SuperMegaUltraGroovy has introduced FuzzMeasure 4, an update to its professional audio and acoustic measurement software designed for OS X Yosemite that provides more than 50 new features and improvements. In addition, many of FuzzMeasure’s calculations have been improved in terms of both accuracy and performance.
“When customers first experience FuzzMeasure, their initial reaction is to the design and approachability of the software,” says Chris Liscio, SuperMegaUltraGroovy president and chief developer of FuzzMeasure. “I have a deep respect for FuzzMeasure users’ time and expertise, and feel that they deserve a product that is as enjoyable to use as it is powerful.”
The FuzzMeasure interface offers one-click measurements with extensive Core Audio hardware support for multichannel devices and sample rates up to 192 kHz. FuzzMeasure 4 improves on these assets with a new graphing interface.
Specifically, it allows users to combine any of its 18 graphs with any other—enabling thousands of different ways to visualize measurements. Further, FuzzMeasure’s more advanced Waterfall and Reverberation Time (RT60) graphs can now be viewed and printed alongside the others.
“To be able to show both the Waterfall and RT60 graphs at the same time, without having to close one and then open the other, will save a lot of time as far as clients grasping the scope of problems in the space,” says Chris Owens, studio designer and room acoustician (Diplo, Atlantic Records, VICE, Disney Studios, Jerry Cantrell, Dillon Francis, Justin Warfield, DJ Frank E, and more)
In this release, users will now also find additional acoustics graphs such as clarity, definition, as well as an improved reverberation time (RT60) calculation and separate early decay time (EDT) graph. In addition, all fractional octave graphs can be visualized as filled line graphs as well as the classic bar style, enabling comparisons between measurements.
The Waterfall graph has also been completely redesigned to enable improved printing support and the ability to compare multiple records. In addition, more controls are offered to allow modifications to both time- and frequency-domain resolution in this plot.
