Waveform
The waveform represents all the Tracks of the album.
Like the Ed1 Vinyl, this edition is dynamic, we can see many attacks of the instruments that gives this dynamic rendering. As opposed to the Ed2 CD and Ed4 MP3 version which are compressed.
Spectrum
The curve represents the average frequency distribution over the sample “Alone”.
The yellow area shows the limitation of the digita mastering arround 20 kHz.
Spectrogram
Spectrogram is another representation of frequency versus time of a track. For each channel (right and left), horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents frequency. The amplitude is represented by the intensity (brightness) of the color of each point in the image.
The yellow arrow represents the normal collapse at 22 kHz (sampling frequency streaming at 44.1 kHz).The black part shows no signal above 22kHz (white arrow).

Waveform
The waveform represents all the Tracks of the album.
Like the Ed2 CD, this edition MP3 is also compressed. As opposed to the Ed1 vinyl RED and Ed3 Streaming.
Spectrum
The curve represents the average frequency distribution over the sample “alone”. The curves of the Ed2 CD and the Ed4 MP3 are completely overlapping up to 15 kHz. But above 15 kHz (yellow arrow), the MP3 algorithm reduces the frequencies to optimize the reduction of information and therefore the reduction of the file size.
Spectrogram
Spectrogram is another representation of frequency versus time of a track. For each channel (right and left), horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents frequency. The amplitude is represented by the intensity (brightness) of the color of each point in the image.
The yellow arrow represents the collapse at 15kHz (MP3 optimisation). The white arrow represents the normal collapse at 20kHz (Digital mastering at 44.1 kHz). The black part shows no signal above 22kHz (green arrow).
