It's because the left and right channel are exactly out of phase.
When Plot Spectrum analyzes a stereo track, it mixes the left and
right channels, then analyzes the mix. Because the channels are
exactly 180 degrees out of phase, the sum of the tracks (the mix) is
zero (silence).
To plot the spectrum of each channel separately, split the stereo
track into two mono tracks (from the track dropdown menu), then you
can use Plot Spectrum on one channel at a time.

Post by RTI have a flac file that plays in vlc and audacity but when I go to -Analyze
- Plot Spectrum - the spectrum is a blank screen why is this.
It doesn't happen all the time but I have several files that do this.
Here's a link to one of the files.
