Why would those matter ?
The first
question should be: what is the purpose of
the spectral display ? In what way is it relevant ?
How do you, or would you like to, act on what it
shows you ?
If you can answer that question, then the next step
could be to determine what should be shown and how.
Well, my initial thought was that it could be useful in more quickly
detecting over or undercrowded frequencies instead of "feeling 'round"
for them, and perhaps in finding the best frequency band to set
things like
gate triggers.
Gate triggers usually are not selective on frequency. If they
are they will be less precise in timing.
As I said, I've really little idea of how useful
(or useless) a spectrum
analyser really is with regards to mixing. Am I correct in understanding
you to mean that it is of relatively little value, and that careful
ear-training and experience serve one better in the end?
Yes, yes, and yes.
