Features Real Time Meters, Spectrum Analysis, Phase Scope, and Waveform Monitors. Five 240 element meters simultaneously show stereo peak and average levels; with center sum or difference. Also included are floating peak bars, clip indicators, and (DAT style) remaining headroom displays. Spectrum Analyzer is true dual channel (or summed mono) using two 1024 point Fourier engines, with a full 75 dB digital peak log display. Phase scope shows stereo imaging. Waveform monitors (stereo, mono, or L/R difference) provide graphic clipping history for each mode. Audio output modes include unique “L-R to left output; L+R to right” monitoring. Ten presets store 24 separate user selectable parameters. Operates as a resizable TDM plug-in, as a 640 x 480 stand-alone application on most Digidesign hardware, and with no hardware at all on PowerPC Macs.

SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING A properly produced digital master or CD uses every last bit of digital dynamic range, and every song on it should come within 1/10th dB of digital clipping at it’s hottest point. Clearly, even the most experienced engineer needs precise metering to help level match and balance songs to today’s strict CD standards. The AD-1 Pro Audio Analyzer provides the information you need to produce professional quality digital masters. SEE WHAT THE OTHER GUY HAS BEEN DOING One way to learn exactly how others make their mixes sound like they do is to “reverse engineer”, or analyze them. The AD-1 makes it easy to study and analyze hit songs; to visually learn exactly what both the peak and accumulated spectral energies are, to see the simultaneous relationship of musical peaks to overall average, the mono sum and difference levels, and even the amount of stereo image. You will be surprised how useful this information can be. HAVEN'T YOU WAITED LONG ENOUGH? The Intelligent Devices AD-1 is available both as a TDM plug-in, or as a stand-alone application running on AudioMedia™II, Sound Tools II (Sound Accelerator), and non-TDM Pro Tools™ cards. It will also run with no hardware at all on most Power PC Macintoshes, using the on-board 16 bit I/O ports or the new third party digital I/O nubus and PCI cards.
