Spectral Analysis

Post by tikimaize »

I recorded the RRHOF audio from my DirecTv receiver directly to my Edirol. When I tried to do a spectral analysis I get a message saying "Only 44.1/48 kHz - 16 bit - stereo audio files". I had the Edirol set to 48kHz, 16 bit. I have no idea why it wont work. I would like to share the audio stuff, but I need an analysis first. Is there any other programs that might work?

My Hub Audio version is 0.10. Is there a newer version out there? I am having a hard time trying to find one to download.

Maybe I'm wrong but as far as I know that message occurs when the audio track what you want to open is lossy sourced, so because of that Hub Audio Tools cannot read it.

^Nah, don't think it is that.

Try converting from 48 to 44.1khz and then try the analysis.

I converted it and was able to get it to work. Here is the result. Does this look lossless? I converted it to wma and looked at the frequency analysis and it looked quite different.

That is certainly lossy. Why did you convert to wma for? It is lossy lol. I meant convert the sample type to 44.1khz, but in wave.

No, you misunderstood me. I made a wma to compare to the wav analysis. The photo above is from the wav file not a wma. I just wanted to see the difference. Anyway if the show is lossy that sucks. You would think DirecTV would broadcast a lossless audio source.

here is the WMA file.

I don't know for directv but in Europe most (all?) satellite broadcasts are mp2 or ac3, so lossless.
