Tsuga Audio MoonBass 1.0.0 Overview

MoonBass is a beat-synchronized oscilloscope and spectrogram plugin developed by Tsuga Audio, purpose-built for deep, precise low-end analysis in genres like EDM where bass and kick interaction is critical. Available as an AU and VST3 plugin for macOS and Windows, MoonBass runs as a universal binary supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and requires macOS 10.13 or later. Version 1.0.0 is the plugin's initial release, introducing a full high-detail spectrogram for visual bass analysis, improved tempo controls, reduced processor load when displaying graphical traces, input and auxiliary signal level controls, time offset settings for latency compensation, and new visualization themes and color options. What sets MoonBass apart from a general-purpose analyzer is its specific focus on the bass-and-kick relationship: it captures two channels simultaneously — typically bass and kick — and displays them together in perfect sync, making phase cancellation between the two instantly visible rather than something engineers have to guess at by ear. A zero-phase filter isolates specific bass frequency ranges for visual inspection without introducing the phase distortion a standard filter would add, ensuring the displayed signal accurately represents what's actually happening in the mix. Beyond phase detection, MoonBass's high-resolution bass spectrogram reveals low-end detail and timing that other analyzers can miss, helping engineers shape kick transients, dial in sub ducking, and sculpt bass harmonics so every low-end element locks together with precision.

Key Features

Beat-Synced Dual-Channel Oscilloscope Captures two channels — typically bass and kick — and displays them together in perfect sync, making it easy to compare their timing and interaction directly. Real-Time Phase Cancellation Detection Detects phase issues between bass and kick in real time, highlighting problematic parts of a track so engineers can fix them quickly rather than relying on guesswork. High-Resolution Bass Spectrogram Introduced fully in version 1.0.0, this high-detail spectrogram reveals low-end frequency content and timing with a level of precision other analyzers can miss. Zero-Phase Filtering Uses a zero-phase filter to isolate specific bass frequency ranges for visual analysis, ensuring an accurate, undistorted representation of the actual signal being inspected. Multi-Function Scrollbar Provides full control over the scope display, letting users zoom in to inspect fine detail or scroll through a track to analyze patterns over time. Improved Tempo/Speed Controls Version 1.0.0 refines tempo control accuracy, allowing more precise manual adjustment of project speed within the plugin's display. Time Offset Control Lets users manually tweak scope synchronization on host DAWs that don't properly perform latency compensation, keeping the displayed signal accurately aligned. Gain Stage Adjustment Panel Allows signal levels to be matched for the most accurate analysis in complex projects, alongside dedicated input and auxiliary signal level controls added in version 1.0.0.

How to Use Tsuga Audio MoonBass 1.0.0

Run the installer, which installs both AU and VST3 formats by default, along with presets. Open your DAW and load MoonBass on a bass track, then route your kick track into the plugin's second channel input. Watch the beat-synced oscilloscope display to compare bass and kick timing and spot any phase cancellation in real time. Switch to the spectrogram view for a high-resolution look at low-end frequency content and timing. Use the zero-phase filter to isolate specific bass frequency ranges without introducing filter-related phase distortion. Adjust the time offset control if your DAW doesn't properly compensate for latency, keeping the display accurately synced. Fine-tune input and auxiliary signal levels using the gain stage adjustment panel for the most accurate analysis in complex sessions.
