Frequency analyzer

Hey guys.  Anyone know of a good F Analyzer I could plug in?  I'd like to be able to view the frequency waveform in real time so to speak of tracks to assist when it comes to EQ or limiting etc.
For example. I have an audio track and the de-essers are not doing a lot.  I'd like to see what frequencies those annoying SSSSSSSSSSS sounds are.  I could hopefully then try and manually deal with them.  Maybe a compressor, limiter etc?   Anyway, I was thinking a good analyzer would help. 
Thanks all.

Thanks guys.  I'll give them a try.  I got one from Blue Cat which I'll try tomorrow.   May as well give a couple a whirl and see which i prefer.

The best analyzer for a de-esser is your ears and a notch filter. Use the notch filter to find the frequency where the S sounds are at a minimum, then bypass the filter, move over to the de-esser, match its frequency to the frequency you found on the filter, the apply the desired degree of compression.

The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!
