iZotope Insight Pro 2.4.0 instal the new version for windows

This is a complete audio analysis package, with fully customisable and scalable level meters (true peak, RMS and K-system), loudness meters (ITU-R BS.1770 and EBU R-128, plus a loudness history graph mode), 2D and 3D spectrogram, spectrum analyser, and both a stereo vectorscope and surround scope. Lots of manufacturers now offer meter plug-ins that include the BS.1770 loudness format, but iZotope's new Insight software goes further than most. Music can be punchy and dynamic once again, with creative light and shade, choruses louder than versus, and a sense of vitality that an entire generation probably doesn't know to be possible! Insight As you might expect, it ends up sounding really weak, feeble, and utterly boring because it has no dynamics! Everyone's music ends up sounding as loud as everyone else's, because that's what loudness normalisation does, but the reintroduction of a headroom margin allows - and even encourages - the kind of wide, natural, dynamic range that has been practically lost through the 'loudness wars'. The really interesting side-effect of loudness normalisation, though, is what happens to hyper-compressed, peak-normalised material. Most major broadcasters will adopt the system over the coming year, and work has already started on adapting the format for the radio industry. The aim of this new approach is primarily to overcome the hugely annoying problem of widely varying levels when switching between TV stations, or during ad breaks within a programme, and it is working extremely well for those broadcasters that have already adopted this new way of working. The new broadcast standards require that material is balanced using 'loudness normalisation', where the relative loudness is determined by a new form of meter complying with the ITU-R BS.1770 (and related) specifications.

Although this standard only directly affects broadcasters at present, it is certain to have some impact on the way we all create and optimise mixes in the near future. Most DAWs are reasonably well equipped when it comes to basic needs such as mid-side metering and audio vectorscopes (goniometers), but the recent introduction of a Loudness Metering standard has skewed the playing field somewhat.

In almost all recording, mixing and mastering contexts, decent analysis and metering tools make the job a whole lot easier - if only to confirm what your ears are telling you. This arrangement shows bar-graph level meters, loudness readouts and a spectral analyser. The Insight suite is highly configurable.

As loudness standards evolve, so we need new metering plug-ins.
