The NuGen Audio Visualizer Upgrade - Comprehensive Audio Analysis Suitefrom NuGen Audio Visualizer Upgrade - Comprehensive Audio Analysis Suiteis a spectrum-analyzer plug-in that is designed for use in a multitude of recording, mixing and mastering situations. It is compatible with Mac and Windows and requires use of a host program that supports Avid, Audio Units, or VST plug-ins.

The Visualizer is an audio-analysis tool that can help you identify problematic frequencies, fundamentals, harmonics and much more. It has several visual displays including a traditional spectrum-analysis display, a spectrogram display that shows level and frequency history with a zoom control, and primary and secondary meter displays which allow for multiple metering types to be viewed simultaneously. Some of the different metering types include standard peak and RMS metering, K-Scale meters and a stereo margin indicator that displays dB remaining until clip.

The software is designed to be helpful in a wide variety of use cases. It features a -20 dBFS RMS pink noise signal generator that can be used for acoustical testing purposes. It can be used to aide in "room tuning" for analyzing the acoustical properties of acoustic spaces such as control rooms, live rooms, auditoriums and more. Use Visualizer in recording situations for helping to determine mic placements, for EQing and more. Use it in mixing and mastering for investigating hard-to-hear low-frequency issues, honing in on problem areas, examining phase relationships, peak monitoring and more.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this compatible with Apple TV? Will it extract a L/R audio signal from an Apple TV G4 regardless of the audio output setting on the ATV4? What constraints/limitations apply to using the device in this manner?

A: This should work fine with an Apple TV.

Q: 2. What is the O.D. of the connector body?

A: Unfortunately Comprehensive has not posted the outer diameter of the connector for this cable model TSK-TSK-6ST but you can contact them directly by phone or email on the following page, for further details on this.

Q: 3. Can I use this device to connect a VGA output from a laptop into a HDMI to input into a video Switcher?

A: No. You'll likely need male VGA to HDMI. This unit is female VGA to HDMI.

Q: 4. Will this support HDMI in at 1080i59.84?

A: Yes it should. This supports up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz.

Q: 5. This adapter is to connect older laptop VGA ouput to a newer HDMI display, Why is the 3.5 mm audio cable so short that you can't actually plug the VGA and 3.5mm audio cable into the laptop at the same time?

A: This is a "hub" type device that should be used with the necessary extenders.

Q: 6. Does this support Dolby Vision?

A: We're afraid not. This product does not support Dolby Vision.

Q: 7. Will this device connect my Viewsonic monitor (VGA) to HDM on laptop?

A: Yes it should. This allows you to connect HDMI devices in to a monitor that has a VGA input.

Q: 8. license?

A: This includes one license, meaning that it can be installed on a single computer.

Q: 9. I have a LG OLED TV that outputs only one audio. For example one HDMI to a sound bar OR one optical to my hearing aid device. I want to use my sound bar AND my hearing aid through the optical. Will this do the trick?

A: The HDMI output will still have audio on it. If the sound bar you are using has an HDMI input then yes, this should in theory do the trick.

Q: 10. Can I use two of these devices to convert HDMI from a computer to an existing VGA ceiling cable and them terminate it with the second device to go into a HDMI monitor input? I am looking to avoid re-pulling the ceiling cable with a whole new totally HDMI cable.

A: I carry this unit as a backup plan - I've never actually tested it. From what I understand it is designed to go HDMI to VGA, not in reverse. My professional recommendation would be to do it properly...and pull an HDMI line in your ceiling.
