Blue Cat Audio have enlarged their audio analysis plugins offer with the release of the Blue Cat StereoScope series, two new stereo image analysis DirectX and VST plugins for Windows. They both analyze the stereo image in details and provide a visual representation of the signal in the stereo field. They also allow the detection of potential mono compatibility issues.

Blue Cat’s StereoScope Pro has specific features for single track analysis with MIDI and automation output, while Blue Cat’s StereoScope Multi uses Blue Cat Audio’s unique data sharing technology to analyze and monitor the stereo image of several audio tracks on a single screen.

These new plugins are available as separate products or within the Blue Cat’s StereoScope Pack Bundle.

Blue Cat’s StereoScope Pro is a real time stereo field analyzer with multiple views and MIDI/automation output capabilities. It is a powerful help to analyze how the audio signal is spread in the stereo field, and you can easily detect potential phase and mono compatibilities issues.

The stereo analysis can be controlled in details, and the precise measurements capabilities combined with the zoomable displays let you monitor what is exactly happening. Choose your preferred view for your needs: real time stereo field display, evolution of the stereo image over time or output parameters that explicitly describe the average position and extent of the audio signal in the stereo field.
