I'm currently taking a course on drum layering and sound-design of various drum types, and the instructor is using Ableton Live for the demonstrations...

It's helpful to analyze the waveform and see how it changes in relation to various effects being applied.

Ableton has this neat window that displays the waveform of sounds being played in real-time, which I never really thought of as very useful, but now I kinda want it back...

I haven't found a way to do this in Reason yet, so was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to do this.

I've searched the Propellerhead Store for Rack Extensions, but it seems that most of the plugins related to this only shows the frequencies, like the built-in EQ does, and not the actual waveform.

I need a view like this:

To be triggered in real-time when a sound is played / sample triggered, preferably to be used as an insert with Kong, so I can stay in the rack.

Ok, this looks like something I could use!
I'll give it a try.

Thanks! 👍

This one is even better, if you want to compare several (up to 4) signals:

But really, this one's considered a go-to at least in psychedelic trance circles, where people obsess about aligning phase of kick + bass :D

I've often thought, how great it would be to be able to see how an audio clip has been affected by a compressor in real time on the sequencer.

Is it a 32bit plug-in? I just downloaded it and extracted it to my Reason VST folder. It's there but not showing up in Reason.

You can always bounce it post-compressor? :)

Oh, I've not thought about it but it appears so :(

Maybe try one of those?

Nice! The s(M)exoscope is a gem!
Thanks!
Would have been even more awesome if it was implemented as a Rack Extension 😅. But I see it's an Open Source plug-in, so if I get the time to learn about PH's developer API's maybe I can re-write it as a RE.
Would be a fun pet project.🤓
