Plugindoctor fills a long-standing gap in the market: a cross-platform and cross-bit plugin analyzer for VST and AU plugins. Whether you’re a plugin developer yourself who wants to rigorously test the sound quality of your latest and greatest product, or an advanced user who wants to understand in more detail exactly what a particular plugin does with your precious audio material, Plugindoctor can help you figure it out!
Highest quality, double precision FFT, independent analysis of stereo channels.
Linear analysis: amplitude and phase characteristics using delta or random input signal.
Harmonic Analysis: Highly accurate analysis of the frequency response of a sinusoidal input signal. Input power and frequency may vary to calculate THD/THD+N. Switchable modulus distortion.
Sweep function for fundamental response and THD response.
Oscilloscope: See what happens to a sinusoidal input signal in real time.
Dynamic: Use a linear signal to test compression or expansion, or an attack-release signal to test your compressor’s attack and release curves.
Performance: How many milliseconds is actually spent on your plugin’s audio processing callback (depending on buffer size).
Ability to load two plugins in parallel for simultaneous analysis.
Freely resizable user interface.
Three quality settings corresponding to three different FFT buffer sizes.
Ability to store curves in linear and harmonic analysis mode for easy comparison of settings or different plug-ins.
Built-in screenshot function.
Standalone version: Comes as a 32-bit and 64-bit executable.
Place the .dll in your VST2 plugins folder.
Place VST3 in VST3 folder.
