no, the best tool available is still pinguin audio meter.IMO the best analizer tool is the Waves PAZ... but is so expensive!

Yeh inspector is quite nice and light thanks for link, which by the way is useless as of now as it's not offered anymore and elemental audio seems to be no more (check link for info). Got it just in time 
I still like vox's span though as it just shows a more detailed image, although inspector may just be a bit more accurate, but this may be they way I have set things up.

PM me for a personal backup copy of inspector free VST. Sadly it's no more available on the net because elemetalaudio business change.On 2006-05-25 05:45, irrelevance wrote:

Why it is necessary to cut frequency bellow 40khz? Let’s say if I rec a piano or a guitar is it also needed to cut low frequency…. Or in that case its possible to loose its original tone?
Thanks
Thanks

first of all you (almost) cannot 'hear' 40 HZ, it's not locatable and as such not related to a single instrument - it's part of the 'bass section' (from whatever that is built).
you can perceive the 40 HZ very well (given a good speaker), but then mostly by the body.
depending on the piece you record a (completely) single piano or a guitar may not need to have these low frequencies cut, but usualy these instruments are part of some arrangement.
If the low end isn't cut, they'd blurr the impression of the 'real bass' (let alone the phasing interaction would be almost unpredictable).
Additionally the bass frequencies carry a lot of energy that wouldn't allow to properly adjust the level of the guitar or piano and as such suppress their significant frequencies.
cheers, tom

<a href="http://www.rekkerd.org/dtblkfx">Here's</a> a nice new free tool.
quote:-
DtBlkFx by Darrell Barrell is a Fast-Fourier-Transform (FFT) based Virtual Sound Technology (VST) plug-in for use in a variety of audio software running under Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer.
Use it for…
* Precision parametric equalizing with sharp-roll off
o Set the frequencies so accurately that you can adjust individual harmonics of a sound
o Frequency resolutions of up to 0.7 Hz
* Harmonic based (or comb) filtering
o Set a fundamental frequency and adjust the level of it and its harmonics - you can even remove the pitched component of a voice
o Active harmonic tracking - let DtBlkFx automatically track a sound and adjust the level of it’s harmonics
* Various types of noise control
o Change the “contrast” between loud and soft frequencies
o Adjust only those frequencies below or above a particular threshold
o Clip frequencies above a particular threshold
o Sound smearing (phase randomizing)
* Frequency shifting
o Harmonic shifting by a fixed number of notes
o Non-harmonic shifting by a fixed frequency
o Active harmonic repitch - the content of your sound is monitored and repitched to a destination note (which is quite fun to try on voice)
* Vocoding
o Standard (frequency enveloping) - make your trumpet rap, string section sing or synthesizer talk
o Harmonic based - harmonics in one channel are power-matched to those in the other (or some predefined waveforms) for a new vocoding sound
* Frequency masking
o A harmonic or threshold mask may be set for any effect (apart from vocoding) - for example only shift frequencies that are below the threshold
* Realtime spectrogram (waterfall) display of input and output sounds
o See what frequencies are in your sound and exactly what you’ve done
o Use your mouse to see the note & frequency under the pointer
You can select up to 4 of the above effects to be run in series! Combining the effects in this way allows you to make completely new and surprising sounds.
Changes since version 0.9
* 16 bit display bug fix
* Stereo version
* vocoder (freq enveloper) & harmonic matcher
* harmonic shifter
* active harmonic repitching
* short delay bug fix
* more pictures in the user manual
DtBlkFx is available for free as a VST effect plug-in for Windows and full source code (C++) is included.
It's available <a href="http://www.rekkerd.org/dtblkfx">HERE</a>

Even beyond the analysis, it is a very interesting FX/tool.
Thx Shroomz.
