I'd like to introduce you to a freeware oscilloscope:
The idea was to create a beat-synced oscilloscope, that has a big display and high resolution, is easy to navigate, and depicts the actual audio data played. That was over 8 years ago and was one of my first plugins as a 'get into plugin coding' project. It is the 3rd or 4th iteration now, and I am quite happy that after so many years it's here:
Audija OScope
To download the Freeware, go to audija.com/plugins and click "DOWNLOAD FREEWARE"
*The differences between the freeware and paid version are Sidechain Input and Channel Overlay - these two features are only in the paid version.
True Peak:
We see all samples and avoid missing peaks when we print one audio sample per pixel. However, when we zoom out, we suddenly have to condense hundreds or even thousands of samples into a single pixel column. If we just pick one sample out of this range, we end up losing sample peaks in our visual representation, rendering us unable to spot unwanted peaks, if necessary. To achieve a 'true peak' representation of the captured audio data, each sample range per pixel must be checked for the lowest and highest sample. These samples are then depicted as a line for that pixel column. Only this way we will see all peaks in our oscillogram - no matter how far we zoom out, if there's a sample that jumps out of range, we'll be able to spot it!
Navigation
Use your mouse to zoom and pan on Oscillogram and Decible scale
Length
The recording loop's length can be set relatively to the grid to capture long periods or to view single beats.
Freeze
For recording independent analysis, the oscillogram can be frozen.

If you have any questions or feedback, I'd be happy to respond!
