![]() The box is shown with a frequency-scale extent from 268.3 to 296.2Hz. The bottom measurement box shows a naive measurement. Let's imagine we want to measure the variation in pitch of the singer's vibrato (or wobble, or what have you). The image shown here has three measure boxes across the two panes - this is actually a composite image, because it isn't actually possible to highlight all three at once in SV. To the right is an image showing two spectrogram panes of a recording of an amateur male singer.įor this illustration I have switched off all of the spectrogram interpolation options in the preferences, so as to be able to talk about individual spectrogram bins with more precision. Here's an example of what that means in terms of the practical limitations of the tool. The area enclosed by the rectangle is based on the extent of similarly-coloured pixels surrounding the click position: it is entirely graphical, involving no audio analysis, and so depends on the gain and colour scheme in use in the spectrogram. The measure tool also has the ability to produce an automatic bounding box for a graphical feature, when double-clicked: ![]() It's important to note that the measurements shown in this way are based entirely on the pixel coordinates of the measurement rectangle, not on properties of the data being displayed. To measure a region, just click and drag a rectangle covering it, using the left mouse button with the measure tool selected. The measure tool enables you to obtain measurements in scale units (such as time in the X coordinate, or whatever the Y coordinate of the current layer represents) corresponding to certain pixel positions. The Sonic Visualiser Help reference describes the Measure tool like this: I follow that with the Texas neo-classical ensemble Balmorhea, along with saxophonist Sam Gendel, for the tune "Step Step Step" from their album Pendant World.About the Measure tool and its limitations ¶ A few needed moments of calm come from Hayden Pedigo, the Amarillo, Texas, finger-style guitarist and his brilliant new album titled The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored. The music collective's new album is no less scattered in its use of noise, electronics and shoegazing textures, yet still finds ways to cohere the chaos. That's followed by Vietnam's Rắn Cạp Đuôi, which Lars says sounds like the inside of an explosion in slow motion. The song "Perfect Blue" was inspired by Satoshi Kon's 1997 anime of the same name. This is the Montreal-based duo of Chris Steward and Rosie Long. ![]() Knowing Lars' love for sonic adventures, I chose Bodywash. We begin with the tense song, "Not Enough." In the past, she fronted noise-rock and post-metal bands like Made Out of Babies and Battle of Mice and collaborated with Cult of Luna, but it's been 13 years since she released music under her own name. First, it's Julie Christmas and a voice that can scrape souls asunder. On this edition of All Songs Considered, our resident Viking, Lars Gotrich, and I give voice to artists making music on the outer fringes.
