Blue Cat FreqAnalyst Pro

Blue Cat’s FreqAnalyst Pro is an advanced real-time spectrum analyzer offering detailed spectral analysis with extreme smoothness and high resolution. Building on the foundation of its free counterpart, this professional version provides enhanced control over time and frequency analysis, allowing users to fine-tune precision and rate, apply offset or slope adjustments, and even customize time response using attack and release parameters.

With the ability to display instant, peak, or average response for each channel on a single graph, FreqAnalyst Pro also includes zooming capabilities and coordinate display for precise spectrum measurements. Users can easily store and compare curves across multiple memory slots, and the added spectrogram view supports both 2D and 3D (waterfall mode) visualization, with full control over zooming and coordinate displays.

The plugin’s automation capabilities allow users to control other effects in real-time. By generating automation envelopes or MIDI CC messages, based on key spectral parameters like minimum/maximum frequencies and the energy center, users can manipulate effects with unprecedented precision. Furthermore, the transformation parameters (offset, amount, and reverse) offer additional flexibility in shaping these outputs, making it possible to use audio signals for dynamic effect control. Whether it’s controlling a filter with another instrument’s pitch or setting compression based on frequency, the creative possibilities are endless.

In line with Blue Cat Audio’s professional standards, the FreqAnalyst Pro is available in a variety of plugin formats for both Windows and Mac, supports full MIDI control and automation, and ensures optimal CPU performance by ceasing processing when silent. Additionally, it offers a customizable user interface with transparency and zoom options, a comprehensive undo/redo system, and smooth bypass activation for noiseless operation.
