Pitch Section
SpeechFlair uses Cepstral analysis to calculate pitch. Below
are the parameters.
Window Length (ms): the length of
windowing in milliseconds. This parameter will affect the male/female voice
ranges.
For lower pitch (men), you want to increase the window length and for higher
pitch (female and children), lower.
Step Size (ms): the step size that
above window will follow to complete the analysis. The fewer number will take
longer but provides more detail and visa-versa.
Threshold (%): the noise floor that
the analysis will ignore for calculations. For noisier signal increase, and
reduce for cleaner signals.
Frequency Deviation (Hz): this
parameter stablishes a range bar around the track, so that any spurious
pitch values outside this range will be ignored.
Calculation range (Hz): the lower
and upper limits of calculation in Hertz.
Add frequency grid with spacing (Hz):
select if you want to see the grid lines displayed
Spectrogram Section
Show or Do Not Show: Since spectrogram will take some time to complete,
you may not want to show this image to save time.
However, this display will provide a wealth of information and intriguing visual display of audio.
Bandwidth: the filter selection to display a wide range of display selections.
Higher filter values in Hertz, less frequency details and visa-versa.
Frequency Range (Hz): the upper
bound display range.
Dynamic Range (dB): the lower the
value, the less information will be displayed and visa-versa. In general, for
cleaner signals, you want to increase this number to see more details.
