Time vs Frequency in the Frequency Analysis node

[krent4]

Hello,

I see that the Frequency Analysis node under the Window tab displays a graph of Frequency (Hz) vs dB. Is there a method on Adobe Audience to change the output so that the graph displays frequency and time (hz, s) instead? For example at 2 seconds into the recording, the frequency is 1kHz. I am trying to import the data points to an Excel spread sheet by copying and pasting "All graph data" from the frequency analysis graph. I am running Audition CS6. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm afraid not. The only graphic display that shows frequency against time is the spectral view below the waveform, and there is no data export facility on that. Audition is primarily an audio editor, not an analyser, so the analysis functions tend to be helpful to the ears, rather than the spreadsheet...

What you really need to do this is an analyser that displays a 'waterfall' graph. Many of those will output the data from that as time-slices, and those can be exported pretty easily as a rule. Well, they did last time I tried this, but that was a while ago now. If you want to do it properly, you need something like SpectraPLUS - Home Page : Acoustics and Vibration : FFT Spectrum Analyzer : SpectraPlus.com but it's not cheap; there are several free ones available that might fit the bill - Google 'Audio analyser with waterfall graph' or 'Cascade plot' to find more.

RoomEQ Wizard does waterfall plots amongst many others, is free and can export various of it's measurements. May be of help[ to you.
