AUDIO WINDOW

JAGUAR PRO ONLY

The AUDIO WINDOW can be used for finetuning the audio output: tuning the filter offset and size, using the equalizer and tuning automatic notches and adding/tuning manual notches. You can see the effect of any change made in the audio frequency spectrum shown left in the window.

AUDIO WINDOW contains the most often used audio controls. Sometimes you may temporarily need more functions, if so you have to open AUDIOBOX (see the AUDIOBOX help for the details). In addition, also CLIPPER offers some extra tools for finalizing the audio clips.

AUDIO WINDOW has the following characteristics:

• Fixed height: the window can be kept open all the time
• Three sub-windows: AF (audio frequency) spectrum, equalizer, RF (radio frequency) spectrum
• Each active notch is shown as a small triangle on the top of the AF spectrum window
• Equalizer is a small but effective three-band equalizer
• RF spectrum shows the carriers on both sides of the playback frequency and the currently active filter position

HOW TO

AUDIO WINDOW can be opened/closed in two ways:

• by clicking the lower ( SLIDER ) button on AUDIOBAR
• by pressing "J" key for "JAGASS" (both the AUDIO WINDOW and TURTLE are opened)

AUDIO WINDOW supports the following functions:

AF SPECTRUM (NOTCHING)

A new notch can be set by clicking the AF spectrum. The default notch covers an audio range of 50 Hz.

Quick notch reset: if you right-click the AF spectrum, all notches are removed.

If you move the mouse under any active notch triangle, a red "notch pole" is displayed. In this mode you can increase/decrease the notch size with the mouse or left/right arrow keys. However, if you left-click the "notch pole", this specific notch will be removed.

You can have a maximum of 20 notches.

EQUALIZER

Equalizer can be turned on/off by clicking the EQ ON/EQ OFF button.

If you want to increase/decrease the low/mid/high audio frequencies, move the mouse cursor over the desired band and scroll/click with the mouse up/down.

This kind of equalizer is probably the smallest and simplest possible equalizer that can exist. Nevertheless, it seems to be very efficient: the best way to test it is to tune in to a fully free frequency with plain noise. It is amazing how the noise level/quality varies depending on the selected equalizer settings.

However, normally, there is not much more you can get out of the audio itself by using a plain equalizer but sometimes it can be beneficial in shaping the "color" of the background noise.

RF SPECTRUM (FILTER)

If you want to increase/decrease the filter size or change the filter position, move the mouse cursor over either end of the grayed filter area. At the edge the cursor shows a red line, and now you can move the edge left/right with the mouse wheel and/or the left/right arrow keys. The filter position/size will be changed accordingly.

You can change SSB by clicking the RF spectrum window on the the opposite side of where the filter area is currently positioned.
