When something sounds wrong during a live production, you need to know what happened, not guess. WAVETOOL 4 helps professional audio teams hear critical sources, identify and investigate issues, and stay coordinated throughout a production. Monitor wired and wireless audio across Shure and other brands, listen from an iPad backstage, and stay on top of what’s happening across your system. GLOBAL INSTANT REPLAY Missed the moment? Go back and listen. Replay up to 30 minutes of monitored audio across your system to investigate intermittent issues and hear exactly what happened to remove guesswork during troubleshooting. MONITOR THE WHOLE PRODUCTION Bring up to 192 channels into one monitoring environment. Listen to channels in real time, monitor key system information, and maintain visibility across the sources your team is responsible for. DETECT MIC ISSUES FASTER WAVETOOL continuously analyzes audio to help identify potential microphone issues, including transient noise, connector faults, and more, while distinguishing them from intentional loud moments in the show. STAY MOBILE WITH iPAD Stay close to the action without giving up visibility into your production. WAVETOOL on iPad lets you monitor and listen from backstage, around the venue, or wherever you need to be. WORK FROM THE SAME SHARED REFERENCE Connect up to eight concurrent clients so the whole audio team can monitor the same production while working from independent views. Enhanced communication tools, including images, voice notes, and reactions, make it easier to share information. ONE MONITORING SOLUTION FOR YOUR AUDIO TEAM From live sound and broadcast to theater, houses of worship, corporate events, and other professional productions, WAVETOOL gives audio teams the visibility, listening, and collaboration tools to respond with confidence. See every channel. Replay the full system. Stay in control.

OmniRTA is an advanced real-time acoustic analyzer engineered for audio professionals, sound design students, musicians, and acousticians. Combining high-performance DSP with a clear, pedagogical interface, OmniRTA bridges the gap between signal theory and practical sound analysis. A Unique Educational & Comparative Platform: Unlike traditional RTAs limited to a single processing method, OmniRTA integrates multiple frequency analysis engines, allowing you to compare signal behaviors side by side and understand how different algorithms handle transient vs. steady-state audio: Standard Direct FFT: High-speed frequency decomposition optimized for real-time responsiveness, wideband signals, and general monitoring. Constant-Q / Fractional Octave Filterbank: Acoustically relevant octave and fractional-octave banding (1/1, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/24 octave) that matches human auditory perception across the audible spectrum. Proprietary Low-Frequency Transient Engine (Exclusive): Traditional FFT algorithms suffer from a strict time-frequency uncertainty trade-off, either sacrificing time accuracy or frequency resolution in the low end. OmniRTA introduces an innovative analysis engine specifically designed for low-frequency transient and percussive content. Accurately track fast double-kick drums, heavy techno sub-bass patterns, and low-end impact dynamics with surgical frequency definition and zero temporal smearing. Key Features: β€’ Real-time multi-algorithm spectrum visualization. β€’ Standard acoustic weightings: A, C, and Z (Flat). β€’ Response ballistics: Fast, Slow, Peak Hold, and Infinite Peak. β€’ Native high-performance DSP core written in Rust for minimal latency and optimal battery efficiency. β€’ Seamless cross-platform experience across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Free vs Pro Version: OmniRTA offers essential spectrum analysis features for everyday work and learning. Upgrade to OmniRTA Pro via a one-time in-app purchase to unlock advanced fractional octave bands, deep algorithm customization, and extended logging tools.
