New developments for future Reviews Vinyl vs Digital

  • The second concerns a new temporal representation of the bandwidth : the Spectrogram

For each channel (right and left), the bottom represents bass, the top represents treble. On the horizontal axis, the time.

The louder the level for a frequency is the lighter the color (we go from black to white, with the intermediate colors red, orange, etc.).

There is a link between the different graphs. The graph below shows the links between the 3 graphs.

  • The pic of the waveform can produce line in the frequency representation (white lines).
  • The horizontal variation represents the bandwidth (black lines).
