This is the best spectrum visualization plugin. But transparancy is missing to be perfect.

I'll second the request for functionality into the sub-bass. If your sub can make sound down there, why not be able to see it?

Love this plugin.
@Mastermind - I wish I could see how you got that to look like that. I have tried to get Peakmeter on with AlbumArt and the Columns_UI. I cannot get them to arrange no matter what I try. All I get is a wide separator - either vertical or horizontal. I really want to put the Peakmeter above or below the AlbumArt panel both to the left of the playlist.

RC

Thank you! I will take this into consideration. But I think i need to concentrate on other suggestions like adjustable sensitivity and refresh time first before something like this could be implemented.





Thank you!
The fft size will be no part of the autosize algorithm. Maybe the number of bands.
The most part of fft based on popular algorithms. The window functions are only mathematical formulas. So only performance aspects have to be considered. It’s not something special. If i don't got the time or losing interest to perform maintenance, i will release the source.

Thank you! It's already on the todo list.
It's also on the list.

Nice config!

Thank you!

Moderation: Propagated image to thumbnail conversion. Also removed two excess emoticons because the board software would not let me save the post with the previous number of them.

You can see the sub bass. All frequencies below 28 Hz are consolidated into the 28 Hz Band. I'll think about new bands down to 16.35 Hz, but only to display the C0 octave (see this post).

Thanks!

@heatstroke and yeye: Check your pms

Thank YOU ! I'll wait then, no problem, I'll be patient.

Very nice!

Any way you could expand the frequency range to 48KHz? I ask because I play 24-bit/96KHz on a daily basis and it would be nice to see the full range.

Yes, could be nice too...

"see" is the right word, because I'm pretty sure there's no way you can hear 48KHz... provided your tweeter is able to reproduce it, and provided your speaker's filtering system does not cut every frequency well before 48KHz...
(just kidding, don't take it personally )

Heh, obviously not. I can go almost to 20 though.

But I do needledrops, and some of these old records go well past 40KHz. I just think it's neat to see how high they go.

Thank you for great plug-in

Just one plea
Is there any possibility you would consider adding scrolling spectrum analyzer like the one included in default UI? After lots of waiting and tweaking I finally dropped default UI and returned back to the lovely columns/panels, and the only thing that I miss is the spectrum. Don't know how hard it is to code, but it makes detecting transcodes and poor rips much easier. Please consider it

Just to let you see my spectrum configuration for full 5.1 output



The image is 1600x1200. Yes, I've a quite big screen ...

This preset gives a full control over all channel level and spectrum.

What a great plugin!!

I'm sorry such an enhancement is currently not planned.

Thank you! The DUI Spectrum is too different from the Peakmeter Spectrum component. So something like that is not planned. Why is the detection of "poor rips" with DUI Spectrum easier?

Great! Thank you!

Version 0.2.0.0 beta is released.

Download Changelog

...

Great Spectrum analyzer! I have just one question. Is there a way to get it in its own window instead of having it within Foobar? Thanks!

Thank you for your work, foo_pm! The new options (like peaks fall speed, etc) are amazing!

Would it be possible to make so we can import from the old one?

Ok, found a way so that I could have both pref windows open, just copied all the entries.

It looks very neat with the peaks falling down.

Thank you.

Question for foo_pm:

Any plans for independent vertical/horizontal orientation of peakmeter and spectrum. You see, I'm running both your components at the same time (specifically -- horizonal peakmeter and vertical spectrum). :\

Thanks for all your hard work

Thanks! You can use foo_dockable_panels to show the plugin in its own window.


Thank you!

Hi!

I've already asked foo_pm to implement this feature, but he said that "it's unfortunately too time-consuming".

Thanks! foo_uie_vis_peakmeter_spectrum Version 0.1.x can import pmf files from foo_uie_peakmeter version 0.0.4.x. The new version 0.2.x will only support peakmeter_spectrum files. I will improve the backward compatibility in the next releases.

Yes, i'm sorry , but alternatively you can use two panels. One for the spectrum an one for the peakmeter.

Wow, thanks for that. I had no idea thats what it was for! I feel so silly now

Thanks again for your plugin, its the best one out there I think. Also thanks for all your help in this topic, your one of the few people who really support their work and take time to help others.

my first post at all, just to say thank you for your plugin!

my config with 0.2.0beta ( i love old 80's stereos).

Hi foo_pm, congrats on a great component. Very impressive.

I'm still discovering it, and I especially like the "reverse mode". This reverse mode is vertical (up becomes down), but would you consider adding a second checkbox for horizontal reverse ? (left becomes right)

Thx.

ah, here's where the "thanks" go.

newbie to foo, loving this component!

Nice config! Thanks!
Yes, could be nice to display the spectrum of channels separately. Thanks for the suggestion!
You are welcome!

In horizontal mode, the lower frequencies are listed first (at the top) like the thing is rotated clockwise 90 degrees. Would it be possible to make it display lower frequencies at the bottom?
Otherwise, I love this component! Thanks!

Great work, thanks.

Something I noticed: I have mono files with a sample rate of 22050. Peakmeter decides it won't display anything on the graph with these files. Anyone else seen this too?

Update: Enabling "Convert mono to stereo" DSP makes Peakmeter activate on those abovesaid tracks

I think it's the same as foorious suggestion. Anyway, thanks




You can also enable the front center channel for the analyzer. (Preferences/Spectrum analyzer->Options/Channels). This should work without any DSP.

Hi foo_pm,


So, any update planned on this second checkbox thing ? That would be really awesome. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to show all bar labels in a few clicks? Going through everyone and setting bar label to show sounds a bit to time consuming...

There seems to be something buggy about the Main bar Drawing style: Rectangles with the first texture option and without the Background Image from the main bar settings.
Peak indicators are aligned properly but the bars are 1 or 2 pixels off to the right compared with the Main bar Background

Hey i just wanted to say how great this Vis is, and to share my cfg with everyone

Basic i know but i like simplicity+sharp looks

(btw i love what you can do with the foreground img/background img, like my burnt brass look on the bars)

Is it possible to add an option for spectrum bars release speed? Like peaks have, but without the falloff delay option.

Great work btw, can't stop looking at it

Hi foo_pm, sorry for bringing this back, but I thought I'd remind it to you since it's been almost six months already.

So would you please consider adding this second checkbox anytime soon ? Thanks in advance !

Hello this is my first message.
And is for say that this is the best visualization plugin that I know. Congratulations for your very great work!!!!! I have one vis for every channel; is wonderfull.

Thanks for share your work. I wait updates.

Bye.
PD: sorry for my english, I speak spanish. If you want I write this message in spanish .
