Hmmm... First, how does it sound? I think this could be something like a tool, something to show you the freqs used and by how much but you should try it by yourself... crank or shut down that 160hz on that mix that you like and it won`t sound good. Depends on styles, instruments used etc.. But I doubt that will make it sound better.

Don't get into the mistake of making your mix look a certain way.

I have found frequency analyzers to be a valuable training tool to help develop your ear. However, don't develop a dependency!

Thanks guys. I did cut a little (about 1 decible) around the 160 hz and it open things up a little. Thanks for the feedback.

It's already been said, don't get into the habit of reliance.

However, as a learning tool it can be good for examining a commercial track you like the tonality of and then doing A/B comparisons.

If you have an external one with a mic plugged in you can do all sorts of wonderful room measurements also. They are used in live sound to e.q. the front of house.

You really amaze me Mike--------You answered my question---before I was able to aske it. :lol:

for analyzing a spectrum. :lol:

its good to go track by track and see where different instruments lie in the spectrum as well. yeah more for a training tool, but sometimes can nudge you if you get stumped.
