Once I bought my second UAD-1 card, I've been able to use more of the UA plug-ins in my mixes and they sound great and are very reliable. I also like Sonalksis and Roger Nichals (Elemental) Comp/Limiters and EQs. As for watching a fequency analyzer for mixing. I glance at them, but I never rely on them. IMO, you could find a perfect curve of frequencies and be mixing parts that sound bad, but have great looking frequencies curves. Just raising or lowering frequencies isn't the answer. Solid arranging and parts is the answer. And when they fall in line, you'll know with your ears, that everything sounds right. Relying on Technology only goes so far. That's a quote from George Martin; not me. Cheers
