Recording dialogue in the wilderness

… So far I’m been looking for a program with a good live-action spectrum-meter so I can learn what freq. the different noises are at (e.g. insects versus birds versus plane overhead versus different human voices). WaveLab and Audacity both have decent meters it seems. I should add, I work at a small non-profit, and investing (time and or money) in getting the big Adobe Products (like Audition) like overkill.

Audacity can display a recording as a multi-coloured spectrogram , rather than a waveform …

If you must have a real-time spectrogram : one which responds instantly to sounds picked up by a microphone, (which I don’t think will be of any use to you), you can get a free one for Windows computers here … Filtering frequency during recording - #12 by Trebor
