjust the window to my monitor size? There is given a minimal size by default witch is to big for my monitor special for that. That's absolut a no go, that the Window has a fix full size as a plugin.

[MikeDeanOfficials]

Its good but missing lots of features, no one has done one that "does it all" yet..

[torre-calendacion]

I think this tool is mostly used for audio restoration, cleaning and forensics.

[MrBryonia]

Je ne vois pas l'intérêt de voir ? Si on ne peut pas modifier visuellement le son ? Juste pour voir ?? Whouaa sincèrement pourquoi un tel effort ?

[djsirprice]

LOL, U didnt say ANYTHING about what it does or shows it. You just talk & talk about you have done "something great" and wasted my time. Sadly, because I was honestly curious!
