| SpectraFoo provides
standards-based level metering, high-speed, high-resolution spectral analysis,
the unique Phase Torch, correlation metering, triggerable waveform display,
power balancing and a variety of power, envelope and spectral histories and
phase analysis on any number of input or output channels. The SpectraFoo range
is absolutely essential for broadcast and critical mixing &
mastering.
Metric Halo metering products provide a complete suite of
high-resolution, high-speed audio metering instruments. The system allows you to
create as many copies of each type of instrument as you like. Every copy is
independently assignable, movable, sizeable and configurable. This allows you to
create the exact metering set (or sets) you need.
Features
- Lissajous phase scopes (X-Y, vectorscope and stereo field display modes)
- Full featured audio frequency oscilloscopes
- Power balance meters
- Full featured level meters with physical unit calibration
- Full featured audio spectrum analyzers
- Spectragram spectral history meters
- Correlation meters
- Correlation history meters
- Phase Torch frequency-sensitive phase meters
- Envelope history meters
- Band Limited history meters
If your only use of the software is for metering your
mix, then SpectraFoo will provide what you need. If you want to be able to
measure your acoustic environment or verify the behavior of your external
digital devices, then you need SpectraFoo Complete.
System Features
Metric Halo metering software automatically maintains a
snapshot of the current system state, so every time you start working with the
system it is configured exactly as you left it. The software also provides a
variety of sophisticated configuration management features to maximize your
effectiveness while minimizing the time you spend tweaking the controls.
Parameter Management System
- Provides a complete parameter storage and retrieval library mechanism for all instruments in the system.
- Allows you to create named configurations for each of the various instruments and instantly recall them with a single mouse click.
- Modifications of parameter libraries can be saved over the originals or cloned to create new libraries.
- Includes a comprehensive set of instrument presets to allow you to get the most benefit from your system immediately.
Window sets
- Allows you to create a complete snapshot (meter positions, visibility, configuration, channel routing, etc.) of the entire state of the system and save it as a preset document
- Allows you to create a complete snapshot and assign it to a hot key for instant one-key access to various metering configurations
Link groups
- Flexible linking system to allow you to keep all of the parameters associated with a group of instruments linked.
- Can be used to link the setting on a stereo pair (or surround group) of instruments as well as synchronizing the settings of different types of meters that are all on the same channel
Plug-in Specific Features
Metric Halo metering products work equally as well as
plug-ins for the major digital audio workstations as they do as standalone
metering sets. Metric Halo metering software will run in both standalone mode
and as a plug-in to any of the supported digital audio workstations (most
notably digidesign TDM-based workstations and Sonic Solutions HDSP
systems).
Persistent instrument windows
- Plug-in versions use Metric Halo's
Persistent Plug-in¤Ô¤¡¤¿¤¬technology to allow you to open multiple metering and
control windows while providing access to the control surfaces of other
plug-ins - even in host applications (like Pro Tools) that do not normally
support multiple plug-in control windows
- Runs concurrently with other
plug-ins to provide instant feedback on any channel or an entire mix (while
you are making changes using your other plug-ins)
DSP efficiency
On systems with DSP hardware, uses only one DSP for up
to 24 channels of metering
Value
Plug-in, Standalone, and Plug-in driven Standalone
versions of the software are all included in the same package, allowing you to
work as the situation warrants.
