The second one is very pricey!  I don't think most tapers can justify that.  If you've going to pay big bucks, why not get Wavelab or similar, and get more features besides just metering.

OK.  I was looking at the more professional software at the same site.  It had 14 days free, then pay big bucks!

I use Linux both at home and in the office.  It is great as a server/development enviroment.

For audio recording and editing I do use Windows XP (Cubase and Wavelab mostly).  But if I can get a linux program, I will use that as well.

Inspector doesn't seem to work in Audacity.  I figured that since it was a VST plug-in, it would work with that program.  All I get is a slider box to set all of the controls, but the spectrum display window is never seen.  So I guess you have to use a pay-for program to use the free plug-in.

Yeah, that's my biggest beef with Audacity - it doesn't display VST plugins properly.  I just finished mapping out the "slider values" in Audacity to the proper, actual values for MDA's free dither, image (M-S decoder), and compressor plugins.  If the mapping's easy for Inspector, I'll give it a go, as well.  <----- nope, not gonna work

OK, I knew that Samplitude was a pay-for program.  I thought you might have found some program called Samp that was freeware.

This is a plug-in, not a full-blown audio application. If you put this next to things from people like Waves, you'll see the price point is approximately the same, so it's not out of this world as far as pricing goes. There are a lot of people on this board who have spent that and more on plug-ins.

I have a master on the desktop that needs some tweeking, I experienced some bad phasing at times (due to w screens changing the pattern) on this master and would like to clean it up if possible. What download or free trial of these would suit me best without being to complicated?


Thanks

thanks Teddy!

the Inspector plugin is helping my workflow immensly as DP4 doesn't have the best metering.
this is a must have for anyone who does post-production work!

is the plugin VST or DirectX?
I believe Soundforge is DirectX only...

SF and Vegas can use VST for sure, I use them all of the time. Sometimes they don't get registered right. Also, when you go to plugins in the fx menu, make sure to click the ALL folder to look for them. If not, sometimes rebooting will do it, otherwise you may have some other problem.

got it working! i had restarted Sound Forge, but I guess it took a reboot of the computer.

thanks
