Any free software for these waterfall spectrum analysers?

Freeware... the standard is Spectrum Lab (speclab) which you can download here

http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/spectra1.html

There are quite a few threads at the HTF (Home Theatre Forum) on using it, including a settings guideline (so that all the graphs are visually comparable) :

-48kHz or 44.1kHz sample rate

-waterwall scroll interval 120ms

-range -70-0dB

-fft input size 16384

-decimate input by 8

-freq. range 0Hz-120Hz

Some track samples can be found at:

The 3D waterfall plots are Energy-Time-Frequency plots and require time domain measurement equipment, such as TEF, MLSSA, SMAART, or the most cost effective, ETF software for $150.

I don't need to measure anything (i.e. with a microphone). I'm

simply interesting in the spectral content of certain CD tracks (that

are therefore already "data").

Mark Knopfler - The Ragpieker's Dream

Why Aye Man

A Place Where We Used To Live

You Don't Know You're Born

It's not crazy bass, but for it to be a beautiful song with lots of

great guitar and vocals, it sure does have a ton of bass throughout

most of it.

Delbert McClinton - Never Been Rocked Enough

Miss You Fever

Why Me

Pretty much same as Why Aye Man. Great song with some great

music, and a lot of punchy bass (if you've got it turned up - like I do

right now :D )


Paul Simon - Negotiations and Love Songs 1971 - 1986

Slip Slidin' Away

The Cool, Cool River

Not as much as the others, but there's an appreciable amount of punch on the bass notes.

That's really all I can think of at the moment. Oh, and this is

all 'musical' bass that should come through your speakers. I'm

assuming you're not talking about the really low stuff that should come

through the sub.

If you, or anyone else, wants some of these songs, IM on AIM at speakerdreamer, and I'll send them to you.

Could suggest a

song, avalible on cd that has a load of low bass, somthing that last

the whole song. I will need album name as well Thanks

Pick up a Mickey Hart - Planet Drums CD it has tons of bass throughout the disc....kinda wild too.

That is one of the four recommended drum CDs from the artcle I mentionned here:

I recently discovered a free downloadable audio magazine at http://www.tone.ws

In the first issue, a drummer recommended what he thought were the best drum CDs to have.

I'll like get it, because Circle of Drums was certainly an amazing suggestion. I have never heard such lifelike drums on a sound system than this CD on my KHorns.

Breakage - Together is a good one. It's from a Genre called Dubstep. You said you wanted continuous low Bass, right?

By the way - this is a very old thread...

Very old tune - but a great tune - 'Closer to Home' by Grand Funk Railroad has a very musical rolling bass line throughout the whole tune that carries the melody

also Dido (got to be careful how I spell or say that name - from "Safe Trip Home" - for deep down bass - two tracks - 'Grafton Street' and 'Under a Northern Sky. This album is also great for female voice and is one of my favourite test CDs - (another is Joan Osborne "Relish")

Who in their right mind would name their child 'Dido'? And her poor brother's name is Rolo!

Well I was kinda unclear, sorry. I was thinking stong bass in the lower 50hz. I am putting a Cd together to test diy sub's and so forth. I would like music and not test tones, anything with solid clean bass throughout. NO RAP!

The purpose, again to test subs, but also to piss off the parents my shaking the whole house, and saying bye to the rodents wouldn't be too bad either, although I don't think we have any.

Clearly, the Boston Rally Bass Collection is tuned for this duty...
