Ableton 8 question regarding keeping a utility window open at all times

I tried to RTFM but no luck. Maybe I missed it? Hate to ask questions about my DAW.

Simple and obvious question as to why I want it. I need a 24/7 spectrum so I can see what my frequencies on my master is doing 24/7 (and possibly other tracks so I can see how 4 different tracks effect one, etc)

Is this possible? Do I need to get some 3rd party stuff here? I really need this for efficiency purposes.

Thanks a ton, as always.

Stephen

since ableton doesn't have the ability to break away windows you should use something free like:

or

Well, as Zombie0729 stated, its not possible to break away the default spectrum analyzer, so you need a third party vst.

Additionally make sure that you've checked the option "Multiple Plug-In Windows" in Preferences->Look/Feel to On, so that you can monitor multiple spectrum analyzer instances at the same time.

Cheers

There's a display option with spectrum when you right click on its bar if I remember correctly, or is it rather a triangle? Well, you check the option so it puts itself into the middle part of the screen but it takes a lot of space. No floating native devices with live.

yup, but you can simply double click inside the analyzer and it will expand to the middle. you can make it almost the entire project in size

Yeah, but as soon as you select another channel you'll lose the floating window holding the spectrum analyser, so its not that helpful since I think you want to tweak other channels while looking at the master balance?
