PAZ Analyzer shows frequency response, stereo distribution, phase problems and peak and RMS levels to help with mixing and mastering.

The plugin analyses the spectrum in either 52 or 68 bands with peak or RMS response and adjustable response time. The stereo position display reveals how loudness is distributed across the stereo field, while the phase display points to out-of-phase content. You can load the full analyser with all displays or just individual components, and results can be saved as a text file.
