You can change different aspects of the analysis by clicking the Settings... button in the bottom right corner of the spectrogram analysis window:

The different settings are described below:

• Level scale

• Block size (samples)

The duration in samples of the time slices that are used create the spectrogram (see Time and Frequency Domains for more information).

• Vertical resolution (pixels)

The number of pixels along the vertical axis.

• Horizontal resolution (pixels)

The number of pixels along the horizontal axis which corresponds to the number of time slices used to create the spectrogram.

• Window attenuation (dB)

The attenuation in the analysis window specified in Decibels. Please see Time and Frequency Domains for details.

• Frequency scale

You can choose between different scales for the frequency axis: Linear, Logarithmic or Mel scale. The latter is optimized according to our perception of sound.

• Minimum frequency (Hz)

The lowest frequency to show in the spectrogram.

• Maximum frequency (Hz)

The highest frequency to show in the spectrogram.

• Minimum level

The minimum level to show in the spectrogram.

• Maximum level

The maximum level to show in the spectrogram.

• Color palette
