Spectrum Displays

[Primativ]

Hi, not sure of the exact word but I am looking for a plug in that allows you to see exactly how your track is sounding in the mix, with mhz across the bottom. Does anyone know where I can buy one? and what they are called?

I really need this so I know if my track is too lobsided in the low or high ends, thanks.

what are those meters at ATB studios? anybody knows the name?

LOL, WTF are you talking about? See how your mix is sounding?

MHZ across the bottom WTF?

Head back to the hiphop forum boy.

MHz?

Recent threads suggest they are called Trouble. (Real name: RTA)

WTF are you on about you fool? Hip hop forum?

You can get plug in's that display the frequencies of your track hz and Khz across a spectrum, allows you to see in realtime the mix of your track and whether it is too heavy in a certain range. Do you really not know what I am going on about?

My friend has one in his studio but he doesn't know the name of it either, it was part of a bundle.

Of course... MHz... He must be working with DSD!

Voxengo Span is free.

Well since you can't hear MHz a spectrum analyzer or RTA makes sense. I use a MHz analyzer to get masters "radio ready".

Another free analyzer:
Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst - Real Time Spectrum Analysis Plug-in (VST, Audio Unit, RTAS, DX) (Freeware)

And your friend is too _____ (enter a word of your choice here) to run the plugin and tell you its name? ;-)

Anyway, here is the link to the before mentioned SPAN. (Click on the underlined word.)

Thanks, obviously I'm not a mastering engineer and not pretending to be, but I need to master my tracks as best as I can with my current set up.

Thanks, I think he got it with WaveLab but I don't have that which is why I needed to find another one.

[rhizomeman]

Do a Google search - plenty of free spectrum analyzers out there. If you're on a mac and want something more comprehensive cheack out Spectrafoo by Metric Halo. Hope this help.

I don't think so.

He asked a a perfectly fair question, if somewhat inarticulately.

He thanked the people who helped him. Didn't take any sh*t off the "I'm so hilarious, me" clones who didn't.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone etc etc

When the tweeters pop or the amp overheats, isn't that from kiloHertz?

First a random irrelevant post at Music Computers ...then a question about the most controversial tool in our trade...now stand back and think

I don't know... But I am much more surprised that people have been feeding the really obvious troll in another thread around here for days...

No

Come on dude I know (and you know) what it means.

Plz understand that I alerted ppl so they do not end up being old knowitalls, or smugs towards a troll. I hate those long threads so I was trying to prevent it from happening again.

and who you calling old

[masteringhouse]

Without comedy tired old questions would be boring and you would likely end up losing a good portion of those who can answer naive questions with a little extra "insight".

Nobody was harmed in the making of this thread.

(especially for anonymous posters)

Very True.

Maybe you are right these type of threads (you know, the ones where a person asks about RTAs and then 32 pages of arguments appear in a day) should be there for the laughs. Some of the comments were hilarious. Maybe even for educational reasons...but how much more education do we need on RTAs? ...anyway
They are degrading the forum in my opinion.

Actually I believe it is caused by DC.

I'm trolling? haha you joker.

Care to explain what is random or irrelevant about my post in the music computers section? Last I saw, I was asking about whether or not people thought that build would make a good music computer as I am on the verge of buying, care to point me in the direction of the sub forum I should have posted it in instead?

Must admit I seem to have encountered a few idiots on here already (which is some going). This is a shame as I've been lurking for a while and it's a great site..

Thanks for the positive replies, my OP could have been more eloquently put but I was in a rush.

[RasCricket]

Ahh, Id love to lay some smack down on a reverse-troll here....we'll see if I just cant take it and have to say something....

Head back to the hiphop forum boy.

He did not say MHz (MegaHertz) but mHz which is milliHertz. Did you flunk basic math & physics in high school, Bab?

About the meter: Audition for one has such an analyzer (working from about 10 Hz up to where ever the file goes), which is quite useful for finding out various things about the audio content. Reaper also comes with a plugin for the same, but it is not nearly as good.

[RasCricket]

Funny.

Dont promote too much wisdom here, Petrus. Half of the so-called professionals in this forum have zero-clue what tool in Audition youre even talking about let alone how to use it.
