I would suggest training the ear with a parametric eq. Boost/sweep, cut/sweep, make it wide then narrow. Look at the numbers on the knobs. That will focus attention on what's most important whereas a spectral display gives too much information in real time to be a good way to learn to hear frequencies.

and they're great for helping you work out just why that guitar doesn't blend properly! You can see where the energy in a mix already is, so you can spot 'holes' that your ears are warning you about. I rather like to have a stereo meter on the go too - that's more useful to me I think than the spectrum scope.

Hi guys, New to this site. Spectrum Analyzer is very useful when mixing monitors in a live situation when pesky low freq feedback Is dogging you. Sometimes you need to find a problem fast and soloing an output send with a analyzer on it can get you out of trouble fast. With all the sound going on onstage sometimes your ears can deceive you. Although your ears are your best analyzer over all. Thanks Joey, ps check out for sale section as I have a few fantastic analog consoles for sale.
