After changing the update frequency for the FFT analysis in JAMin, I thought I'd see if I could fix another long-standing complaint of mine: the graph never even gets close to the top of the window, so while there might be really interesting things going on at low volume levels, I can't see them. It seems like the signal is getting some automatic gain control (compression) before the FFT stage, separate from the compression that JAMin is doing itself, to keep the visual of the signal visible. Passing several test tones through to see what they looked like, I discovered this in the 30-band spectrum page: http://www.naptastic.com/david/jamin-graph-wrong.png The input being analyzed is white noise. It displays correctly on the HDEQ page, but here, well, that ain't what white noise looks like. (You can ignore the peak indicators being in weird places; that's from the other test tones I ran.) So, I'm gonna jump back in the code right now, but I thought y'all might want to be aware, there are some gremlins in there that it seems no one has noticed before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
