Yep, JAPA is great. I use it to calibrate PA's

I'm flattered :-)
But more and more
I learn not to rely on this apps and visualizers, because you will
listen to the music and not see it. ;-)
And a straight line in JAPA doesn't really tell you wether the bass
(as an instrument) is to loud or that some frequencies from the guitar
are to loud while it still fits into a linear spectrum of your
music...
I agree 100% with this. Mixing should be done 'by ear' and nothing else.
The only danger is that it takes very little time to get used to a bad
spectral balance or some particular coloration, and almost always turning
some filter gain up _seems_ to improve things. It takes some training
or experience to avoid falling in this trap.
