Scientific Discussion / Re: AudioWorklet-based filter bank spectrum analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -Sorry but this all thing is just pseudo-science. Above generated spectrums do not match reality and are extremely low resolution.except that analog audio spectrum analyzers (including but not limited to MSGEQ7) and some digital ones like the spectrum analyzers in display of RME DACs (which I don't have) do use IIR filter bank instead of FFT, though usually are "low-resolution" 1/3rd octave bands or full-octave, but some of them like Spectralissime do go up to 1/24th octave resolution and not using FFT and it have advantages over FFT like an ability to set time/frequency resolution tradeoff per-band (which mean you can have precise frequency resolution on bass frequencies and faster time resolution on higher frequencies at the same time) and change the frequency bin distribution to something like logarithmic frequency scales like octave bands
BTW, what about 1/48th octave spectrum (6th order cascaded biquads) and 1/192th octave bands (not cascaded, and it is not implemented in this project)? Satisfied?
