Say Something Smart!
Attatched is an analysis of one of my final mixes done all in Adobe Audition 1.0/1.5.
Is it okay? It seems prety flat -- I mean, there's no incredibly large spikes or dips, altough the whole thing is pretty..er..."hilly", for lack of a better term.
I'm just wondering if it's okay for my final mix to look like that, or if I still have some work to do... ;)

Thanks!
-Justin :cool:

What I think you have there is the frequency analysis for the spot where your cursor happened to be sitting whenever you hit the frequency analysis button.

You can get a better idea of the overall EQ of a mix if you hit the frequency analysis button and let the mix play. The analysis will move along with the music...old fashioned concept really - it's just a digitized version of a spectrum analyzer that I have on my 20+ year old stereo EQ, lol.

Most decent mixes have a fairly predictable EQ curve...sloping downward from left to right. But that particular graph that you posted is almost useless as SOOOO MUCH of the meat of a mix is below 2000Hz, but if you have it on linear view like in your pic, everything below about 2000Hz is just bundled together....but that graph devotes a great deal of space to stuff over 16K, which most people can't even hear very well, lol.

To sum up this "I'm a freaking know-it-all-sounding jerk" post of mine here, how does it sound? :D :D
 
Haha, thanks Chris.
As I was messing around with that Analysis Feature, I realized the same thing -- that isn't the analysis for the whole mix, just where the cursor is (as you stated).

Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge, ya jerk!! :p
 
lol...I hate me too.

Hey man, I don't know if you have any Waves plugs, but if you do, the "PAZ" Analyzer is GREAT. I love it because it allows you to store EQ curves from mixes that you like, and then you can compare your mixes against whatever you want them to sound like.

Anyway, I have always been mostly confused by CEP's analyzer, lol...so don't feel bad. :D
 
Hey, thanks a lot Chris!
Yeah, I do have some Waves plugins, but not sure about the PAZ analyzer. I'll check on that. :D

Oh! Don't I need a VST wrapper to use the Waves plugins? Audition doesn't see my Waves plugins, when n-track does...
