Capture audio from anywhere
Audiolens analyzes audio from any popular streaming platform or audio source. Play your chosen audio through the selected output of your device and the application will collect data on key sonic characteristics, helping you to visualize, compare, and match your favorite reference tracks and sounds.

Analyze your reference
The reference analysis from Audiolens is seamlessly integrated with iZotope plug-ins Ozone 10 and Neutron 4, eliminating the need to download tracks or set up tedious audio routing. This saves you time and allows you to easily match to your references and fine-tune your sound using Ozone and Neutron’s AI-powered Assistants.Â

With Ozone, match any master
Audiolens will automatically populate saved referenced targets to your Ozone 10 Target Library so you can visualize how your master stacks up to your chosen reference. Run the AI-powered Master Assistant to match the tone, dynamics, and width profiles of the desired track to your own master, and dial in additional adjustments using the Assistant View.

With Neutron, easily dial in your sound
Audiolens will automatically populate saved reference targets to your Neutron 4 Target Library where they will be analyzed by Neutron’s Assistant. You can then quickly match characteristics within the mix of your own track, whether that’s adding some thump to your bass, crisping up your snare, or making hi-hats sizzle. Further customize your sound by using the Assistant View to dial in your mix elements.

Save your favorite references for later
Save the tonal data of your references to your Audiolens Target Library to build a personal catalog of reference track data that you can access anytime. Name your tracks so you can quickly find the sounds you want to match, and compare tonal balance profiles with ease. The Target Library talks to Ozone 10 and Neutron 4, automatically populating your references to those plug-ins if you have them.
