PAZ Analyzer

Waves

PAZ Analyzer is a real-time audio metering and analysis plugin that displays stereo positioning, frequency spread, and Peak/RMS levels. It uses psychoacoustic frequency bands and polar coordinate stereo visualization to give engineers an intuitive understanding of their mix's spectral and spatial characteristics. The plugin is fully bit-transparent and available as component modules to optimize CPU graphics performance.

Key Features

01Real-time frequency analysis with 52 bands at 40Hz LF resolution (up to 68 bands at 10Hz)
02Stereo Position Display showing loudness, stereo position, and out-of-phase detection
03Peak and RMS level metering with independent peak-hold tracking
04Wavelet-based analysis for optimal time and frequency resolution
05Three weighting curves (dBA, dBB, dBC) plus unweighted mode
06Component plug-ins: PAZ-Analyzer, PAZ-Position, PAZ-Frequency, PAZ-Meters
07Dual channel (L/R) or total stereo energy (L+R) analysis modes
08Freeze, zoom, crosshair cursor, and max value tracking controls

Things to Try

  • 01Use 40Hz LF resolution default for best correlation with ear characteristics and optimal time response
  • 02Switch between L/R dual channel mode for precision analysis or L+R mode for total stereo energy measurement
  • 03Explore Stereo Position Display with intentionally phase-flipped channels to understand out-of-phase behavior
  • 04Apply dBA weighting for low-level monitoring to account for reduced sensitivity to low frequencies
