PAZ Analyzer Black Friday Deal 2026: $29.99, 69% off

PAZ Analyzer Black Friday pricing from Waves is $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026. It is a spectrum analyzer plugin that puts frequency response, stereo spread, phase and level metering in one window.

The maker's pitch is simple: the more you know about your audio, the better your decisions. PAZ gives you the readouts to back those decisions up on mixes and masters.

What does the PAZ Analyzer plugin show you?

Load the full analyzer and every graphic display runs at once. Prefer a smaller footprint? You can load the components separately instead.

Here is what the displays cover:

• Frequency response through a spectrum analyzer
• Stereo loudness distribution through the Stereo Position Display
• Phase anomalies, with a flag for potentially out-of-phase audio
• Peak and RMS level meters sitting side by side

Results can be saved out as a text file, which is handy if you want a record of what you measured.

How does the spectrum analysis work?

You choose between Peak and RMS analysis, and you set the response time. Resolution is either 52 or 68 bands.

The maker says the analyzer is very accurate and easy to use. Fewer bands gives you a broader view of the spectrum. More bands splits it finer.

What about the level meters?

The RMS meter sits between the left and right peak meters, so you can compare all three at a glance. Meters can hold peak values, and the hold has its own independent reset.

Four weighting curves are available: unweighted, dBA, dBB and dBC. In the full plugin, the meters also carry resettable clip indicators.
