Insight 2
Insight 2 is a comprehensive metering and audio analysis plugin for music production and post-production, developed by iZotope. It provides real-time visual monitoring of loudness (LUFS), levels, frequency content, phase, spectrograms, and intelligibility across stereo and surround formats up to Dolby Atmos. The plugin is used by mixing engineers, mastering professionals, and post-production facilities to detect mix problems, ensure compliance with broadcast loudness standards, and verify audio quality during the mixing and mastering process. Insight 2 is available in AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX formats and integrates with compatible iZ products through Relay for inter-plugin communication.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionInsight 2 is a VST plugin from iZotope, and it ships as a native Apple Silicon build (arm64) that has been available since version 2.3.0 in May 2022, with ongoing updates to the latest build. You update Insight 2 through iZotope's Product Portal—visit izotope.com, log in to your account, and download the latest Insight 2 installer for macOS, which will automatically serve the native build on Apple silicon Macs. The plugin works natively in AU, VST3, and AAX host applications. Note that VST2 instances of Insight 2 are only available in DAWs or NLEs opened using Rosetta on Apple silicon Macs, so if you rely on VST2 compatibility, consider upgrading to a DAW that ships a native Apple Silicon build (most major DAWs like Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, and recent versions of Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and Reaper now run natively). For the most current version, always download from iZotope's official installer rather than third-party plugin marketplaces.
