156 Audio Montages

Exporting FFT data as ASCII text

When using the Spectrometer in off-line mode ("Monitor Edit cursor Position" or "Analyze

audio election" mode) you can export the displayed FFT data as a text ﬁle, by selecting

"Export FFT data as ASCII" from the Options pop-up menu. The resulting text ﬁle can then

be imported into applications that allow graph plotting from text ﬁles (Microsoft Excel, for

example).

The Spectrometer can be found in the Meters menu of the Audio Files and Audio Montage

Workspaces. It can be used either as a ﬂoating window, or docked in the Workspace or the

Control Window.

6.1.7 Wavescope

The Wavescope meter displays a real-time waveform drawing of the audio signal being mon-

itored.

It can be useful when recording or rendering a ﬁle if "Monitor File rendering" mode is active.

Making settings

You can adjust settings for the display via the Wavescope Settings dialog. This can be

accessed via Functions > Settings... menu, or by using the icon. Here you can set

various color options for the background, grid and waveform display, as well as setting the

waveform rendering speed and vertical zoom. If "Clear waveform when reaching right of

pane" is checked the waveform display is cleared each time the cursor reaches the right end

of the display. If unchecked, the previous waveform is overwritten.

Tip: Wavescope is a useful meter for visualizing audio during recording. The Wavescope

meter can be found in the Meters menu of the Audio Files and Audio Montage Workspaces.

It can be used either as a ﬂoating window, or docked in the Workspace or the Control Win-

dow.
