Can somebody offer me a little insight into the ANALYZER window in the DSP plugin?  There are two boxes in the lower corners of the visualizer.  Like a fool I messed with them, and now I have no visual image.  What do those boxes represent, and how can I bring back the visual feature?

Thanks.

They're the frequencies to analyze.

Try these two values:
20
20K

Ah, yes, I just didn't think to add the "k" 

Thanks, Matt

Hi there,

i have a question concerning the DSP Analyser too. Why is the analyser showing no constant frequency response when white noise is played?
What is the y-axis of the plot?

Thanks in advance

The y-axis is energy.  The x-axis is frequency using a logarithmic scale, just like human hearing.

Pink noise will be a flat line and white noise will show an upward slope.

Help!
can I expand the amplitude in the spectrum analyser? that's the vertical scale
 I can change the horizontal scale OK but there isn't a facility to change the vertical scale??

Hello Matt,

thank you very much for your answer   The y-axis is linear I assume.
When I look up the spectra in wiki, white noise should be a constant line along the whole logarithmic frequency axis.
Pink noise a downward slope. Or did I misunderstood something?

In the meantime I did some research your y-axis is logarithmic too and adopted to the human hearing?
Then it's clear, that white noise is showing a upward slope. Could you add a label to the y-axis? Or like Gandali requested
the possibility of changing the scale?

PS: What's the meaning of the three different colored lines?

[Matt]

Each line on the y-axis is 3dB.

The different colored lines are the different channels (and one line is the sum of all channels).

Adding better labels is on our List of Good Intentions.

Hi Matt,

thank you for your answer and amazing support!
So I will be patiently waiting for an update and in the meantime enjoying
your fine piece of software
