Spectrograms
This dialog controls the level of detail in the track display when you select the Spectrum or Pitch EAC views of your tracks. These are useful for in-depth frequency analysis. (Chapter 11 has a nice introduction to frequency analysis.) There is whole lot of math going on here that I do not understand, but I am grateful to the brainiacs who do understand the math and refine the algorithms that make digital audio engineering possible. The first setting, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) Window, controls how much frequency detail is shown. Larger FFT sizes show more bass frequencies and less detailed time resolution.
Window type lists things like Rectangular, Hanning, Bartlett, Hamming, Welch, and Gaussian. In the plainest terms I can think ...
