I know I can work without it.... Of course... and I depend on my ears a lot more than my eyes in this game...
 
But in the past, I have often stuck a spectrum analyzer in varous places of my signal path to help determine/adjust some thing or other...
 
Tho it wasn't very accurate, I loved having the analyzer built into the TimeworksEQ that we once had bundled with Sonar... I liked the eq too tho it remained in the 32 bit arena and was sometimes a bit gritty sounding... (good/bad? ;-))
 
So once again (I know I've done this in the past) I've posted a Feature Request to Sonar to add a basic, accurate, i/o switchable spectrum analyzer to the Wonderful QuadEQ...
 
If anyone else thinks this might be a cool addition to our fine system, maybe you too will post a request and there by let The Bakers know to consider it...
 
Much Thanks...
 
Another humble slave to music...

I would like a spectrum analyzer as a module in PC. 

Yep, that would be nice , but it is such a small viewing area!

I think you may have hit upon something there, David.
 
I've been pondering whether it would be useful to me before replying on this thread, but you may have made my mind up for me.
 
How useful would a spectrum analyser be with that small a footprint?

That's why we also need a larger pop-out version of the EQ's graph area with nodes.

That would be spectacular!

Many people have asked for this since X1 first came out.  It doesn't look like it's going to happen.
 
I was never worried about the small EQ graph window, as it was infinitely bigger than you would get on an a desk that the ProChannel was loosely modeled on.   If I needed a larger display, I'll us another EQ VST.
 
I could see the use if it included an analyser, but then again, if it needed to pop out to use it, couldn't you just put Span in an FX Chain Module?  To me, part of the point of the PC was to do away with lots of plugin windows, and roughly emulate a large format console.
 
Just my penny's worth.

Very true...    But no harm to keep trying.  

Yes! Keep trying!

Cakewalk does listen even if it takes a while to come to the surface...

I believe we will one day have a graph zoom... when?

It would be handy to have a PC module as spectrum analyzer... I would love that too...

But I would also like it built into the EQ so that on a single monitor, I could read both the analyzer and the EQ's controls... I'm not sure I could if it was an separate plugin....

Remember that I'm dreaming of this from the TimeworksEQ which did this elegantly (if not accurately)...

Post FR's!
