MMultiAnalyzer, new multitrack analyzer/sonogram from MeldaProduction

Here's a thought: what might be really useful on a plug-in like this (and doesn't seem like it would be hard to add because it would just be another kind of display option), would be to be able to have two tracks on the plug-in enabled, and have the option to make one of them only display where it overlaps the first track (I don't know, maybe this is already a feature option I missed). One track could be "main" and the secondary one "overlap".

This would be a more direct way of looking for masking issues without also having to see all the areas where the two curves don't coincide (which would make it easier in a busy mix with a lot of dynamic action in the waveforms, which can be visually distracting).

The user could also choose to color one light and the overlapping track much darker for a high degree of contrast to make the overlap even easier to see.

As an example, I might have the full curve be a bass guitar and the overlap curve be the kick drum. I might make the bass light yellow and the kick black. I would see the full bass track curve, but not the full kick drum---I would only see the area under the bass curve where the kick drum curve is also present, and no other part of the kick drum curve would be visible.

I could very easily spot areas where there was a high degree of coincidence between the two waveforms, and then do EQ cutting to the main track to compensate. I think it would speed up workflow somewhat for that particular kind of task.

Just a thought.

Well, I was thinking about it too, but it's actually not that simple. First, the displays may be slightly out of sync, that shouldn't be such a big deal though. That is worse however, is that such a view would be simplification as masking may happen even without actually overlapping the frequencies. But I'll think about that and do some tests.

Sorry, that was indeed not very clear : i mean that it is great for beats and transient-heavy material, as it shows "dots" at strongests impact points (while more quiet parts vanish pretty quickly), instead of showinf a "moutain skyline" like other spectrum analyzers do.
It sounds a bit dumb written like that, but i find it very efficient to work with

Ok folks, solo added to to-do list. Detailed settings - no I'm afraid. The things is the synchronization between the plugins. I'll think about it, but I doubt it right now. I also want to keep this one simple.

Hello, any estimates of when the solo function will be added? Also, please consider adding an "infinite" averaging, for example when averaging is knob turned all the way right. The Span plugin has both solo and infinite averaging, but I prefer Multianalyzer when comparing multiple tracks or before and after.
