While PT has the PGRTA, which is a very nice RealTimeAnalyzer, what happens if you need to compare two tracks together?...Enter the MultiInspector.
There is a free version that works at 44.1 and a pay version for higher bit rates.
It allows you to open a 31band analyzer on any track...then go to another track and open another instance of the analyzer and it will link to the previous instance(s) on the other tracks. This allows you to see (in one display with seperate colors) the RTA of the two tracks. Now you can see why the bass is muddy sounding when the synth part starts, or why the guitar gets dirty sounding when the bass plays, etc. and make the necessary adjustments on the EQ's for the tracks.
Excellent idea; excellent tool that works in PT-

Bob,

This does look nice - I like the aspect of it that it will automatically overlay 2nd, 3rd, 4th instances of the plugin so you can do some comparisons. For pay, you can do something similar with Har-Bal except that it will also create an FIR filter to make up the differences between the two files being compared. It's a great way to quickly EQ a track that you want to sound like a similar track. Craig Anderton did a writeup on it a couple years ago in either EQ or Electronic Musician.

I've downloaded it to give it a whirl.

Another one that you might want to check out is a narrow-band analyzer with somewhat similar function - BlueCat's freqanalyst.

This one has an opacity control on the GUI and you can stack one on top of the other to do a similar thing as with the one you show here, but a little more tedious. I've got to give the one you linked a whirl. Couple it with a linear phase graphic EQ and dial-in that tune!!!

This one works great for my needs.. no hassle..auto lnking between tracks, etc.
very simple, lo impact and functional.
But you got the idea; couple it with an EQ of your choice and surgery is a lot more productive.

Bob,

I've tried using this and I had one somewhat big problem with it:

I can't figure out how to get the display to slow down or show some kind of inertia to the meters. I tried using it to help pink/ring out a room on a live setup the other day and it was just too jittery of a display to work with.

I ended up using fre(k)ascope from smart electronix. That one is pretty cool - you might want to check it out. It even has critical band frequency divisions, which I use often in my real day job.
