cmikkelson41 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question but I am completely new at using any type of software like this. I am trying to learn the basics so I know what I am looking at and how to understand it. Does anyone know or know where I can find information on the difference between note range and frequency. For example on audio sample I am looking at the specific spot has this info: Frequency 818-838 Note range: G#5/Ab5 (-13hz) to G#5/Ab5 (+7hz) Gain -57db This is a personal recording of speech and I am trying to figure out what all that means exactly. I appreciate any help that I can get on this one as my numerous attempts at finding an answer was futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Chapman Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 WavePad's frequency analysis has a resolution of about 20Hz, so it can tell you how much signal there was in a particular range, not at a specific frequency. Notes, on the other hand, are at specific frequencies. G#5/Ab5 (that's G-sharp-5 / A-flat-5, two different names for the same frequency) is around 831Hz (see http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html). So your frequency range is from 818Hz, 13Hz below G#5/Ab5, to 838Hz, 7Hz above the same note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
