Audio Specturm

[countthestars]

Hey, This is my first post here, and I hope someone can help me out.
I am looking for something like this.



I want monitor output from itunes, games, etc because I have dual monitors on my computer, so I guess it needs to be stand-alone. I am using Windows.

I want it to be something basic like the one in foobar2000 (picture).

And, hopefully it's free, if not I will look at it if you send me a link.

And also, what is the proper name for something like this.

Thanks guys.

That is a Real Time analyser Display and there is one in the current version of Windows Media Player.

Most audio sequencer software has such (aka DAW) there is a pretty good one in Samplitude but I think most are Plugins. Can't remember if Audacity has one, will go check.

I think i can recommend you Real player for this purpose it is most useful nowadays try to get the full registred version there you can find all features

Real Player could be good but I avoid it like the plague because of its tentacular ambitions to take over the pc world!

Before the days of iPlayer I used RealAlt to listen to BBC radio.

Stand-alone?

Sure, just wear the T-Qualizer Shirt:

"Frequency spectrum of analog or digital signals are various frequencies those spread around center frequency. Eg. for analog: AM (Amplitude Modulation) signal consists spectrum of carrier".

Akshay, you have totally missed the OP's point. Now bog off spammer and take your jumpers with you!

hi there,
welcome to Audioforums.com!

i have been using Baudline and i have to say that it is hands down the best spectrum analyzer on the planet..

and it is free..
only issue, it is a Linux build so you have to have a dedicated computer to use it..

probably not what you are looking for.
I have tried many different windows based applications and they pretty much suck unless you want to pay..

if you are interested in the windows based applications, just Google "rta" for windows.

cheers!
