SPAN by Voxengo is one of the best free plugins available. It can give you lots of information about your audio to help you make critical mixing and mastering decisions. In this video, I share my favourite settings which help me get the most out of the plugin.
Note: I say “spectrogram” once or twice in the video, I mean “spectrum”
