Frequency (hz) display

MM_stealth · 7th March 2001, 23:56

I wish that somebody would make a plugin that displays the exact highest and lowest frequencies that are playing. Since I know what my speakers can handle, why not know whether what I'm listening to is straining them? Maybe there is already one like this, but I don't see it around. It doesn't sound too hard, but of course I have no idea. THanks!

um... i would assume that normal music wouldnt really be straining your speakers unless u are trying to get the highest and lowest possible freq, out of them

Yeah, actually I found two programs that are good. First, in order to test frequency response, I used the Nullsoft tone generator plugin for winamp. Second, a program called Spectrum Analyzer Pro gives the frequencies through the microphone, or of MP3s/WAVs. By straining my speakers, I just was just curious as to whether music ever reached the extreme highs and lows that the speakers can actually handle. These two utilities gave me my answer. Thanks!

Kick ass idea, my good man, kick ass idea - I've got a pair of amped speakers that are a bit sketchy themselves.
