94-302-vert Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I seem to do most of my sequencing by looking at the waveform, if there was a way to show the waveform for a certain frequency range (like after equalizing it) that would be very helpful for me at least...

-klb- Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 How about doing a FFT analysis? Display frequency as Y, intensity as color, and a slider for minimum intesity to display? I would think that would make it real easy to locate the notes.- Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Cheesehead Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks for ruining my day When I graduated 25 years ago, I hoped I would never have to hear about FFT's again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom B. Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 How about making me NOT colorblind so that when this new idea is implemented I 'll be able to see what the FFT you are speaking about.:shock::cool::dude::?:shock:OH, and tell me what an FFT analysis is anyway?

-klb- Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Gray scale would work as well, though not all monitors and lighting conditions give good results. Displaying 3D data on a 2D medium is always a challenge. Also, I don't think a FFT would be a replacement for the wave form, but rather an alternate complimentary view. Breaking the audio into suitable samples and running the FFT on each sample gives you a spectrum analysis for each sample.X axis remains as time. Y axis becomes frequency, and Z (or shade of gray) is how much signal exists at that time in that frequency. One way to try and visualize it is take your graphic equaliser, tip it up on edge, and record it over time...The big thing this buys you is that even if the total amplitude stays the same, the display will change with changes in the note played.Of course, depending on how good the beat wizard is, there may not be much need for a feature like this... - Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Paul Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 This was discussed over a year ago.It's still a good idea today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
