Since I don't love so much Ableton's Spectrum Analyzer I tried different kinds
I'm incline to use "Voxengo Span" which I think it's very clear and well done but I noticed that it works differently to the others

I made a comparison with Ableton's one, with Vertex Multi Inspector and Izotope Ozone
I noticed that Voxengo Span puts lower values with the Bass in 60-70hz range
the strange thing is that I always was surprised when the other Spectrum Analyzer put very high values to those 60-70hz that my ear didn't notice

since I'm learning to make my own mastering, does anyone knows the right answer to this fact?

I'm inclined to consider Voxengo the right one, but I don't have the technical skill to understand...

I would appreciate a lot any clear explanation of this

thanks a lot

 

blue cat Spectrum Analyzer and izotope insight i proffer

 

hello, frisbi,

try to google for a, b, c, weighting measurement differences (sorry for not having more time to explain these, quite possibly later will check back here), hope this is of some help... *yes*

from all what possible is, wish you the best...

 

I recommend Ik multimedia T-Racks metering , using it since i started,and im addicted to it now.Give it a try

 

I use SPAN since it was released and it's the best spectrum analyser out there. Not to mention that it's also FREE. The reason why the basses are weaker in SPAN is the "slope" parameter in Spectrum Mode Editor which is 4.5dB/octave by default. The reason why it's 4.5dB/octave is because that way the analyser shows the flattest frequency response and you should aim for flat look of the frequencies to get the nicest balance between highs and lows. If you put "slope" to 0 you will get the usual non-flat frequencies detector response. Read the SPAN manual if this wasn't clear enough. I use it with default slope at 4.5 and aim for the flattest frequency response. If you put the slope at 3, you could get a bit too much highs, but I found out that 3 gives me that too much highs 80s production sound.

Cheers!

 

Yeah just change the slope then you can save it so you don't have to keep doing it everytime you open an instance.
It's a great spectrum plug imo, have been using it since the waves one wont work on my present machine. Same with the waves H-eq, it doesn't show the analyser

 

great...thank for all the answers
I'll try to change slope in Voxengo Span to see what happens

meanwhile I also find another very good one which is "FabFilter Pro-Q", an equalizer with built-in spectrum analyzer
I really like it, it's very clear and easy
the Eq is also great, so it's perfect to put it on the Master and use it as an analyzer and as a final equalizer

does anyone knows what it means "Linear Phase Equalizer"?
This Pro-Q works as a "Linear Phase Equalizer"....

cheers

 

you can try also spectrafoo made by metric halo if you can route the master out of your daw to a physical input of your soundcard.I think is the most precise of all and you can make it BIG.An other eq that have a very good analyzer and it's vst au and rtas is dmg e-quick.
