Now and again i use a spectrum analyser (a free one for mac) but you would probably be better off honing your EQ'ing techniques...this sounds a bit obvious, (one thing that is evident is how some are programmed and give minor discrepancies between each other, if you think detail like that doesn't matter then why are you frequency analyzing?), so here's an old but well written EQ tutorial for those interested, written by 'steve aka hipnotic'

Is it possible to use any of these as a 3rd party application?
Ie, not as a VST?
Would be cool to have the application running on desktop while you play audio from your PC.

I think the voxengo analysers work in standalone mode.
Otherwise, enter 'standalone frequency analyser' into google for a list of results
(I've checked).

Just been going thru some I downloaded on google as we speak
Not as easy as you may think to find a free one that actually works tho lol

I'm so glad you said that - I was going to wade in and say exactly the same thing
They can be handy in the early stages, it is true, but one should TRY only to use it for checking what their ears are telling them. As time goes by, you'll need it less and less.
Don't get me started about people who proudly say how flat they made the line in their analyser!!
