Strata

Strata by Crickets Audio is a spectral layering tool that lets you see every track in your project at once. Instead of a single spectrum analyzer, it stacks your tracks like geological layers, revealing frequency clashes, masking and low-end mud in one unified view. The system uses two components: Strata Track sits at the end of each channel’s chain and passes audio through untouched, while Strata Vision collects all that data into a single real-time heatmap. You can spot when a synth is stepping on hi-hats or a background vocal is eating your kick and bass. Customizable palettes can match your DAW track colors, and a global Low CPU mode pauses processing when you need resources. It suits hobby producers mixing in FL Studio, Ableton or Logic who want visual clarity alongside their ears.
