The question you just asked... This one:
Quote:
I still want to know how frequency response from a song in the Key of A is drastically different from one in the Key of E enough to split hairs about
Okay, technically I suppose it's more of an interrogative statement...

But for the sake of argument --

Even at the most basic level - A song in the key of "A" is going to have buildups at 110, 220, 440Hz (etc.). In the key of "E", 80, 160, 320 ("ish" - Can't remember E's specific freqs off hand).

The RTA and its visual response will most definitely be drastically different.
