scaling, but switch the legending at the top of the display between Hertz and note names.
Linear scaling is particularly useful for detailed analysis of high frequencies.
As you move your mouse over Spectrum's display, a box appears that shows the amplitude,
frequency and note name at the pointer's position. You can zoom and scroll the amplitude by
moving your mouse over the amplitude legending on the display's left side. Drag vertically
to scroll and horizontally to zoom. You can also use the Range sliders to set the minimum
and maximum amplitude values shown.
To get an even better view, you can toggle the location of the display between the device
chain and Live's main window by clicking the button in Spectrum's title bar.

Utility can perform some very useful tasks, especially in combination with other devices.
The Mute button simply silences the incoming signal when enabled. Note: The active/mute
controls of a track are always placed at the very end of the signal chain. However, since you
can place Utility anywhere in a signal chain, you can use its mute function to cut the input
of a delay line or reverb without turning off the output of these devices.
The Gain control adjusts the level of the input signal +/- 35 dB.
The Channel Mode chooser allows selective processing of the left and right channels of a
sample. If, for example, Left is selected, the right channel is ignored and the left channel
