The Spectrum Analyzer
277
• From Stereo
When analyzing stereo material, there is a pop-up menu with the following
options:
Mono mix – the stereo signal is mixed to mono before analyzing.
Mono left/right – the left or right channel signal is used for analysis.
Stereo – both channels are analyzed (two separate spectrums will be
displayed).
3. Click the Process button.
The spectrum is computed and displayed as a graph.
4. You can adjust the display with the settings in the display window:
• dB
When this is activated, the vertical axis shows dB values. When it is
deactivated, values between 0 and 1 are shown.
• Freq. log
When this is activated, frequencies (on the horizontal axis) are displayed on a
logarithmic scale. When it is deactivated, the frequency axis is linear.
• Precision
Indicates the frequency resolution of the graph. This value cannot be changed
here, but is governed by the Size in Samples setting in the previous dialog.
• Frequency/Note
Allows you to select whether you want the frequencies to be displayed in Hertz
or with note names.
• Min.
Sets the lowest frequency shown in the graph.
• Max.
Sets the highest frequency shown in the graph. By adjusting the Min and Max
values, you can take a closer look at a smaller frequency range.
• Active
When this is activated, the next Spectrum Analysis will appear in the same
window. When deactivated, new Spectrum Analysis results will appear in
separate windows.
5. If you move the mouse pointer over the graph, a cross-hair cursor follows the
graph curve and the display in the upper right corner shows the
frequency/note and level at the current position.
To compare the level between two frequencies, move the pointer to one of the
frequencies, right-click once and move the pointer to the second frequency. The delta
value (the difference in level between the current position and the right-click position)
is displayed in the upper right corner (labeled “D”).
