Oscilloscopes

[Drammy]

Apparently most studio engineers use dedicated outboard kit which can cost anything from ?400 upwards!

However I found a free app on the net which uses your computers soundcard to analyse the signal. Here's the link:

Let me know what you find...

that's usually not an oscilloscope but a phase correlation meter. sometimes they're called jelly fish meters as well.

they show amplitude on Y and stereo spread on X and they're indeed very helpful, especially when you need to be mono compatible (TV, radio).

there is PC/Mac software based versions (e.g. PAZ/waves) but those usually have a pretty high signal/display latency.
