Can't you just insert the Analyst plugin and put its window beside the EQ window ?

I do this with the regular track EQs but haven't tried it with the ProChannel.

Yes to this idea, will turn in FR.

I've used this idea in different software and it is really nice to see, in addition to hearing, what is going on.

Sure... I've done this...

But what I'm referring to is an implementation where the adjusting nodes/curves are displayed on top of an analyzer display... If you can check out the old TimeworksEQ which was bundled with Sonar many years ago (and sold stand alone as well)...

With only a single monitor it is frequently a challenge to see a plugin as well as the underlying window...

PC makes it better for me (often) as it's use of screen real estate stays somewhat fixed and I can see my TV while I access these things...

I haven't been using the Plugin Chains often enuf to yet create nice PC-based interfaces for my individual plugins which I find frequenting the PC... but I will! ;-)

Thanks Keni, having looked up some pictures of TimeworksEQ, I see what you mean.

I seem to recall one of the groove3 videos making use of an EQ with a similar display.

Hi Paul...

I had no luck with the groove3 videos... Too bad. I managed to get them to display something twice, but both times the video stopped just prior to them finally getting to the point (title/topic)...

I'd love to know the EQ that does have it in 64bit-land? I like the sound of the QuadCurveEQ and it's versatility has been quite good for me... but manually adding and fiddling with a separate plugin feels to "slow" to me for some reason.... and it always covers so much screen that I'm uncomfortable...

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.   
 

Yep! 

A quick google brought up this guy, looks nice, but it's not cheap.

Nice... I remember the FabFilter people, but I don't remember what I remember! ...? ;-)
 
It looks gorgeous and lays claim to quite a collection of features...
 
But alas as you mention, it's pricey.... Well worth the price if it's really good as I'm sure it would be used often...
 
Is it available in a PC module? ;-)

Mix Control Pro from Team DNR has this feature - I've been using for some time now and love it - you can also "solo" the eq bands etc. Also has compressors etc. There may be some issues with the Company as the main guy died recently I believe, but I think you can still buy it pretty cheaply. 
I just checked and all their products are available for a one off price of $29

Also don't Voxengo EQ's have the same thing you are looking for?
Cheers

The Voxengo Gliss EQ has similar functionality but as far as I can tell it's 32 bit.

It looks like the Mix Control Pro is no longer available to the general public.
The site says they will still sell it to registered users.
