Read the spectrum

What the spectrum reveals

Pitch tells you which note. The spectrum tells you everything else about the sound: the overtones, the room, and the frequencies you didn’t mean to make.

  • Tilted so music looks like music.

    Raw spectra sag towards the top until the high octaves look empty. A 3 dB per octave tilt puts brightness back where your ear expects it.

  • Close partials stay apart.

    A large transform separates overtones only a few hertz apart, and averaging over time holds the trace steady enough to read.

  • Rumble and air on one screen.

    10 Hz to 20 kHz on a logarithmic scale, so every octave gets the same width instead of everything crowding to the left.
