Default need some help/ suggestions

I have an unknown orchestral soundtrack that I want to try an emulate with a
synth plug-in. I've tried to match the sounds by ear, but I haven't been
able to do it. Is there a plug in or software that can let me see audio
spectra side-by-side (comparing the orchestra with the synth) and then
adjusting the syth characteristics to match showing real time updates on the
spectral display? Thank you

There are such things, but they don't actually do you any good because tweaking
the average spectrum isn't going to do what you want.

What synth plug-in are you using?
Unless you're using large sample based instruments with all the
articulations, and you've been doing it for years, you're not even going to
get close.

Well, a lot of has to do with the dynamics and room reverberation.
