Question about frequency analysis window in Audition CS6

[joe_edw35292707]

Just to be sure, the numbers alongside notes on the guide on the far right of the frequency analysis window are referring to octaves, right? A1 to A6 is a span of five octaves?

Thank you in advance.

[SteveG_AudioMasters_ · Accepted solution]

Yes - the number you get is the frequency (and note) of the highest harmonic.

[joe_edw35292707]

And on the "Spectral Pitch Display" screen, are those numbers alongside notes, ranging from 1 to 10, octaves? (A1, C3, D5, etc ....)

[ryclark]

Not quite. Remember that you can select to have either Frequency (0-20kHz) or Notes (A-A9) as your right hand scale in the Spectral Pitch display when fully zoomed out.

[joe_edw35292707]

Yes, But ... the notes you mentioned (A-A9), are the corresponding numbers OCTAVES?

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

Yes, this is normal nomenclature: Octave Naming and Pitch Notation

[ryclark]

Yes I didn't say that they weren't octaves. But was going by your comment that the scale showed 1-10 was more likely to be Frequency rather than the Notes setting.

I should have put a comma after 'frequency' - they two halves of the sentence don't relate!
