• Perform the sample acquisition on the AudioWorkletProcessor part similar to AnalyserNode.getFloatTimeDomainData but better (65536 or larger samples + ChannelSplitterNode-less multichannel analysis support perhaps). In this case, getting audio samples ranging from last samples since previous calculation to latest samples
• Transfer the audio chunk into main thread through postMessage() and onMessage() function on each ports
• Then in the main thread, before processing for realtime spectral analysis, downmix all channels into single mono (all channels incl. LFE, same as "Downmix channels to mono" DSP from foobar2000) audio chunk
• Perform time-domain filter bank analysis (either analog-style IIR filter bank, sliding windowed infinite Fourier transform, or constant-Q/variable-Q sliding DFT)
• Finally, plot the bargraph of the resulting spectrum data

• 1/nth octave bands mode (equal-tempered scale, adjustable reference frequency and supports transposing like in old foo_musical_spectrum component for foobar2000) and frequency bands mode (supports Mel/Bark/ERB psychoacoustic scales and others like hyperbolic sine, nth root, and period, in-addition to standard linear and logarithmic frequency scales)
• Adjustable frequency range in Hz for frequency bands equally spaced in arbitrary frequency scale, and in note index # (starting from C0 = ~16Hz) on octave bands mode
• Truly constant-Q (assuming logarithmic frequency scale since the bandwidth is automatically determined by frequency band's lower and upper boundaries), no longer limited to 32768 samples (~682.7ms at 48kHz sampling rate) but it can be set to be variable-Q by unchecking "Use constant-Q instead" if you want better time resolution at lower frequencies, where minimum Hz resolution (to cope with time/frequency resolution tradeoff) is specified by "time resolution" parameter in milliseconds
• Bandwidth for this filter bank is adjustable; higher values makes a smoothed spectrum while having improved time resolution on bass frequencies at the same time and vice versa
• Three filter bank types are supported:
  
  • Analog-style analyzer: Cascaded biquad bandpass filters, simply stacking one another is good enough even without a flat-top response of Butterworth bandpass filters. Also, Q values are prewarped (unless you opt-out) for "truly" logarithmic resolution as this filter bank is designed using bilinear transform (borrowed from RBJ EQ cookbook)
  • Sliding windowed infinite Fourier transform: which is a bank of IIR complex resonators and it resembles a Gammatone filter on 4th order cascaded SWIFT
  • Variable-Q sliding DFT: Recursive FIR filter bank, complex-valued. Also have an option to use NC method to enhance time/frequency resolution. Window function options are limited to cosine sums like Hann and Hamming windows but custom frequency-domain windowing are supported and since it is a FIR type of filter bank, there is a "maximum time resolution" parameter that determine how long the circular buffer should be, which is no longer constant-Q if gets too low
• For IIR filter bank modes: Adjustable filter order, higher values reduces leakage at the expense of some time resolution (especially on lower frequencies)
• Peak decay and exponential moving average-based smoothing as well as optional fading peaks effect. Also an option to perform time smoothing operation during calculation rather than after (in other words, per-sample instead of per-frame) for greater accuracy and framerate-independence
• Linear and nth root amplitude scale is supported in-addition to logarithmic/dB scale. Also, dB range on this visualization can be adjusted and "Use absolute value" sets minimum dB range to -∞ dBFS on linear/nth root amplitude mode
• Multiple X-axis scales supported:
  • Decade: A standard grid for logarithmic scale
  • Octaves: Each label/line corresponds to center frequencies of a common 10-band graphic equalizer
  • Notes: Frequency gridlines are equidistantly-spaced in logarithmic frequency scale, following 1/12th octave bands and each label displays musical notes instead of Hz
  • Automatic: Frequency grid-lines and labels corresponds to actual frequency bands, much like foobar2000's built-in "Spectrum" visualization though X-axis labels become cluttered on large number of bands
• Y-axis labels are in dB even if in linear/nth root scale and dB step for Y-axis grid are adjustable. Common dB interval values to set are 6dB, 10dB, 12dB, and 20dB, though it can be almost any value
• As this project is intended towards audio analysis algorithms (in this case, IIR filter banks) and not intended to be eye-candy after all, color customization is very limited; it boils down to just light/dark mode and a switch between solid color and color gradient (borrowed from foobar2000 built-in visualizations for gradients)

• Infinite average spectrum (which is what one of many things I wanted to be added in version 2.x.x.x of @Crossover's foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer component for foobar2000) like this:
  
  
  
• Bark scale labels and grid, which follows more closely to auditory perception (I already know that it is neither linear nor logarithmic) than standard octave interval found in typical graphic equalizer effects from media players like Winamp. Something like this:
  
  
• Listen to certain frequencies feature like in Voxengo SPAN, which alters the audio output to what filter bank output sound like but it won't affect the analyzer (BTW, this is not possible as foobar2000 component iirc, but it is definitely possible as a VST plugin). Requires a new separate AudioWorkletProcessor dedicated for that since the filter bank analyzer is actually calculated in main thread (much like "Visualize with VST" feature in foo_dsp_vst3 component)
• Tooltips on hovering over the visualizer window, to show Hz, closest note to frequency, and what dB corresponds to cursor, similar to foo_musical_spectrum

Sorry but this all thing is just pseudo-science. Above generated spectrums do not match reality and are extremely low resolution.

• Can use either of three different averaging domains:
  • Linear: Good approximation to RMS averaging if you don't care about mathematical definition
  • Squared (RMS): Follows the exact mathematical definition of root mean square (RMS) so it is my personal favorite domain for averaging the spectrum and the RMS part of peakmeter visualizations
  • Logarithmic: Similar to foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer's current logarithmic averaging but converging
• Can be frozen (but not the main spectrum nor the peaks) separately where as "Freeze analyzer" stops audio analysis altogether

Also, new frequency grid modes:

• Coarser decadic gridlines: (top is similar to current foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer's frequency label layout, bottom is without minor labels/gridlines)
  
• Power of two labels and gridlines where every label is the exact center frequency of C note when C5 = 512Hz:
  This is similar to standard octave band gridlines (which lines up with standard graphic equalizer effect in audio players like Windows Media Player), which look like this:
  

• NEW: First in, first out (FIFO) averaging, which can even be combined with infinite average graph. Note, this type of averaging uses of a lot of CPU, which could mean this part is the one where using AVX2 instructions is helpful for foobar2000 components like foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer right? And you need a beefy CPU to run FIFO average graph at 60fps
• NEW: Spectrogram display (and combined spectrum/spectrogram display where bottom part acts like waterfall), with adjustable "hop size" (in samples) to change spectrogram scrolling speed
• NEW: Alternate color scheme (on color gradient mode, it changes into something similar to foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer's default color preset, and on solid color mode, it changes the foreground and background color of dark mode into something reminiscent of foobar2000's built-in visualizations on dark mode)
• NEW: Linear frequency grid/label mode (works best on linear frequency scale)
• ENHANCEMENT: Main graph can be hidden (e.g. only show FIFO average graph for highly-accurate replica of Monstercat visualizer, which is something for foobar2000 users wanting Monstercat-like visualizer on their Columns UI layout through foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer 2.x.x.x perhaps)

Will it be hardware accelerated in foobar2000 as the default ones are?
