Tutorial Description

This tutorial shows how to use the FreqAnalyst Pro spectrum analysis plugin to compare the spectrum of several tracks in different projects, using the save/restore capabilities of the FreqAnalyst Pro plugin. The following example uses Steinberg Wavelab as a host application and the VST version of the plugin. This scenario is also applicable to any other host application that supports presets export/import, with the DirectX or the VST version of the plugin (it works for example within Cakewalk Sonar for the DirectX version).

Step By Step

Conclusion

In this tutorial the measured curves are exported and imported in the same application, but you can very easily import the saved curves in another application: you can for example make your measurement in Steinberg Wavelab and then reuse the saved curves in Steinberg Cubase, Cakewalk Sonar, Ableton Live or any other VST compatible host: share your measurements accross applications and speed up your process!

Now that you are able to share measured curves between several projects and applications, it is very easy to make comparisons between your mixes and setups. You can also use commercial mixes as references and try to approach the same spectrum using EQ such as Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ plugin.
