A DAW plug-in that displays the frequency spectrum of all sounding tracks simultaneously in a single graph.

Most DAWs display the frequency spectrum of one track at a time, yet many projects contain as many as a hundred tracks. Strata layers the spectra of all active, sounding tracks in a single window, so you can instantly see where each track sits, which tracks are sounding when they shouldn’t and where instruments clash. Plug-in colours can be mapped to your DAW track colours, the lightweight track plug-ins pass audio without colouring your sound, and a proprietary internal protocol syncs the data without complex routing.
