VISION 4X Black Friday pricing from Excite Audio is $49, 44% off, with the deal ending Nov 15, 2026.
VISION 4X is a visual analysis plugin built with the electronic music trio NOISIA. The maker describes it as a way to compare your tracks with leading commercial mixes and make confident mixing decisions, even if your monitoring setup is modest.
Four analysers run side by side in real time:
Each one sits in its own resizable window, so you can scale the layout to suit how you work.
The spectrogram offers ten Colour Maps, picked for information density. Map Bias pushes the brightness toward the low or high end, and Range Hz and Range Db sliders set the frequency and level span on screen.
You can sync the analysis to your DAW and set the timeframe yourself. Continuous mode keeps drawing. Overlay mode loops a section and redraws the analysis on top of itself.
The plugin can also retrigger on incoming MIDI, which the maker suggests for comparing kicks. Freeze holds a snapshot of the display, and zoom lets you move in on the spectrum.
The bar graph is an adjustable spectrum analyser. Change the number of bars to go from a broad overview to a detailed read, set the Speed, and use Peak Hold to catch peaks. Spectrum Highlight flags resonant frequencies, with adjustable sensitivity and colours that can match the spectrogram.
Reference curves come from an analysis of hundreds of tracks across genres. Each has an average line and a maximum line, and anything overshooting shows in red. You can also run your own tracks through the plugin and capture custom curves.
The waveform view gives pitch, volume and timing information with a colour-coded display, alongside VU and RMS meters. Overshoot highlighting tells you when levels go above 0dB.
The phase correlation meter shows your stereo spread and the phase differences between left and right. Problems appear along the centre line, which helps you keep things aligned before a mono fold-down.
VISION 4X comes as VST, VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone. Supported DAWs include Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper and Reason, plus others. It is 64-bit only, and Windows users need Windows 7 or higher.
If you get it through a Rent to Own plan or a Beatport Studio membership, it installs and runs through the Beatport Access portal. That route needs an internet connection every 30 days to validate the license.
