eq with frequency analyser for more than one track at once

Post by majicmonk » Thu Nov 10, 2011 11:53 pm

I'd like to be able to analyse and eq multiple tracks within one device.

Hows about if the frequency anaylyser could display an average frequency activity line for selected tracks over a user defined section of a song, then show them in one chart for quick comparison. The user could then select which line/tracks frequency to edit for that section of the song and then double click the areas of interest on that line to add an eq dot, to which he/she could then move up or down.

Example

User opens EQ Analyser, select bass track and kick track, clicks choose region and then chooses a start and end point on the arrangement view to be anaylsed/modified. The device then shows two lines on a frequency chart showing the average frequency activity over that period of time for each selected track. The user then notices that the kick is highest at 80 hz and the bass is similarly all the way from 60 to 120hz. The user then click the edit line 1 (bass) double click the line at 80hz to add an eq control dot, adjust the q and then pulls it down a bit to let the kick shine through. The device would then automatically draw an envelope to that section of the song for each added eq dot.

can you just group the tracks and apply the eq/analyzer on the group?

Yeah you could, but how would you lower a frequency for one track and not the other.

Would be so much easier than going from on frequency analyser to another, then remembering which frequencies are important to each track, and then opening the eq on each track and adjusting them accordingly.
