Any good freeware spectrum analyzers?

The native Fruity WaveCandy can't be that hard to learn and I can't understand squat from it.
I open it, play with the equalizers and nothing changes at all.

I lower the bass frequencies and the spectrum just doesn't change, or maybe I'm blind and just not noticing it. (it IS enabled, it just suck)
Is there anything out there that is real sensitive and easy to read?

Just isn't doing the job for me..

Blue Cat has a nice freeware SA:

Voxengo has SPAN, another good freebie:

One of the coolest freeware SAs I've come across is Vertex DSP's MultiInspector Free - it lets you see the frequency response from multiple tracks at once:

Nice. Thanks. Mac compatible, too.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.

Glad I asked.

edit: BTW, I'm using it to compare my tracks to pro tracks and I'm noticing A LOT that I'll have questions about later.

But I'm noticing a huge variance between the SA's DB meters and DB meters.
If the frequency registering highest on the SA's db meter on the left is -7db (in this instance 1.6k) how is it coming through the DB meter at 0b? When no other frequency is higher than -7db?

Confusing

That seems to be a meter plugin for levels, not a plugin to analyze frequencies.

Also,

Roger Nichols' Inspector

has a ton of other 'master chain' metering and warning system. pretty dope.
