A rolling slew rate graph analyzer plugin for Windows (64 bit VST2)

The plugin has no user-controls, so you just load it onto the track where you need to monitor the slew-rate.

It takes a stereo-input (In Reaper it also accepts a mono-input) and will show left-channel in white color and right channel in red color (When the signal is mono the 2 graphs overlap and become a light shade of red)

It has a 5 second window.

It has 2 static mustard-yellow lines on the screen.

One is showing the typical ceiling for music mastered in the 70s/80s and the other music mastered in the 90s (They just show a general ball-park of where music from the particular decade tends to max out, so it's not something that's written in stone)

Music mastered after year 2000 will go off-scale-high (You don't need this analyzer if you intend to have slew-rates that are that fast)

It is inspired by Airwindows' "METER" plugin (The slew-rate lane on that plugin, which I personally find very useful) but I defined the 2 typical ceilings using a range of CDs from my own collection (No vinyl, but CDs with music from the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond year 2000. It's actually kind of crazy how it keeps going up, decade after decade, and isn't really helping the music sound any better in my subjective opinion. So my recommendation is that you at least keep your slew-rates inside the screen of this plugin, and even better if you keep your fastests moments around the center, but it's obviously up to you:) )

It doesn't affect the audio at all. It's just a visualizer.

And, if you want to hear an example of what modern music sounds like with a slew-rate limited to the 70s/80s ceiling (Which I used my other plugin Stylus to do. It uses the default-setting of Stylus), then listen to this music-video:
