HOFA-Plugins has announced IQ-Analyser Standalone for Win & Mac. IQ-Analyser Standalone has the same features as the plugin but can be run without a DAW. Furthermore, curves can be viewed from a different machine using the IQ-Analyser NetAux plugin so it can be run on a dedicated machine. Of course it is also possible to monitor the audio input and even watch the audio currently played by media players (via Windows Audio on Windows and Soundflower on OS X).

In countless studios all over the world, the IQ-Analyser has become an essential tool for spectrum and sound analysis. With Version 2 it has grown even more powerful and sets standards in respect of workflow, possibilities and precision.

The new generation of the IQ-Analyser shows – like its predecessor – the frequency range as peak, hold, RMS and energy curves. The energy curve shows the frequency range considering the time factor.

Reference curves from various styles of music are onboard and you can also create and save your own references.

In addition, innovative features like high resolution frequency analysis, simultaneous analysis of multiple live-signals in one display, continuous frequency zoom or the interaction with the IQ-EQ make the HOFA IQ-Analyser an indispensable tool for anyone who wants a capable partner for his ears.
