Spectrum analyzer, see frequencies live

Every sound has a shape across the frequency spectrum, not just a volume. Watch it move in real time and start connecting what you hear to what you see.

Try it

  1. Play a bass-heavy sound and note where most of the energy sits on the display.
  2. Play a bright, treble-heavy sound and compare the shape.
  3. Boost a frequency with an EQ (open the EQ tool in another tab) and watch the spectrum respond.

What to listen for

Bass-heavy sounds pile energy on the left of the display, treble-heavy sounds spread it to the right. Once you can see this shape, EQ decisions stop being guesswork.

This tool is one part of the picture. Electronic Music Production for Beginners covers the rest.
