Sonic Visualiser

Sonic Visualiser is designed for studying recordings through waveforms, spectrograms and analysis layers. It is useful for examining timing, pitch behavior and spectral structure in music. Its analysis-oriented interface supports detailed listening and annotation rather than conventional mixing. Optional Vamp plug-ins extend the available measurements, with their own installation requirements and assumptions about the source material.

A useful display begins with a clear question and appropriate measurement settings. Confirm important observations through listening or a second check, and document calibration where absolute measurements matter.
