VertexDSP recently released MultiInspector v2.0, a frequency analyzer showing the spectral analysis of other plug-in instances in the same window. MultiInspector extends the usage of spectrum analyzers especially in multitrack environments by providing an easy way for simultaneous spectral analysis of several audio signals.

Beginning with version 2.0, MultiInspector provides an FFT analysis mode for spectral analysis with several options for FFT size (512 to 16384 samples) and FFT window selection (Rectangular, Hann, Hamming, Blackman, Blackman-Harris, Flat Top). There are different viewing modes for overlapping and stacked display, also available for the previously implemented 31 band third octave analysis mode. MultiInspector supports up to 16 instances at any sample rate from 32 kHz up to 192 kHz.

MultiInspector is available for Windows and Mac OS X (UB) in VST and Audio Units formats. It costs EUR 59 and a demo version is available.

Neve introduces the 8801 Channel Strip, a combination mic preamp / equaliser / dynamics processing unit based on the Neve 88R console, widely considered among one of the best-sounding analogue music consoles ever developed.

Neve's proprietary Recall software (Mac- and PC-compatible) allows the 8801 to be seamlessly integrated with workstations, providing instantaneous recall of all external device settings.

The Neve 8801 including ADC retails for Euro 3099,-/ GBP 2095,-

Following the launch of its new Structure sampler workstation last month, Digidesign extended the Structure family with the introduction of two new versions that will allow even more users to benefit from the plug-in's capabilities. Developed by Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group and optimized exclusively for Pro Tools software, Structure LE ($149 USD) provides many of the same powerful and creative features as its big brother for a fraction of the price, while Structure Free offers a great introduction to Structure sample playback at no charge.

Structure LE and Structure Free both support playback of native Structure files (all versions of Structure can play any file created with any version of Structure). Both also support playback of unencrypted SampleCell (1 and ...
