Low Tides introduces a unique spectral engine featuring the Live Freeze function, which allows users to pause and examine frequencies occurring at any moment within a 30-second audio snapshot. This innovative feature is especially useful for isolating fast-moving frequencies that are difficult to catch during real-time playback. By freezing the spectral content, audio engineers can navigate through the frequency spectrum at their own pace, making it easier to identify and analyze specific sound elements without being overwhelmed by transient changes.

The plugin offers exceptionally low latency and high precision, particularly in the low-frequency range, ensuring detailed and accurate spectral analysis. The Focus Filter further enhances frequency isolation by providing a steep cutoff slope and a flat passband, allowing users to concentrate on specific frequency bands without interference from surrounding sounds. This makes Low Tides well suited for tasks such as equalization, mastering, and sound design, where precise control over frequency content is essential.

Additional features include draggable cursors for easy navigation and organization, multiple processing modes including Mono, Stereo, and Mid-Side, and a variety of latency settings optimized for different analysis needs. The interface also provides VU meters with and without averaging, as well as note and frequency meters to help identify peak frequencies within selected ranges. Low Tides stands out as an effective tool for detailed spectral work, offering both accuracy and flexibility in various audio production scenarios.
