SoundScope Light

Frequency Analyzer

Only for Mac

Free

Mac

Your Mac's audio, decoded. Six pro visualizers, broadcast-grade LUFS metering, and a diagnostics engine that tells you what to fix — before your listeners hear it. See your sound. SoundScope Light turns your Mac into a complete audio analysis studio — spectrum, loudness, phase, and dynamics, measured with broadcast-grade precision and rendered in a stunning dark interface. Whether you're mixing, mastering, podcasting, or simply love watching your music breathe, SoundScope Light shows you what your ears alone can't catch — and tells you how to fix it. — SIX WAYS TO SEE YOUR SOUND — • SPECTRUM — high-resolution real-time analyzer with bars or silky line mode, animated peak hold, 16–128 bands, logarithmic or linear scaling • SPECTROGRAM — scrolling waterfall with a gorgeous inferno heat map, 20 Hz to 20 kHz • OSCILLOSCOPE — dual-channel L/R waveform with automatic clipping markers and DC-offset detection • VECTORSCOPE — classic Lissajous / mid-side goniometer with phase guides for instant stereo imaging • RIBBON TUNNEL & RADIAL BLOOM — two breathtaking ambient visualizers that turn your desk into mission control — BROADCAST-GRADE LOUDNESS — A full ITU-R BS.1770-4 loudness suite: Momentary, Short-term and gated Integrated LUFS, Loudness Range (LRA), intersample True Peak (dBTP), DR score, and PLR. The Streaming Targets panel shows instant PASS/FAIL for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and EBU R128 broadcast — before you upload, not after. — A MIX ENGINEER IN YOUR SIDEBAR — The built-in diagnostics engine listens with you and speaks plain English: clipping alerts, loudness-war warnings, crushed dynamics, mono sub-bass cancellation, phase problems, and frequency-balance issues — all judged against genre profiles for EDM, Hip-Hop, Rock, Classical, Acoustic, and Podcast. — FIND PROBLEM FREQUENCIES INSTANTLY — Automatic resonance detection tags sustained peaks with their musical note and exact frequency. Flip on the note grid to read the spectrum in musical pitch, and the per-band mono-compatibility strip to see exactly where your mix collapses in mono. — MATCH THE MASTERS — Load any track as a reference: SoundScope Light computes its averaged, 1/3-octave-smoothed spectrum and overlays it on your live signal. Shape your mix against the records you love. — ANY SOURCE. ZERO SETUP. — Analyze your Mac's system audio natively — no virtual drivers, no third-party installs. Or switch to any microphone or audio interface with one click. — SURGICAL CONTROL — FFT sizes from 64 to 131,072 with TRANS / BAL / MASTR presets, overlap up to 93.75%, HOLD to freeze and inspect any moment, input sensitivity from 0.1× to 4×. — BUILT FOR YOUR DESK — Keyboard-first workflow — every view is one keypress away. Stereo VU meters with peak hold, stereo image, M/S spectra, and phase correlation. Band RMS metering from sub to air. CSV measurement reports for clients and archiving. Seven accent themes, haptic feedback, persistent settings, Reduce Motion support. No subscriptions. No accounts. No telemetry. Just Apple-native engineering, silky-smooth on Apple silicon. Stop guessing. Start seeing.
