An analyzer is a visual aid for whatever is happening, and should be treated in that way.
Imagine you just learned how to drive and took your licence: while driving you'll spend a lot of time looking at your speedometer and RPM counter to know what's happening with the car and what to do.
Over time you'll be able to feel the car and will use these visual aids a lot less, however you will still need to take a glimpse at the speedometer every now and than just to get on track (because if you just got off a speed highway, you've become accustomed to the speed and the standard 50 Km/H will just seem slow). And regarding the RPM counter, well y ou will never look at it again.
Now, try driving only looking at your speedometer: you'll crash!
Regarding music, it's very similar. You can use an analyzer or visualizer to get a visual aid over some specific evaluation variable, mainly to confirm what your ears are hearing, but over time you'll need less and less of this - but go a couple of hours listening to something exaggerated and that will become your standard reference point.
It all depends on the use of the visualizer: if you're recording, you'll probably want to check the input signal if it's hot enough; if you're mastering you'd like to have a glimpse on the RMS and wave signal shape; if you're mixing you'll might want more info on the stereo field and frequency domain; etc.  Super Banana Sauce http://www.soundcloud.com/knocz |
