FR: Native spectrum analyzer plug

I was reading Ron's plug idea for a stacked multi-channel analyzer plug in another forum (nice idea Ron) and remembered to ask for a native T spectrum analysis plug. It would be nice to use this as an alternative to the level meters. I know some people will say 'use your ears' but I do think it would be a very useful plug for a lot of people. It would also look neat and use lots of CPU cycles I guess :P But the plug could be used in lots of places obviously, and I think would be a great addition.

But seriously, am I the only person that would find this useful?

whats wrong with inspector anyway?

With a native plug you wouldn't need to open the GUI to see the analysis, it would be right there. It would be great in racks etc. Open a rack and have everything related to your setup visually explicit without needing to open any other plugin windows. If you do for other plugs, at least you'd have one less floating window. I dunno, it would leverage a Tracktion strength ie. the filter can display visual feedback and cut down on multiple windows. I would like to see more native filters that do this (sends and returns would be much nicer if they had sliders, for example).

BTW, this wouldn't replace Inspector, but be more a quick look at what is going through the filter.

How could an RTA display that small possibly tell you anything that wasn't immediately audible?

Hearing is much more accurate than vision anyway. (eg: look at two spinning wheels. Can you tell if one is going exactly twice the speed of another? Now play two notes an octave apart.. are they in tune? ;))

Grateful Dead summer tour '92, they busted out Casey Jones for the first time in years. Before they played it, Mickey Hart was running around stage with a train horn, blowing it like a madman. I was just in front of Phil Lesh and he pointed it right at me and blew my eardrums. I couldn't hear for three days.

A little spectrum plug would be good for me. Anyway, I'd be more excited about sliders on the send/returns really, but it was just an idea.

Great point..I got blasted for saying this in another thread.

You got blasted for being a twat. Sorry, just the truth. You were acting like Ron *only* wanted to use his eyes which was totally inaccurate. Ron had a good idea and you just couldn't let it be without trying to destroy it.

My idea admittedly is more so my bad hearing can be aided a bit and IIRS is correct that it wouldn't give incredibly useful feedback, and I mostly like it because it's something nifty that T alone could implement. But Ron's idea was actually pretty solid and didn't warrant your repeated attacks.

No, because they aren't accurate enough. (by an order of magnitude) Same reason I don't make EQ desicions based on RTA displays. :shrug:

Your eye is sensitive to a range of light frequencies (colours) roughly equal to one octave. Your ears are sensitive to roughly 10 octaves of audio frequencies..

Your ears are on all the time, while your eyes scan for information is a series of flicks, and are blind between each one.

Your eyes can be fooled by a series of changing still images with a sample-rate of 25Hz (film frame-rate). Your ears require sample-rates of 44100Hz or higher to be convinced..
