Check out our latest tutorial: it explains how to use the latest version of Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi in order to match the spectral response curve of third party hardware or software with an EQ.

Nice tutorial! Could you elaborate on Step 10? "10 - Adjust the MB-7 Mixer settings so that the difference curve matches the one previously stored in slot 3"

Is the idea this - that the difference curve is overlaid on the MB-7 Mixer signal (that would be really cool!)

Cheers,
Finny

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback!

I am not sure I understand the question (feel free to ask again if I don't answer properly): the idea is to keep the Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi plug-in open and us it as a "monitor" to check the response that is being built using the Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer plug-in.

To do the matching, a best practice is to start with the low end and progress in the spectrum from left to right. This way you can add more bands during the process if required.

Hope this helps!

Incidentally, this tutorial also shows that the Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi plugin can be used to visualize the reponse curve of any EQ plug-in that does not provide visual feedback, in real time.

love that!

especially useful with the simultaneous boost/atten of a pultec

In step 6
in the diff pane, select pre and post etc. which freqanalyst are you referring to?
Also in step 7
Hit play, etc. should there be signal through this setup?

I am trying to measure the curve of IK Multimedia ARC plugin, between FreqAnalyst
plugins in the mixer master output of FL Studio 10.

Thanks

In step 6, any instance will work since the curves are shared.

For step 7, yes, you need a signal: you should choose a "typical signal" that you usually process with the effect that you are trying to measure (for example use a guitar sound to measure a cabinet).

This ensures that the effect's response is the same as what you usually get (because some effects may be dependent on the incoming signal).

One more question, as far as signal goes would it be possible to use pink noise?

Thanks again for your quick response, and great software...

Merci...

Sure. Any signal will work (it's just that pink noise is not mandatory).
