As this week's Free Plug-in, we are featuring GonioMeter from ToneBoosters, a free metering plugin which gives valuable data about your stereo field and mono compatibility.
GonioMeter will be particularly useful for Pro Tools users who haven’t had access to a stock phase scope plugin since Pro Tools 10. This plugins goniometer is combined with a correlation meter which, rather than giving a combined value for the entire spectrum, displays correlation across the whole frequency spectrum and also displays pan information my frequency.
ToneBoosters say:
Visualize the spatial sound field, stereo balance, left/right balance spectrum and correlation spectrum in real time. GonioMeter is completely free and included in our software installer. The perfect tool to ensure that content you create is of high quality and mono down-mix compatible, an absolute must for mobile entertainment.
