- Comprehensive full-screen support;
- Meter configuration is now built into each meter;
- Traces have their own spectral analysis settings.
To celebrate its release, Audiofile is offering an introductory discount on Spectre for only $49.99, 50% off the original $99.99 price, for a limited time.
Pricing and Availability. The updated Audiofile Spectre is currently featured on the Mac App Store and is available for a limited time for $49.99, 50% off the original price. More information is available at the Spectre website.
Looking at the site I don’t see mention of these running as VST or AU. Are they really just stand alone?
If it’s like previous versions it’s a standalone App. But you can route audio from your DAW into it using something like Soundflower.
Au and VST included!
Actually I also remember using it over a network too.
Hi
I have been Beta testing the most recent version with Daven the developer and it runs as an audio unit and vst……as well as stand alone.

Sorry folks, wrong post…mind went from one web site to another, and ended up writing the wrong post on the wrong site….oops
so it’s not a plugin?
or is it ?
Pff, even with a 50% discount, 50 dollars is quite steep. I wanted to get it but then I saw the price…
Not sure i agree. It’s not that multichannel analyzers are easy to come by.
i just wish they support this, one of my main issues with audiofile has been support and lack of documentation.
