Spectrum Analyser upgrade in SF7 -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Spectrum Analyser upgrade in SF7 Posted by: Weka Date:2/26/2004 12:10:09 PM A question aimed at anyone using spectrum analysis in the academic world. Are the improvements in the SA in SF7 sufficiently significant to warrant an upgrade 6e to 7 or would money be better spent on a dedicated SA. If the latter, what would you recommend. The subject is analysis of the ultrasonic components of animal voices. Thanks all Weka

Subject:RE: Spectrum Analyser upgrade in SF7 Reply by: Sonic Date:2/27/2004 7:40:03 AM Sound Forge itself only supports a maximum sample rate of 192 kHz, so if you wish to look at frequency components above 96 kHz, it won't cut it. The basic functionality of SA has not changed. The improvements are mostly in the UI, plus a couple new features, namely: (a) integrated docking window (b) single display mode (both channels on same graph) (c) snapshot capabilities (to compare multiple spectra) (d) alpha blended overlap (to make multiple spectra easier to view) Other modes like sonogram, input/output monitoring, and slices are still there, as well. If you still aren't sure, remember that there are free time-limited or feature-limited demos of all the Sony products on the website. Better to just take it for a test drive yourself than to take someone else's word for it, eh? J.
