This site lets you calculate the difference in hertz between notes, really useful for drum tuning etc....
Music Calculator
Lots of other useful stuff at that site too

Yeah you can see the frequency but calculating the difference between specific notes isn't quite as straight forward. Doing it manually can be a bit frustrating when you need to know each note's freq and then subtract one from the other (especially when u you do it a lot in your track).

Another thing to watch out for is that Ableton have decided to put their middle A-440hz on A3 instead of what is commonly known as A4.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440
This calculator website uses A4-440hz, so does my Peterson strobe tuner and other FFT plugins I have.
So watch out when using the spectrum device! you need to always add an octave to what you see!
Why ableton had to be awkward I'll never know?
