Reason 4 no vst support

yeah you'd have to bounce it to a simple app, maybe ACID with VST support with the above mentioned plugin

drop your track and mr fa's track in and compare them

i cud stick it onto a cd or an ipod and put it onto a soundsystem but all that is long.. is theree nuffink within reason? that i can do?

yeah search for futures untold reason presets on this forum

he's got the closest you can come to spectral analysis setup on a handy downloadable file

question him about it he's a don with reason and really friendly n helpfull.

search for his posts

You can still make a basic freq analyzer in reason though

You can use the vocoder as a basic frequency analyser in Reason. Put the mixer/synth/whatever output into the modulation input of the vocoder.

word to this!

foobars new spectrum analyzer is spot on. very short delay time too

in b4 macc says use your ears...

To throw another standlone spectrum analyzer into the mix, PAS Spectrum Analyzer: http://www.pas-products.com/

You could rewire Reason into another app that has vst support.....

yeah ive known for time how too make a frequeny analyzer out of 2 vocoders wired into ya mixer but.. i cant play mp3s like lofahs tunes into reason so its still like........ ayyyyyyyyyy do i turn this bass up or what??? if im makin a tune on this frequency analyser am i just singlin out the sub bass so i can see its the same level as the mids and highs then???? if i solo the sub and its hittin the same levels as the drums and synths etc. is that good enufff??????

If you haven't yet, try reading the mixing and mastering thread stickied at the top of this forum, I think that may help you.

This might be what you're talking about already, other posters have mentioned it but try make a combinator on a send from your mixer first into a stereo imager, then maximiser and then the mod into a vocoder.

This doesn't give you a comparison with other prod's tracks but this would be a very good place to start. You'll be able to see how high your track is hitting and roughly in what freq.'s. Compare where your track is hitting with just the lo/high bands using the imager.

I say just export and see it in a standalone app or a vst host.
