I have a problem I thought I would present to the group and attain possible
solutions. I have a small orchestral passage using a variety of unknown
instruments that I want to imitate using a software synthesizer. My problem
is that I'm not very good at trying to guess at instruments and their
harmonic content, so I would like to imitate by duplicating, as closely as
possible, the passage by visual side-by-side comparisons of the 3D
spectrograms. In other words, as I have the spectrogram of the passage on
one side of my screen, I want to be able to add/ subtract tones/ harmonics
in real time so that the synth's spectrogram eventually closely matches the
original passage. Is there any software out there that would show
spectrogram manipulation/ comparison in real time? I have Algorithmix
Renovator which does a great job showing spectrums, but I can only see them
after the fact. If I add a tone, I want to see where it shows up, its
harmonics and intensity (amplitude) immediately and compared to the
original, not after the fact.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Abe

i think you are better off doing this "by ear" but if you want to try
spectrograms see:

You'd be better off posting the music and asking experienced musicians
what the instruments are.

I can guess that instrument in 2 notes Unless its an ocarina!
