Music Spectrograph vs Audio Analyzer

Music Spectrograph allows you to visually reverse engineer sound and music, in real-time. See a live MIDI piano roll showing pitch and frequency. When playing music files, you can slow down, and even stop sound in time. Music Spectrograph is being using in college music programs to aid in learning music transcription. The Hotpaw Music Spectrograph presents a high-resolution scrolling spectrogram as you listen, so that you can see these patterns in sound and music, as well as how sound corresponds to notes on a piano keyboard. This piano alignment makes it far easier to spot which frequencies in sounds correspond to which musical notes. Features include: - 12th-octave MIDI-pitch-centered spectrograph (also called a sonogram) - Usable with live audio, tunes from your iOS device's music library, or a file downloaded via a URL (web address) - Records up to a 4 minute spectrograph history you can stop, scroll back and review - Slow Down music files by up to 8X, or speed music up by 3X to skip sections faster - Stop music in time, and still hear the music frequencies present via re-synthesis (scroll back a little in time to bring up the ReSynth switch). - Play tunes in mono, left or right channel only, or with center-panned vocals reduced - Color the pitch graph to see if notes are in-tune or out-of-tune - Color the spectrograph for loudness, or graph in black-and-white or with Pastel colors - Mid-pitch filtering to remove some of the higher overtones Use the Input? button to select a tune from your library (DRM protected iTunes files not supported). Use the Gear button to select among several viewing modes. There's a volume control to manually set the sensitivity threshold. Stop playing or recording to scroll back and review or resynthesize sound. Touch the keyboard during resynthesis to isolate one note. For many musical sounds, this app will show you many overtones and harmonics, not just the fundamental pitch of notes. Some musical experience is required to tell musical notes from their overtones and harmonic frequencies.

Audio Analyzer is a real-time spectrum, spectrogram, oscilloscope and octave RTA analyzer. It gives you a visual representation of an acoustic signal. It can be used to analyze the sounds of musical instruments, to identify spoken words phonetically, to measure the frequency response of audio equipment, or to picture the calls of different animals. You can also check “The Singer’s Formant”, the most important measure for every opera singer. Features - Spectrogram analyzer (color, black and white) - Spectrum analyzer - Oscilloscope (full FFT window size) - Octave RTA analyzer: bands - full, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12 (RMS values) - SPL Meter (dBFS) - Recording trigger (triggered by frequencies in the specified frequency band) - Fast real-time response - Sampling rates: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz* - Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) - Window sizes: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536 - Variable frequency resolution of the spectrogram - Variable between FFT computations time interval (time resolution) - Max/min Octave RTA values - Zoom and pan all charts - Measure values in all charts - Play back analysis (just tap on the spectrogram and play) - PIP (picture-in-picture), allows the simultaneous analysis on the spectrogram chart and Second chart: Octave RTA, Spectrum or Oscilloscope - Audio input can be supplied via the built-in microphone, and an external microphone* (via the earphone jack, via the USB camera adapter, or through the iPhone/iPad dock connector – Core Audio compliant devices). External devices are shown in the application only when connected (e.g. external mic connected via the earphone jack) - Sharing charts and audio recordings (through mail, social networks, clipboard) - Exporting to the iOS Document Browser (supports iCloud): audio recordings (wav) and image charts (png) - Importing audio files from another application or from the iOS Document Browser (supports iCloud) - Many formats supported for audio file import - Automatic conversion from other sampling rates for imported files - Frequency scale: linear and logarithmic - Amplitude scale: linear and logarithmic SPL/RMS (dBFS) - SPL meter weighting: dBZ - linear Make sure you use the latest iOS update. *For 96kHz analysis use an external microphone with such capabilities through a USB camera adapter or through the iPhone/iPad dock connector (internal mic or external mic connected via the earphone jack can only be used for 44.1kHz or 48kHz analysis) You can also import files recorded on an external device.
