I thought of a question while reading a thread started by BlackOrpheus and thought I'd start a new one rather than highjack his.
What other uses have you found for spectrum analyzer plug ins?
I was wondering if it could be used in the mixing stage to help find a "space" for each instrument. There is a lot of discussion on this bbs about using the stereo field to provide separation between instruments, but folks also talk about using EQ to insure that one instrument isn't obscuring another.
I really don't know how to pose the question any better except to say that I'm always impressed when I listen to a mix where each of the instruments seems to occupy its own space both in the stereo field and the sonic spectrum. The recordings JMarcomb (sp?) have posted are a good example.
One last question, what role does reverb play in creating space around an instrument?
