Introduction
SPAN is a real-time “fast Fourier transform” audio spectrum analyzer plug-in for
professional music and audio production applications. For the most part it was
derived from Voxengo GlissEQ dynamic parametric equalizer and reproduces its
spectrum analysis functionality.
SPAN provides you with a very flexible “mode” system which you can use to setup
your spectrum analyzer preferences. You may specify Fourier block size in samples,
FFT window overlap percentage, spectrum's visual slope. Beside that you can choose
to display secondary spectrum of a desired type (e.g. real-time maximum, all-time
maximum). Spectrum can be smoothed out visually for an easier examination.
SPAN supports multi-channel analysis and can be set to display spectrums from two
different channels or channel groups at the same time. Spectrum's color can be
chosen to taste.
SPAN also features output level metering with adjustable ballistics and integration
time, K-system metering (including calibration K-system metering). SPAN displays
level metering statistics, headroom estimation and clipping detection. Correlation
metering is available as well.
