“Since the release of Smaart v.7 in 2010 we have learned a tremendous amount about what features are important to users in a multi-measurement capable environment, and how they integrate Smaart into the workflow of their daily audio engineering tasks.” says Jamie Anderson, Rational Acoustics CEO. “As an industry, professional audio has fully embraced analyzers as part of the work process and is continually developing new, better and often unforeseen ways to implement them. With Smaart v8, we are breaking out of the single-window, fixed-GUI world to allow users significantly increased control over their software environment. Users will be much better able to adapt and expand Smaart to match their specific applications.”
