Augvr

Real-time audio analysis and visualization, in your DAW or standalone.

Drop AUGVR on any track, bus, or master. It passes audio through completely untouched while analyzing the signal in real time across multiple dimensions: frequency content, stereo image, loudness, phase correlation, and waveform shape.

New in v1.2: Standalone App + AUGVR Server

AUGVR now ships as three products in one download:

• Standalone App: Visualize any audio source outside your DAW: Spotify, YouTube, system audio, your mic, any input device. macOS uses ScreenCaptureKit, Windows uses WASAPI loopback. Drop it on a second monitor while you work. Supports always-on-top mode.
• AUGVR Plugin (AU/VST3): The AUGVR you already know. Six visualization modes, full LUFS metering, zero latency, seven color themes. Better than ever.
• AUGVR Server (AU/VST3): A companion plugin that streams your DAW session audio directly into the standalone window over a lock-free shared-memory ring. Zero added processing, zero config, full transport and tempo sync. Insert on any track or bus, then select "AUGVR Server (Plugin)" as the standalone's input.

Everything updates live at up to 60 fps. Freeze the display at any moment to inspect a specific point in time. Rotate, zoom, scrub, and find exactly what you're hearing.

Visualization Modes:

• Spectrum Analyzer: Real-time FFT with logarithmic frequency scaling from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Auto-peak detection highlights the five most prominent frequencies. Click anywhere to pin a frequency marker with snap-to-peak.
• Oscilloscop: Stereo oscilloscope with 16,384-sample history. Four trigger modes. DAW tempo sync (1/16 to 32 bars, triplet & dotted). L / Both / Split / R channel modes. Hard-clipping detection. Up to 10x vertical zoom.
• Waveform: Scrolling stereo waveform with adjustable zoom and scroll speed. Transport-aware bar/beat ruler. Real-time clip indicators. Good for tracking dynamics over time.
• Lissajous: Classic X/Y phase correlation with concentric reference circles and live correlation coefficient. Zoom up to 4x. Reveals mono compatibility, phase issues, and stereo width.
• Spectrogram: Time-frequency waterfall with scrolling history. Log / Mel / Linear scales. 1024 to 8192 point FFT. Spectral tilt compensation. Useful for spotting resonances and harmonics.
• 3D Waterfall: GPU-accelerated 3D spectrum visualization. Configurable perspective and history depth. Toggle wireframe for a lighter, more technical view. Hover for frequency and dB readout.

Key Features:

• Full LUFS Metering Suite: ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU R128 compliant. Momentary (400 ms), Short-Term (3 s), Integrated (gated from transport start), plus Peak (PK) and True Peak (TP) readings. Reference line at -14 LUFS for streaming platform compliance.
• Tempo-Synced Oscilloscope: Lock the oscilloscope time window to your DAW's tempo, from 1/16 note up to 32 bars, with triplet and dotted divisions. Four trigger modes (free-running, rising edge, falling edge, peak hold) and up to 10x vertical zoom.
• Spectrum Auto-Peak Detection & Frequency Pinning: Click anywhere on the spectrum to pin a frequency marker. It snaps to the nearest peak. Markers show frequency and dB readout in real time. Reassign or delete with a click.
• Sidechain Analysis Overlay: Accept an optional sidechain input and overlay its waveform on the oscilloscope in a distinct color. Visually compare phase relationships, timing, and transient alignment.
• Freeze & Zoom: Pause any visualization to inspect a specific moment. Zoom and scrub through the frozen state. Works across all six modes.
• Seven Color Themes + Custom Palette: Built-in presets (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White, Cyberpunk, Purple) or pick your own custom colors for six independent channels.
• Resizable, Zero-Latency:Default window 990x600, scalable up to 4096x2560. Adjustable frame rate from 12 to 60 fps. Pure analysis: no added latency, no coloration of your signal. Settings persist across sessions.
