i´m searching for a tool to analyse some sounds. something like soundforges fft noise-reduction, or vertigo´s resynthesis... i need to see detailed infos about frequencies in Hz, and some features like "solo" of a specific range, or "harmonic relationships?" would be awesome...
anyone here know some good tools? thank you!
"advanced" spectrum analyser needed...

If you're talking about visual zoom then Voxengo SPAN has that.PHOBIE wrote:... and some features like "solo" of a specific range...
If you're talking about soloing to hear the audio then you'll either need to set up a bandpass/highpass/lowpass filter like an EQ - or you can use a multiband compressor like Sonitus and solo one of the multiband zones. Place that in front of the Spectrum analyzer in some FX chain.
A tool like Adobe Audition (Cool Edit) has scientific filters that can create band pass filters with 100dB/octave slopes that are really unusable for music in some cases but are really fun for the science experiment (we all do that don't we?)

span and inspector are nice vst tools, but not exactly what i´m looking for. a little to basic for me...
yep, i meant soloing a specific frequency range, to hear only that region of audio.
right now i use s.f.noisereduction, which does the job pretty well, i was just looking for a better solution, with more features....
adobe stuff looks interesting but i guess i don´t buy the whole package..
anyway, thank you for suggestions!

again not exactly what i would like to use, but this one spits out some more detailed infos - thanks for letting me know!!! 
(it´s limited to 30days tho..)

If you gave some more details about what you're trying to do exactly we could argue about that for a while!PHOBIE wrote:i´m searching for a tool to analyse some sounds...

well basicly i want to analyse some sounds ! 
but i agree, i was not giving much infos. i am often the busy poster on this forum here - sorry. sony´s noise reduction is a good tool for most things, and i used it a lot for years now. I was just thinking that are some more outthere (i also have to google a bit more) .... as i wrote, i use vertigo for some things too.. so those are already some good tools to wotk with!
for me sound analysing can be useful for many applications. so it´s not only one specific thing i want to do. for example it´s very interesting to see how sound is built up...
analysing a vocal-chor-sound to see where the basic formants are in the spectrum. or look at a organsound to see which harmonics are used...
this all can be very useful when programming my own sounds ... reverse engineering / resnthesis ? whatever
cheers

It may be possible to build what you want in Reaktor but Im sure you wont find one application that does everything you want as a spectrum analyser just analyses the sound. No program "Knows" how it was made. You want filtering as well which is a whole different ball game. Another idea is HarBal Harmonic Balancer. It does sound like you want a miracle tool to take the skill out of knowing how sounds are constructed, only human expertise will get you that. Of course, theres always resynthesis as you mentioned but this knows nothing about how sounds are made, it merely reconstructs them

yes, giving those application a name was a problem, thats why i choosed "advanced" spectrum analyser. others call it fft noise reduction .. maybe a good name is already something like spectral audio suite ? ...
well, i am still learning. Now my "human expertise" is not that good, that it could do those more advanced things of course, i agree that experience is important. But you have to do something and expand your knowledge - otherwise there will be not much of useful experience i guess .... anyway, i think a sound analyser will always be useful and can not replaced completly by experience - at least for me ...
true. Resynthesis or any analyser will never tell where sounds are coming from, or which instruments has been used. but it shows you a way to construct them, which is important for me.
that Harmonic Balancer looks somehow interesting - i will check it out.. thanks
