| Aug 12, 2010 at 14:44 | comment | added | Julian | just a quick one: I use Voxengo SPAN (voxengo.com/product/span) which is a free one and really does all the tricks. It even features Bob Katz's K-Systems for reference. Technically it's not an RTA though, it's FFT-based... | |

One of my favorite things to do is keep RX in standalone mode up on one computer while my session on the same network is up on another computer. You can actually edit a file in RX that is in your session on the other computer. Cool stuff. Just won't update until you save. You also have to refresh your waveforms in your DAW. Very useful though | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 22:28 | comment | added | Colin Hart | @ianjpalmer I use it for smaller problems. When I'm in Logic or PT, I can just pop it in and find my problem. If I have a bigger problem, I'll pop the sound into RX. I usually don't use RX in AU or RTAS mode, but usually just standalone, since my computer doesn't like exerting that much force... | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 22:26 | comment | added | Colin Hart | @Justin iZotope's Spectral Analyzer is not realtime, but it shows you the analyzer as a linear image, so you can see the whole song at a time, instead of just one instance. With an RTA, you see a spectrum analyses as it happens. Different tools for the same job, but equally as useful! | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 22:10 | comment | added | Justin Huss | @ianjpalmer I think that we rather use "spectrum analyzer" instead of RTA but that there are the same thing. Well, I don't picture a "spectrum analyzer" not being in real time... | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 20:33 | comment | added | ianjpalmer | I'd be interested in how much you use it Colin. If I need to identify a particular frequency (say a flourescent light) I use izotopeRX's spectral analyzer. Otherwise I just use my ears. I will confess I've never heard of an RTA until today, are there any plugins that are free/cheap/part of Waves bundle? | |
