Spectral Frequency Display Blocky

I was recently trying to edit some audio in the spectral frequency display but when I proccessed even if I waited for it to render it always appeared blocky. Is there a way to fix this? I'd really rather not compress this as to loose audio quality, but I'm open to any other solution. Thanks for the help!

If you right-click on the scale at the RHS of the spectral display, you'll get access to all the controls for it. Specifically, if you zoom right in on a waveform you would typically need to adjust the resolution - the easy way to do this is with Ctrl+Shift and the up and down arrow keys; it becomes reasonably obvious when you've hit a more appropriate display.

 

This is all quite normal behaviour, and has nothing to do with what you can hear!

I have a similar but different problem. My spectral frequency display has gone "landscape" ie horizontal on the piece that I have just recorded. I have tried right clicking on the RHS of the display but none of thos controls seems to solve my problem.

 

Anyone know what I should be doing or not have done?

Fantastic, thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for. Not sure how I didn't see something about it sooner
