Blue Cat’s StereoScope Pro is a powerful real-time stereo field analyzer designed for professionals who need detailed stereo image analysis. It offers multiple views and precise control over the stereo field, allowing you to monitor audio spread, detect phase issues, and ensure mono compatibility with ease. The plugin provides real-time feedback, with detailed measurements and zoomable displays for exact monitoring.
The StereoScope Pro lets you choose between different visualizations, including real-time stereo field displays, the evolution of the stereo image over time in both 2D and 3D, or output parameters that provide insights into the average position and spread of the signal. The 3D waterfall view is particularly useful for tracking the stereo image over time from various angles.
With four memory slots for storing curves, comparing tracks or effects setups becomes incredibly efficient. It’s perfect for comparing your own mix with commercial hits. The plugin also supports automation and MIDI output, allowing you to control other effects in real-time by generating automation envelopes or sending MIDI CC messages based on the stereo field’s minimum and maximum positions and perceived audio spread. This powerful capability can be used within any host that supports MIDI or automation.
Like other Blue Cat Audio products, StereoScope Pro includes full MIDI control, automation support, and a customizable interface that allows for personalized workflow enhancements, such as window opacity control and skinning options.
