AudioScope vs Gridsong

AudioScope is an invaluable audio plugin for mixing and mastering with a toolbox of additional mixing aids. It was originally created as a method for comparing your mix to a reference track and seeing exactly what frequencies to tweak in order to obtain a desired match. This alone is incredibly useful for creating the feel of a particular genre of music, by tweaking your mix to match. AudioScope is so much more than this! It includes a great visual mixer which enables you control your entire mix from a single window inside your DAW. You see a top-down visualisation of your entire mix and stereo balance. You can save up to 3 compare mixes and quickly switch between them. You can also save up to 12 snapshots of stereo positions and levels, then morph between them. All of this functionality is available via MIDI, so with one simple CC command, you can switch out one mix for another or engage a snapshot. You are able to group your drums and other elements so that the mix doesn't become overwhelming, allowing you to focus on a subset of key elements if you wish. AudioScope also includes a suite of tools to adjust EQ, compression, and overall balance of your mix. The way AudioScope works is unique, with a quick and easy workflow: Insert an instance of AudioScope on each of your track's Insert Effect slot and name the track. Now simply open one of the instances and you have the ability to control all tracks from a single window. AudioScope is equiped with its own shelf and peak filters, EQ and lookahead compressor (with Sidechain). You can find demonstrations and tutorials for this and all my apps on the 'Paul the MusicMan' YouTube channel.
