Peaking detection plugin?

[atticmike]

Hey folks,

 

I'm currently in the stage of preparing the mix for mastering.

 

Other than all the previous mixes that I've done, this one is really stirring me up with the most randomly occurring peaks over my set threshold.

 

Is there a plugin that'd allow me to keep the mix running and mark spots whenever it peaks over a certain threshold or stop the playback at that particular spot?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Mike

Not quite a plug in, but I think it is called Sound Track Pro.

yeah but that'd require bouncing the track and inserting the file.

 

So there is nothing that runs inside logic serving that purpose?

Good metering should be enough - I use EA's Inspector XL, together with some other metering tools and Logic's own metering.

 

With InspectorXL, for example, you can set thresholds, and if a peak hits that threshold it triggers a warning, and if it clips it triggers an over.

 

However, getting a plug to "mark" points in time or start/stop the DAW is probably asking too much. I guess it might be possible to, Waves Vocal Rider-style, have a plugin that modules a parameter in time to the audio so you can write those peak traffic to automation data, but that's not an ideal solution.

Learning to use a limiter for that purpose should work.

I'll look em up. Thanks mate

 

Yeah, a better notification whenever it peaks my personal set threshold would also help quite a lot.

Learning to write qualified comments would maybe help a lot better.

My comment is qualified.

 

Here is proof.

That was just my attempt of getting the mix to an audible level.

 

I'm not doing any output bus limiting, nor compression except out gear to color the final print before handing it over for mastering.

 

If you had read it properly, you would've known that I did it to simply make it audible. (There might've been persons surfing the board, limited to their mobile phone / laptop speakers)

 

Plus the mix was at an early stage. Now, I just have to compensate the missing db from the level I do the mix at as always

 

Apart from that misapprehension, you are not willing to share something that'd support my metering ?
