The Spectrogram View Settings

You can change the view settings of the spectrogram by clicking the cog button () in the bottom right of the spectrogram window:

Clicking the settings button will open the Spectral View Settings window:

The view settings in the spectral editing mode.

The different settings are described below:

• Frequency scale

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

• 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).

• Temporal resolution enhancement:

  Normally, there is a trade-off between time and frequency resolutions in spectrograms. Acoustica overcomes this shortcoming with the temporal resolution enhancement and you can set the time resolution enhancement factor.

• Color palette

  You can choose among different color palettes according to your own liking.

• Level scale

  Selects how the magnitudes are scaled in the spectrogram.

• Minimum level

  The minimum level to show in the spectrogram.

• Maximum level

  The maximum level to show in the spectrogram.

• Grid Horizontal Lines

  Show or Hide the horizontal grid lines in the spectrogram window.

• Grid Vertical Lines

  Show or Hide the vertical grid lines in the spectrogram window.
