just curious if there was something I missed that does the same with channel wise ?
 
thought someone here would know / would be clued up regarding it.
 

There's the Voxengo version. From what I've heard it's not as fully featured, haven't tried it though.
I have the FreqAnalyst set up in all my templates. Comes in handy when there's issues in your mix that your ears can't always hear.

you mean span ? I thought that, but didn't think it was the same.. I was curious about this.. if you could use it on the buses as well as the channels.
 
I do have a few metering things, but wasn't 100% sure if they could do the separate elements.
 

I'm sure it's similar to FreqAn where any signal can be routed. A single channel, buss, send/ return, master.
 

There is also MMultiAnalyzer from Melda Production. The full price is $65 but they have sales quite often, I picked it up for much less than that recently. Don't know how it compares to the Blue Cat one but it works very well. 

Voxengo's GlissEQ lets you monitor multiple tracks' spectra, plus it's a nice EQ to boot. And really, what's the point of watching pretty spectral pictures if you can't actually modify the spectrum? This would be my first choice. It's currently $85. 
 
I liked the ease of use of MMultiAnalyzer when I demoed it, but it gets pretty CPU-intensive with many tracks displayed. If you've got a hot machine this may not be a factor, though.
 
I've never demoed the BlueCat analyzer, only because for this tightwad a hundred bucks is too much for a nonessential visual aid. I can do the same thing, albeit less conveniently, with multiple instances of SPAN - for free.

thanks guys, I'll do a bit more research the other 2 look interesting also.. and maybe I'll wait for a melda sale (I've contented the maker in the past and he's helpful) .. I do currently have various metering options, but hadn't realised you show them layered like that.
 

I got Nugen Visualizer years back

Still very happy with it.
 
There's a number of freebies out there that aren't multi-analyzers but do one thing or another decently.
 
Edit: wow - the forum just totally mangled my posted...
Most of what originally had just evaporated...

I have the GlissEQ but I haven't used it in this way. It's still a good plug-in. I watched some of the BC videos and it seemed like more work than I want to put in for an EQ plug.

Same here. The sad truth is that stacking spectral graphs is greatly overrated as a mix technique, although it has merit as a learning tool.
