Complete Suite of Metering Tools

• Insight provides a powerful combination of both established and innovative metering solutions for any type of audio work. The flexible interface features 5 distinct metering partitions:
• Spectrogram: View a detailed topographical map of your audio stream in 3D or 2D, and feed in any individual tracks or buses via Meter Taps.
• Spectrum Analyzer: Study the spectral content of your audio in real-time, with display options like Linear, Octave, Critical Band and more.
• Sound Field: Examine the behavior and balance of stereo and surround mixes, visualize spatial activity in real time, and quickly diagnose phase issues with the Stereo Vectorscope and Surround Scope.
• Levels: Monitor both True Peak and Loudness meters for immediate feedback on your project's levels.
• Loudness History: Visualize and inspect loudness over time, in real time or retrospectively, with the option to capture loudness data in an exportable log or graph

Loudness Compliant

• Insight is fully compliant with current loudness standards, with a number of forward-thinking tools to help ensure your audio adheres to these regulations:
• Fully compliant with BS.1770-1/2/3, Insight includes meters for immediate loudness calculation and True Peak detection, loudness calculation over time, and faster than real-time offline loudness calculation.
• Plot an infinite history of the loudness of your mix with the Loudness History Graph: use it for retrospective examination of your mix's loudness, or for real-time monitoring of loudness trends as they occur over time.
• Set your loudness targets and mark when any levels exceed them with Loudness Overflow Tracking, which writes automation to your DAW to capture loudness overflow alerts.
• Prove adherence to loudness standards by exporting a log or graph of your loudness data to clients, networks, broadcasters, and other legislation enforcers that require documentation.

Customizable and Flexible

• See it your way. Insight lets you choose the meters you want to view, customize them, and navigate to exactly the level of detail that you need:
• Size the plug-in to optimize your studio screen space and choose the meters appropriate to your workflow. You can then adjust each partition's size to best suit your preferences.
• Load one of Insight's 30+ presets, each designed for a different common workflow, or save your own most-used meter settings for easy recall.
• Take total control over how your audio is visualized: each meter provides numerous display options.
• Perform deep analysis with easy freezing, zooming and hovering within relevant meters for closer inspection, exploration, and data pinpointing.
• Tailor exactly which tracks and buses the Spectrogram monitors by adding Meter Taps to any track or bus.

Post and Broadcast Engineers

• Monitor your audio for compliance with recently passed loudness standards—like the CALM Act—with Loudness Meters and the Loudness History Graph.
• Ensure your audio won't clip in the analog domain with Insight's True Peak meters, fully compliant with the recently released BS.1770-3 technical specification.
• Easily visualize both the stereo and surround sound field of your mix to ensure a successful downmix.
• Assess how dialog and/or voiceover levels are balanced alongside your project's music and effects by routing tracks or buses to the Spectrogram via Meter Taps.
