How to edit frequency

Dropkick_Kid · Post by **Dropkick_Kid** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 10:16 pm

So I'm halfway through making a track and I was wondering...
How the fuck can I check the frequencies of my instruments, drum solo's etc in Reason?
I've searched through the Dubstep Bible and I Don't see a thing?
Or maybe it's cos I've got severe red eye from the amount of time I've been staring at the screen thinking how?

I don't wanna do the whole switching daw's thing for a vst to do this because:

1) I don't have the money for a next daw or vst's and I don't want an illegal copy of one. (Poor me)

2) I don't wanna get into learning a new daw because I've actually started to feel at home on my current setup.

I expect a few Reason is waste comments but to be honest I couldn't care less

So, could someone help a fellow Dubstepper out?

Safe in advance

Reason is waste.

You didn't have to go and say it man,

flying lotus uses reason

basically.

get a daw that uses rewire and just run your reason main output through and you can put a spectral analyzer on the master output of the daw to see what gives

i dont think you can do it man,
maybe try rewiring reason into another program and using a freq analyser in that program on the master output then soloing channels in reason to control what you see on the analyser

Look at how distorted and messy everything seems in the tune on my soundcloud in my sig, bass seems totally over the top and everything's fucked, just wanna sort out the frequencies then, hopefully, it may sound better

Problem is I don't have another program and I'm not prepared to download a cracked one cos I'm all legal and shit

Yeah I'm already set up like that

But, you cant really see the exact levels your running cos it's not the most accurate thing really is it.

you can also try learning what certain frequencies SOUND like, and USE YOUR EARS

You could also export your song before the final mixdown as individual track parts then load them up into a free VST compatible host like Audacity or Reaper for mixing....

Free spectrum analyser plugins:

Right, I did an extensive bit of googling and found a combinator fixed with 2 bv512's..
I think this is what I'm looking for so i can use one for each patch I'm running.. with alot of studying this could be it right?

Yes, I agree i do need to learn what frequencies look like.
But anyway, for those that have helped, big up yourself.
Like Kevin and Perry, Your Large. +1

Remember I've got severe red eye from massive screen staring, a little hard to read
