Nugen Audio Visualizer
$199
A sort of ‘modular visualiser’, this one offers multiple ways to inquisite your audio signals, all of which can be switched in or out as you like – all within a resizable interface to help you customise things even further.
There’s a level meter, spectrum analysers and spectrograms, a vectorscope, lissajous meter, two correlation meters and a polar meter, all of which can be switched in or out, making the interface bigger or smaller. Said interface is also resizable, making it very useful for placing anywhere you see fit, including its own dedicated monitor.
The UI itself is responsive when resized and reordered, although the visuals themselves could do with something of an update, which is a shame in a plugin so focused on the visuals. Fonts and text are also a little dated, but again, the visualisation data itself has a lot of substance to it. This is a very comprehensive, if not comprehensively slick, visualiser toolkit. It could be the only one you ever need, if you’re happy with the graphics themselves… and the price of course. nugenaudio.com VERDICT 8.7
