The only referencing plugin that lets you compare your mix to pro tracks and your past self — at the same time.
Switch between your live mix, a reference track, and a saved snapshot in one keystroke — loudness-matched so you're judging tone, not volume. BLIND mode randomly assigns mix vs. snapshot to two unlabeled buttons: pick the one that wins, then hit Reveal. ABX mode runs a significance test and tells you whether you can actually hear the difference, or whether you're guessing. No more "louder = better" fooling yourself.
Save a snapshot before any risky move. Cartigraph freezes the last 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds of your mix — no bouncing, no re-importing — and stores it with your DAW session so it comes back when you reopen the project. Pull any of up to 16 snapshots up against your current mix or reference, instantly, and see the difference spectrum: exactly where energy moved between revisions instead of eyeballing two overlapping curves.
Five analysis views — spectrum, dynamics, stereo image, correlation, and spectrogram — all with simultaneous MIX / REF / SNAP overlay in colour-coded channels. The loudness arc plots short-term LUFS across the entire track as it plays, so you can confirm your drop actually hits harder than the build. Resonance detection flags the frequencies that ring and build over time — click any flag to audition it.
Seven processing stages, drag-to-reorder, all transparent until engaged. Leave it on the master bus all session as a pure analyzer — engage the chain when you're ready to finish.
Click the spectrum to drop a band that compresses only its own frequency range. Up to 4 bands with imaging tools: mono-maker, M/S solo, and mono-safe width cap.
Classic VCA bus compressor with side-chain high-pass, parallel mix, and switched ratios. Binds the mix without killing the kick.
Up to 24 bands. Any node can move only when the signal crosses a threshold. Per-band M/S/L/R placement. Resonance detection built in.
Soft clip, Tube, or Tape character with drive, mix, and a high-pass to keep the low end clean. 4x oversampled.
28-band dynamic resonance suppressor. Tames harsh frequencies before the clipper emphasises them. Reduction hard-capped at 6 dB so it can't dull a master.
Transparent peak control before the limiter. Hard and soft modes, draggable threshold line, up to 8x oversampling.
Brickwall limiter with lookahead, inter-sample peak handling, gain match, and reference loudness matching. Draggable ceiling line.
TPDF dither with optional 2nd-order noise shaping, always last in the chain. For 16 / 20 / 24-bit export.
