Alright so I was having a think about how we have tools like multiband compressors and graphic EQs that can show us the dynamic level at certain points in the frequency spectrum, but I was wondering if any such thing existed for the stereo field? That is, something that shows the dynamic level at (at least) hard left, center and hard right, and then (hopefully) outputs these levels as floating point values in Max? It sort of seems like a thing that should exist, but I've never actually seen.

To address why I would want this, I think it would be cool to use these values to control jitter parameters so that video effects across the X-axis of my image are directly effected by the levels in the stereo field.

One spectral analysis for each channel, and interpolate the data?
