I worked very hard creating these 39 BOSS GT10 Patches using a 64-band Spectrum Analyzer which helped make each patch sound nearly identical to the original artist.

You should have mentioned though that you expect 2$ per patch.

Where can I get the 62 band spectrum analyser from?
The ones I have only have 32 bands..

CREAMWARE 64-band Spectrum Analyzer
The 64-band spectrum analyzer that I am using is in my Creamware TripleDAT version 2.53 (PC) computer recording software. I purchased this software back in 1996 (14 years ago). I use the Creamware TripleDAT 2.53 software with my Creamware TDAT16 (PC) computer audio card and Creamware A16 16-channel digital to analog a/d converter rack unit. Creamware is now sonic-core.net and unfortunately they no longer make these products. Most of the credit for my BOSS GT-10 patches goes to Creamware's 64-band spectrum analyzer. I also have used the 64-band spectrum analyzer when mixing my music. It takes all the guess work out of EQ-ing and volume-mixing my music. I use the 64-band spectrum analyzer for mixing each instrument individually as well as mixing all of the instruments together. A 64-band spectrum analyzer is a must have tool when mixing music.

Thanks for the reply.
Quite interesting, and as you say a useful tool.
I guess 32 band is common as that tends to be the same number of bands graphic equalizers use.

Inspired by your response, had a look to see if anything similar was available.

Appears to be a free VST spectrum analyser, and seems to offer 32/64/128 bands (more bands = more CPU).
I haven't tried it yet, but looks interesting.

QSPEC : ConcreteFX
32-band Spectrum Analyzer (PC) VST Plugin
I've tried the QSPEC ConcreteFX 32-band spectrum analyzer in the past and just now. Compared to Creamware's 64-band spectrum analyzer the QSPEC ConcreteFX doesn't compare because the information it's displaying isn't accurate or in real time. I've tried a few spectrum analyzers in my past and have not yet been able to find one as good as Creamware's 64-band spectrum analyzer. First off, 64-bands is a decent amount of bands (You need to be able to see each band). I've seen a lot of spectrum analyzers that show a horizontal line graph rather than vertical LED light bars. You need to be able to see exactly where each frequency is going and you can't do that with a horizontal line that's moving all over the place rapidly. When you watch music play through Creamware's TripleDAT 2.53 software 64-band spectrum analyzer you can tell it's an awesome spectrum analyzer. The lights move 100% in real time with the music (perfectly synced). People who make spectrum analyzers should try to copy Creamware's 64-band spectrum analyzer. After they are able to copy it's programming, then they could improve it perhaps by letting people change it to however many bands they want, change colors, have skins, allow custom skins, and for fun allow people to change it to other graph forms. I heard PRO-TOOLS has a spectrum analyzer, but I have never seen or tried it. Pro-Tools being the industry leader in recording I would think would have a comparable spectrum analyzer. I've seen one rack unit spectrum analyzer at GARK STUDIOS in Minneapolis, Minnesota (Our music producer was David Pinsky). But was never able to find it online (I don't know the name of the unit they were using). I am just fine with the Creamware TripleDAT 2.53 software 64-band spectrum analyzer I have. It only works in Windows 98/ME however. I hope someday someone makes a professional 64-band spectrum analyzer that works in Windows XP/7 (as a VST Plugin perhaps). It's a necessary tool for mixing music. The Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer eliminates the guess work when trying to decide how to EQ an instrument or what volumes each instrument should be when mixing a bunch of instruments together (Like when mixing a song for example... How loud the kick, snare, cymbals, guitar, bass, vocals should all be).
