Spectrum Analyser

Just put of curiosity, does that Span VST, use up alot of system resources?

Well - It seems pretty cool on my Mac Pro 2.66 Quad with 6gb Ram :blush: :slight_smile:

Hence the Blushing Smiley… I’m wasnt trying to be a tnuC.

Seriously though - it seems pretty ok. Theres no controls really on it per-se. Its just a little GUI & thats it. Seems pretty flat.

We’ve just got a beefy sexy imac 6gb ram, 1tb hd and all the works which delivered to the house yesterday.

Full HD screen looks sexy!

Nice one Roben - Enjoy & good luck with it.



Nothing like futureproofing yourself for a while with a beast like that.







Unsurprisingly - Its really good to have a Computer that does not stutter or give any trouble :slight_smile:



Not wanting to start a Mac Vs. PC debate… This is my last comment on the subject - I really dont want to start a Row or Jihad - but since I moved to Mac, I have had NO problems with my Computer. There was always something up with my PC’s.



I’m really glad that I spent the money on something really good, rather than having to get a new PC every 2 years. Looking back the PC’s I bough were the highest spec I could find in my budget - but I should have probably went a bit higher to get something a bit better. But I enjoy OSX etc… everything - much more than the 'aul PC.

Its about damn time. It looks like you listened to us after all huh (not to mention, I’m sure you got fed up with dealing with all the PC BS)?

Well I just built a PC equilivent to ICN setup and no :smiley:



I ran it on my old school laptop and no significant cpu usage I could see

[quote]icn (28/06/2010)[hr]A lot of threads have been disintegrating lately into dirt of one kind or another… Need more Girls around here :pinch:[/quote]

Ok… We need more Guys! :w00t: :slight_smile:

Posted this somewhere else for someone - so I thought I’d Spam here just for anyone who needs a pointer on how to use this deadly little Spectrum Analyser.

An unbelievably simple Kick & Bass Combo to go with this… so you to replicate exactly as I have done in the Screenshots.

Just a kick from a pack & a bass tone from one of the OSC’s in Ultrabeat.


2 120bpm Loops - A Kick loop in A, and a Bass Loop also in A.


Labeled screenshots show where to find:

The Lo-Freq Preset in order to view in Scan.

The Main Freq’s / Note of the Kick in Scan.

The Main Freq’s / Note of the Bass in Scan.



A handy thing to do is press the “Hold” button when the sample you are auditioning peaks, so you can investigate… even when the audio has stopped. At the bottom of the waveform GUI is a Bar that lets you zoom in & out.

When you see A1 + or - a number - thats the amount of Cents that area is off being A1 or whatever - etc… Moving the Mouse Cursor over the peaks will show you the different freq’s involved in the make up of that sound. The simpler the sound, the easier its going to be to tell what note it is from just looking. When its a bit more complex - like noise or a real FM’y or harmonically rich thing - then you are going to have to give the ears a day out while transposing a little. Roll the dice!

Zip - SPAN.zip - 2.35MB



If the aftermath & significance of this leaves anyones head hurting - so find out about scales & get familiar with the bare bones of the Music.

If you bought a Car & never learned to drive it properly - then wouldnt you be missing out on something? Some might even say that it would be dangerous! LOL :smiley:

Anyway… Enjoy - Its really handy for double checking.

Could not open it mate

Bl00dy PC users!

LOL

I’ll do it after Dinner.

Windows Link added.

Cheers shame I have trouble with aiff files as me and quicktime ain’t friends so I will have to check out on my other PC



But yeah it makes sense but then I have been using span for a while as you well know

Shudda built a Hackintosh!

LOL :wink:

Its just a bunch of screenshots & 2 loops. Thats miserable about the .aiffs

WMP is so retarded - crazy the stuff it doesnt play.

Theres a VLC player that used to come free with Computer Music that plays all the non-windows stuff ok.

I use VLC for all the anime I watch but I don’t link it to music files as it has a tendency to not play nicely
