Subject: Re: Real-time spectrogram for Mac From: Dan Ellis <dpwe@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:29:31 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--14dae9340ff5dcdae204d6b4c475 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 As a follow up, I remembered that I had put together compiled binaries of the LiveSpectrogram for a demo I did at my son's school. You can see the "handout" I made at: http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/expo/ .. which links to the downloads for Mac, Windows, and Linux at: http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/expo/apps/setup.html When you click the Mac download, you get a folder LiveSpectrogram_logf.macosx (this version uses a logarithmic frequency axis for more "perceptual" scaling); inside the folder is a file called LiveSpectrogram_logf.app, which has the java coffeecup icon. Double-clicking that should run the spectrogram, which will start displaying analysis of the default sound input (usually the computer's internal mic). When using this in class, I use SoundFlower http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/ to route the output of programs (e.g., sound demos in PureData) directly into the spectrogram. It's a little bit temperamental, but it's great to be able to see the analysis of sound generation without any background noise. DAn.
