WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT DIFFERENT ?
Compared to regular PC based spectrum analyzers for measurement purposes we optimized this program for ergonomic usage and true real time audio monitoring (music can be fast).
Main application: audio mixing and mastering
(PG-AM is made by sound engineers !)
High resolution, full range frequency resolution:
1/12 octave scaling of the frequency range,
1024 values are mapped to 128 bands INCLUDING the very low end AND even DC (NOTE: WHITE NOISE is displayed FLAT in the spectrum analyzer, PINK NOISE NOT!)
Hard real-time (whatever it means in comparison to soft ... ;-)
anyway: we achieved no sensible latency effect between human ear and eye
No loss of transients (all short kick drums are represented !)
No averaging (which also slows down attack times), but true ultra fast attack time (1 sample), decay adjustable in 3 steps
ACCURATE: ONE full scale sample (16 bit: +32767 OR -32768) triggers and holds the Over display
(numerical peak level readout gets red, holds it until clicked) (in German: "amtlich")
ergonomic 80 Hz screen update display, no flickering, smooth decay simulation of best analog PPM equipment.
So you can watch all day/night long without getting a headache !
THE METERS IN DETAIL:
1.PPM:
A digital PPM with 96db in following resolution:
0.1db between 0db and -20db,
0.2db between -20 and -40db,
0.5db between -40 and -60db,
1.0db between -60 and -70db,
max. dig. res. -70db and -96db.
3 decay times, bar peak hold, bar peak decay and alphanumeric peak readout.
2. Audio spectrum analyzer:
A digital FFT with 96db in following resolution:
0.2db between 0db and -70db,
max. dig. res. -70db and -96db.
3 decay times, bar peak hold, bar peak decay.
7 window types for FFT.
Input left, right, left + right and left - right.
Freeze.
3. Correlation meter:
Shows the phase correlation between 2 audio channels.
Standard -1 to +1 range.
Scale also in degrees 0 to 180.
Numerical readout for max. in phase and max. out phase.
4. Stereometer (Phase Scope)
like a real scope, 45% rotated
Shows phase correlation and stereo field width in a X-Y view. Selectable point size (large/small) for better readout on different window sizes and computer displays.
Selectable duration of sample visibility (Visible points: 256/512/1024).
Selectable count of drawn samples (any, any second, any fourth), to scale to slow CPU's.
System requirements:
Windows95/98 , NT4.0.
16bit sound card.
Pentium 133, recommended Pentium II 233.
16-32bit graphic card.
Enjoy !
