The XA1 Real Time Spectrum Analyzer is a Mac OS X AudioUnit plug-in that provides live audio analysis. It is designed for real-time audio monitoring and is ideal for music production, sound engineering, and other audio-related tasks.
XA1 is an AudioUnit plug-in that has been designed for Mac OS X users. One thing to note is that unlike most analyzers that use FFT for analyzing audio, XA1 uses bandpass filters as hardware devices do. This makes XA1 stand out from the majority of the other analyzers that are available.
Due to this unique approach, XA1 generates a very musical display. The algorithm used for analyzing ensures the same resolution across the spectrum. This means that the response time in the low end of the spectrum is just as fast as the high end. This is in stark contrast to FFT-based analyzers that tend to have very bad timing in the low end.
The latest release of XA1 comes with several new features. These include a Carbon-only GUI, multichannel support, odd/even channel difference, control mix scaling on multiply channels, and various new display options.
To run XA1, you will need Quicktime 6.5.1 or higher installed on your device. Overall, XA1 presents a unique and innovative approach that musicians and producers should definitely consider when looking for an analyzer software.
