Metering
WaveLab Elements contains a variety of audio meters that you can use for monitoring and analyzing audio. Meters can be used to monitor audio during playback, rendering, and recording. Furthermore, you can use them to analyze audio sections when playback is stopped.
Spectrometer
The Spectrometer uses FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) techniques to display a frequency graph, providing a precise and detailed real-time frequency analysis.
Exporting FFT Data as ASCII Text
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis is a method to convert a waveform from the time domain to the frequency domain. You can export the displayed FFT data as a text file.
