Viewing Spectrograms

Overview

At the core of Song Scope is a spectrogram viewer that lets you see a visual representation of the audio data. For a quick tutorial, see Signal Processing Basics.

Song Sleuth can show two different kinds of plots:

First, the Waveform Plot displays a visual representation of the audio signal in what is known as the "time domain", meaning that it shows the amplitude of the sound pressure wave as it vibrates over time across the microphone.

Second, the Spectrogram Plot displays a visual representation of the audio signal in what is known as the "frequency domain", meaning that it shows the relative power levels of the different frequency components of the sound wave over time.
