See the frequencies live on the EQ

Would like to be able to watch the audio frequencies live to dial in where to adjust the EQ settings. Example, is there a high mid spike I need to control better?

Yes, a Real-time Analyzer (RTA) block would be awesome.

Good idea. An underlying RTA in the EQs would be very helpful. Best switchable, because you only need it to set the EQ and switching it off after this would save CPU consumption.

Would love to see this in one of the next updates!

Yess! In order to dial tones without having to use a DAW and analyzer plugin, a built - in fq spectrum would be a savior.

Oof an RTA would be killer. Definitely earned my vote! This, key-based pitch correction and intelligent harmonies are all much-needed.

Great idea, would be very useful.

It could easily be implemented on the tuner. I have a tuner app on the phone that also shows the frequencies of each note played. If my old phone can show frequencies, why can’t this super heavy duty device?
I need it very much.

RTA on the parametric EQ would be amazing.
Is this anywhere near the top of the list by now?

One of the best feature requests I’ve even heard. This would be so useful, even teachful on some points to users like me. Really hope they notice and apply with any future updates. :+1: :pray:

Until neural hears us, the following is a possible workaround I use from time to time to make sure my presets are somewhat balanced across the frequencies like I want it: Go into an interface / use usb like you would for recording, open a up a DAW, insert a frequency analyzer into the track your QCs output is sent to and open it up :raised_hands:

Nice advice, thanks. I’ll try that.
Do you think it will be helpful for live situations as well? I think it depends, and final output always tied up to the FOH guy, right?

I think this feature might be mostly useful for recordings. Just wondered your opinions.

At least for metal-ish bass presets I love graphical live freq. analyzers, because that way it’s pretty easy to tell if my distorted high end is around the same ballpark as the clean low end volume wise. But it can be useful for guitar too, because with some experience it’s kinda easy to see where your preset might need a little boost or a cut to get the tone to where you want it to be.
I also find it super helpful to see what the EQ moves I make do to the signal in real time, especially if some EQ-bands are overlapping it’s kinda hard to tell by ear how wide q should be set or how much gain is needed.

in the meantime there’s also the old ‘earballing’ trick from analog days:

Turn down your level/track vol till it’s barely perceptible, then any unbalanced freqs will either disappear totally or poke way out.
