MasVisGtk

MasVisGtk is an audio analysis application built for the Linux desktop using the GTK toolkit. It evaluates audio files to measure dynamic range, amplitude distribution, and compression characteristics. Sound engineers and music producers utilize this utility to inspect the technical quality of audio tracks, particularly focusing on how heavily a master recording has been compressed during the production process.

The program processes various audio formats and visualizes the results through graphs and numerical metrics. Users can examine frequency responses and dynamic degradation indicators to compare different audio masters side by side. The interface organizes analytical data into distinct visual panels for detailed inspection, though the application is restricted to analytical tasks and does not provide audio playback or editing capabilities.
