Introduction<\/h2>\n

VoceVista Video Pro<\/span> is a tool that helps you you understand
\n the phenomenon of harmonic overtones of sounds intuitively and in a
\n musical context. The program was originally developed for musicians,
\n composers and singers who work with overtones in performance, education
\n and musical theory. However, it should excite anyone who wants to analyze
\n sound in a musical context.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>1.1.\u00a0Why a new software?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are several good software applications for analyzing sound on the
\n market, but we could not find any that help visualize the musical
\n interpretation of the sound. Most spectrum analyzers are optimized for
\n experts with a background in the physics of sound. Musicians and voice teachers are not
\n normally trained to read physical data. Hence it is useful for musicians
\n to relate the physical representation of the sound to the musical terms
\n that they are familiar with.<\/p>\n

Therefore we started to add visual aids to the spectrum analyzer that
\n make the visual representation of frequencies accessible to musicians
\n directly and intuitively. The addition of a musical staff and a piano
\n keyboard already simplified things greatly. A further step to enhance the
\n understandability of spectrograms was to switch from the linear frequency
\n scale that is common in physics to the logarithmic scale that is more
\n familiar to musicians (because it more closely models how the ear
\n perceives pitch). The overtone sliders highlight the relationship between
\n a fundamental and its overtones in a direct and intuitive way and helps
\n simplify the understanding of the sometimes very complex spectrograms.<\/p>\n

Many other programs are also not very practical to use. VoceVista Video Pro<\/span> has been refined through much feedback from people who use it daily to record their voice students or their instruments. It is not simply a tool for analyzing sounds: it also helps to collect and manage a large set of recordings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
