Frequency analysis
Frequency analysis
You can see which frequencies are most prominent in an audio file or selection, as well as freeze the frequency analysis graph at specific times during file playback. Frequency analysis can help show if there are “rogue” peaks, excessive bass or treble, and the like.
- Click the Frequency Analysis tab. If necessary, resize the panel to see the entire frequency response graph.
- Choose Logarithmic from the Scale drop-down menu, because this most closely approximates how the human ear responds to frequencies.
- Start playback, and you’ll see the amplitude of various frequencies change as the file plays. To “freeze” (hold) the response at a specific part of the file, click one of the eight Hold buttons. Each held response will have a different color.
- Choose File > Close All, and then select No to All in preparation for the next lesson.
