I haven't used the plug-in analysis feature much but it will probably be
useful to record an audio sample in ardour then insert your plugin in that
track. Then add a midi track to record the midi out from your plugin. After
bouncing that midi to a track you will be able to zoom in with the timeline
and compare the audio waveform to the generated midi.
