SPL HawkEye is a high-precision audio metering suite plugin for music production, mixing and mastering workflows. It includes multiple measurement instruments: a Level Meter (with True Peak and RMS metering), Loudness Meter (for streaming platform compliance), Bit Monitor (for bit-depth analysis and DC offset detection), Vector Scope (for stereo imaging and phase), and Spectrum Analyzer (with spectrogram and octave views). HawkEye helps engineers catch mix problems before delivery to streaming services and assess audio quality in real-time. It is available as a VST3, AU, and AAX Native plugin for use in Digital Audio Workstations like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, and others. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

1 suggestionSPL HawkEye now ships with native Apple Silicon support as of version 1.1.0 (released February 2024), and a native build has already been confirmed running on Macs in our community. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, use the Plugin Alliance Installation Manager — the official tool for managing all Plugin Alliance plugins. Download the Installation Manager from plugin-alliance.com, launch it, select SPL HawkEye, and choose the VST3 (or AU/AAX if you use those formats) option for your current DAW. The Installation Manager will automatically serve the native Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs, so no special steps or beta enrollment are required. After installation completes, restart your DAW and the native version will be ready to use. You will see noticeably better performance and lower CPU usage compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
