Define Units and Scales

View › Time Unit

Choose the time unit: Samples, Decimals, Seconds, Beats, Frames, Pixels.

The pixels unit is based on the FFT Size and Resolution parameters of the Display Panel.

[Note] Note

For the Beats and Frames units, you can also define the tempo and frame rate.

View › Power Unit

Choose the power unit: Decibel, Percents, Normalized.

[Tip] Tip

You can lock the center the waveform display to zero.

View › Frequency Unit

Choose the frequency unit: Hertz, Pixels, Octave, Notes, Normalized.

The pixels unit is based on the FFT Size and Resolution parameters of the Display Panel.

[Tip] Tip

You can lock the bottom of the spectral display to 0Hz.

View › Frequency Scale

Choose the frequency scale: Linear, Mel, Bark, ERB, MIDI-logarithmic.

The scales are ordered from the most linear to the most logarithmic. A linear scale space frequencies equally, while a logarithmic scale enlarge the lower frequencies and compress the higher frequencies. Note that when the MIDI-logarithmic scale is used, musical notes are equally spaced.

The default is Mel, which gently emphasis lower frequencies without compressing higher frequencies too much.

View › Smoothing Methods

Choose the smoothing method: None, Linear, Cubic.

This defines how the spectral pixels are rendered in the spectral display. None will display the raw pixels, and Cubic is the highest-quality rendering.
