Ircam Lab The Snail v1.4.2 [WiN]

The Snail is a very high-precision frequency-domain analyzer that delivers an intuitive representation of sounds based on the scales and notes aligned in spectrally active zones. It is available as a Standalone application for Mac and Windows OS, and AAX, AU and VST3 plug-in. This plug-in offers a new way of tuning and analyzing an instrument in an extremely accurate way. It displays the intonation and visualizes music and sounds in a way that can help anyone improve their listening and intonation! The inner workings of Snail comprises of two modes and three different display views : The Modes: Music Mode - is the most suitable to view your music with, if for instance it contains complex polyphonic content. Tuner Mode - is the preferred to help tune an instrument as it increases the resolution of the analysis. The Display Views: Snail View - provides a representation of the fundamental frequencies and all related harmonics or overtones in real time. Sound is displayed as 'blobs' along a spiralled view from the low frequencies in the center to higher frequencies (and their respective musical notes) up the spiral GUI. Zoomed Tuner View - displays the hexagonal shape which rotates and slows down as you zero down to green on the exact reference frequency. This display is the closest view to a traditional tuner while being incredibly more precise. Sonogram View - offers a more standard representation of the sound spectrum over time (vertically), highlighting the prevailing frequencies. This view provides more detail of the frequencies' energy for analysis.
