Fill Spectrum
Allows you to display the real-time spectrum as a solid graph as opposed to a line graph. This option
can be used to dierentiate the real-time spectrum from the peak hold spectrum.
Show Peak Hold
Toggles whether Ozone displays and holds the peaks of the spectrum.
Spectrum Type
Lets you select between four types of spectrums:
• Linear: A continuous line connecting the calculated points of the spectrum.
• 1/3 Octave: Splits the spectrum into bars with a width of 1/3 of an octave. Although the spectrum
is split into discrete bands, this option can provide excellent resolution at lower frequencies.
• Critical: Splits the spectrum into bands that correspond to how we hear, or more specifically
how we dierentiate between sounds of dierent frequencies. Each band represents sounds
that are considered “similar” in frequency.
• Full Octave: Splits the spectrum into bars with a width of one full octave.
Window Size
Controls the size of the spectrum analyzer, allowing you to optimize it for dierent sized monitors.
Window
Selects a window type for the spectrum. In most cases the default window type will work well, but you
can choose from a variety of window types. Each window type has dierent amplitude and frequency
resolution characteristics.
Peak Hold Time
You can click on Peak Hold Time to select between specific hold times in milliseconds or Infinite,
where the peak is held indefinitely. You can reset the peaks by clicking on the spectrum.
Average Time
Averages the spectrum according to this setting. Higher average times can be useful for viewing the
overall tonal balance of a mix, while shorter average times provide a more real-time display.
Overlap
Controls how often the spectrum updates. More overlap will cause the spectrum to update more
frequently, at the expense of increased CPU usage.
