most analyzers graph magnitude against frequency but i'm looking for an analyzer that graphs magnitude (in dB) against time.. and can show me time values (in ms) between the peaks
Compression Analyser VST?

Re: Compression Analyser VST?
the value for the dB fluctuations is what i'm trying to find out

Well there probably are pretty good vst's that can analyze your sound that way. What pops into my head are Wave Candy and S(M)exoscope.
If you take the right settings with wave candy then you can 'hold' the waveform and analyse the sound's db fluctuations just by moving your mouse over the waveform. It will give you the db of every peak. But if you want to start calculating attacks and stuff then you will have to get yourself a sheet of paper and start doing some math with these variables.
S(M)exoscope does the exact same thing, it's even more precise. It splits the waveform into X and Y variables, where X stands for the length in relation to the tempo of the sound and Y the amplitude.
Have fun doing some math mate.
Btw, why exactly do you need to know the attack settings of the punch? Can't you just slice it off and give it a treatment with a bit of guesswork?

well sometimes my ears can lie to me, and if i am able to find a healthy transient peak time value(from say a good punch sample) then i can know if transients in my punch are too spiky or something..just something like thatIAmShepherd wrote:Btw, why exactly do you need to know the attack settings of the punch?

i'm looking at s(M)exoscope now and it actually seems to be good for this thing, i never knew that this plugin showed time values

I know what you mean. I'm a fan of adding a slight amount of brick wall limiting on certain sounds to solve those spikes (at least if it won't hurt the character and dynamic of that sound), it saves a lot of trouble if done properly, since those peaks can be bitch.
And yes it is one of the better osciloscopes in my opinion, despite the fact that the black waveform can be a bit unclear from time to time.
Glad I could help you out!
