AUDIO WINDOW

JAGUAR PRO ONLY

The AUDIO WINDOW can be used for finetuning the audio output: tuning filter offsets and edges, tuning automatic notches and adding/tuning manual notches. You can see the effect of any change made in the audio frequency spectrum shown in the window. Also, all the AUDIOBAR and AUDIO applet tools can be used simultaneously.

The AUDIO WINDOW has the following characteristics:

• Fixed window height. This height can be customized with the [CUSTOM] parameter of AUDIOH=xxx (130 < xxx pixels < 250)

• Audio frequencies are visible up to 8000 Hz (depends on the X-resolution of your monitor)

  • If your audio output sampling rate is WAV8, your maximum audio frequency is 4000 Hz (WAV10: max 5000 Hz)

• Audio frequencies in the range of 0-500 Hz are extended, showing the fundamental frequencies of male and female speech

• AUDIO WINDOW can be used to see the effects of both raw audio (filter) changes and post-processing changes...

  ... so the AUDIO WINDOW can be used in the LIVE / ARCHIVE / LOOP / CLIPPER modes

• GUI is based on flags: the leftmost framed flag is the OFFSET, the rightmost framed flag is the filter EDGE (= OFFSET + BW)

• Each active notch is shown as smaller "notch flags"

• If NOTCH is ON (autonotch is activated), there are 1-2 notch flags visible by default

• TINYEQ and WAVE applets are opened automatically when the AUDIO WINDOW is opened

HOW TO

The AUDIO WINDOW can be opened in three ways:

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

• by pressing SPACEBAR, if SETTINGS > PREFERENCES > SPACEBAR: JAGASS is activated

  • in this case, pressing the spacebar creates a loop, and opens AUDIO WINDOW and TURTLE simultaneously

The AUDIO WINDOW can be closed by repeating the function which opened it.

The AUDIO WINDOW supports the following functions:

OFFSET TUNING

If you move the mouse over the OFFSET pole, a red "LEFT" flag is shown

• In this mode you can shift the OFFSET position with the mouse wheel or left/right arrow keys, or dragging the "LEFT" pole to a new position with the mouse
• Note that if you move the OFFSET position, the filter bandwidth does not change (meaning that the filter EDGE is moved correspondingly)

EDGE TUNING

If you move the mouse over the filter EDGE pole, a red "RIGHT" flag is shown

• In this mode you can shift the EDGE position with the mouse wheel or left/right arrow keys, or dragging the "RIGHT" pole to a new position with the mouse
• Note that if you move the EDGE position, the filter bandwidth is changed (while the OFFSET position remains unchanged)

NOTCHING

A new notch can be set by clicking anywhere in the audio spectrum. The default notch covers an audio range of 50 Hz. If you move the mouse over any notch pole, a red "NOTCH" flag is shown.

• In this mode you can increase/decrease the notch size with the mouse or left/right arrow keys
• If you left-click the red "NOTCH" flag, you can relocate the notch pole position in the audio spectrum ("notch finetuning") by scrolling the mouse wheel or left/right arrow keys
• If you right-click the red "NOTCH" flag, the notch flag is removed from the audio spectrum display

You can define a maximum of 20 manual notches.

GAIN

This is the simplest possible way of analyzing/modifying the output audio frequencies in detail: all flagpoles can be changed by scrolling the mouse wheel (or the left/right arrow keys). Note that you can scroll the filter OFFSET and EDGE also past the screen borders.

The leftmost AUDIOBAR button (= normally WAV xx selection) can be used for an audio RESET in the audio window. RESET restores all the settings changed in the audio window to the status which existed when you initially opened the audio window. If you change the audio settings and do not click RESET before closing the audio window, you will continue to use the new settings.

If the mouse is not on any flagpole, scroll the mouse wheel (or the left/arrow keys) to increase/decrease GAIN.
