Spectrum Analyzers.....

[RiF]

I tried to do that recently, didn't really seem to work very well. I got a really weird, thin sounding mix.

It is not as easy as just capturing the source spectrum and applying it to your mix. Some adjustments are to be made, but it helps to show you the direction if you are as unexperienced as I am. There are these up and down buttons that adjust the amount of frequency adjustment and I reduced them, because CurveEQs suggestion sounded pretty weird to my ears, too.

I'd rather use my ears than using my eyes.

Who doesent?

A SA's just second opinion for tweaking, if necessary.

Schwa's Schope is pretty dam cool cause you can insert it on a couple of tracks and look at the overlapping frequency response. www.stillwellaudio.com

If you're on the mac then check out Spectre its wickedly cool

AMEN.

Took a while for someone to mention this.

Lots of people here seem to be using these... I find it a bit weird...

I only use my analyzer to check what's going below 40Hz if I'm suspicious about something.

I was waiting for somebody to use that exact quote, as usual.

I usually use my ears to find out what sounds good or bad and then use the analyzers to pinpoint the certain frequencies, because I usually miss them by a little

I'd rather use both my ears and eyes.

Noone wants you to disconnect your speakers and use only the analyzer

It is only a valuable tool which you can use to your advantage.

More tools = more options.

Well.... you're right but the problem is that these things are not exactly accurate as far as I know...

hmmm... I don't know, I'm just a bit old school I guess.
