Insider

Insider is a free and open-source tool that lets you take a closer look at large binary sample files, like waveforms or sounds. It’s pretty cool because it shows you these files in a way that's easy to understand.

How Does Insider Work?

When you open a file with Insider, it treats it like a list of binary samples collected over time. On the X-axis, you’ll see the sample number, while the Y-axis shows the value of each sample at that point in time. This setup helps visualize the data in an organized way.

Handling Large Files

You know how big binary files can be? Sometimes they have way more samples than there are pixels on your screen! That’s where Insider shines. It gives you different ways to choose which dot represents the many samples available.

Multi-Platform Support

The best part? Insider works on multiple platforms! Whether you're using Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux, as long as your system supports Java, you'll be good to go. It's designed to be fast and efficient even when opening several large files at once.

What About Precision?

Now, keep in mind that Insider isn’t about super precise measurements. Instead, it's all about visualization. So if you're looking for detailed data accuracy, this might not be your go-to tool.
