Hey all. Can anybody recommend a frequency analysis software system. I'm not wanting to mix tracks or anything. I just want to see the spectrum of my guitar tone c
I looked at blue cat audio, anybody make a suggestion? Thanks.

Real time analysis or playback?
What operating system?

Either real or playback I guess, both?

I'm using Microsoft XP.

I use the Blue Cat Audio Freq Analyst Multi plug in Pro Tools 10 on Windows.

I like being able to compare multiple tracks at once.

Do you have to have pro tools?

More free analyzers then you can shake a stick at.

The most popular is Voxengo span BTW.

Blue cat Freqanalyst is also good as is Melda M analyzer

Also most vst channel EQ's come with a freq analyser visualization built in. ReaEQ from the free reapack by cockos/reaper is free and excellent.

I like Span - there's tons of setup options. I know you can overlay at least 2 tracks - maybe more.

If you go to Blue Cat's website, there is info about what formats are available.

The plug format determine's what DAW can host it.

Hey all, I need your help. I've wasted the last 3 hours looking for a solution and messin' around.

I'm using Audacity for my DAW on a Dell laptop running 32bit. I downloaded Voxengo SPAN and Blue Cat. I can get both to show up in the 'effects' section of Audacity but neither one will actually do anything. When I try to pull up the Blue Cat frequency analysis I'm bombarded by error messages. When I pull up SPAN, I get there plug in to show but I cannot get it to actually analyze audio. If I have a track playing the SPAN plug in is greyed out. If I have SPAN open I cannot get Audacity to play a track….all I get is the “ding” error sound. If I use the “Preview” button on the lower right, I can get it to analyze about 30 milliseconds of audio as it flashes on the screen then goes away.

Please help. Thanks.

If you use Reaper you won't have any problems loading Span and Blue Cat.

I downloaded Reaper last night as well. I couldn't see how to actually get span or blue cat started. I saw a YouTube clip in Spanish that showed some guy doing it. I could pull up a window that listed the Dx and VST plugins but neither was there. Any help? Thanks

1) Extract the dll from the zip and put it into the folder

Program Files/REAPER (x32)/Plugins/FX/ (the path could be slightly different)

2) Open Reaper and create a new track

3) Click the "fx" button on the track and search for the plugin in the list of available plugins. That would add Span to the track
