• Ask HN: Determine sound quality of a file, objectively?

  Https://friture.org/ spectral analyzer. Not sure if you need cli or batch function, but the frequency will be cut off regardless of the purported bitrate even if it was "upscaled" since those frequencies were chopped previously. You can see a sample screenshot in the upper left showing the frequency. re-encode a 320kbps to 128kbps and you can see the frequency range diminished on the 128kbps. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• how accurate is https://acousticgender.space/?

  As far as I know, the only more accurate tools for resonance are those that show full spectrograms, for example: In-formant, Friture, and Praat. Source: about 2 years ago

• Deaf and finally getting Cochlear Implant in a few months. How to get started when I can’t understand hearing speech?

  Get a spectrogram like this one: https://friture.org/ (use just one graph the 2d spectrogram, dm me for settings) Try 2 things: first of all breathe into your mic and try to move the lines/groupings of data upwards and downwards by moving your tongue and throat. Then do the same but take a video of white noise (from youtube) on your phone and place the phone speaker against your lips. Move your tongue and throat... Source: about 2 years ago

• How do I find the source of a low frequency hum outside?

  I got some free audio analysis software here. All I have is a webcam mic, but I'm pretty sure I see something on the spectrogram at 60, 120, and 240 hz. But I'm not sure if I'm going down the wrong path here. Source: about 2 years ago

• Analyzing Voice Pitch/Frequency

  If what you want is a real spectrum analyzer you'll need to try other software. For something free and open-source like Audacity, try Friture. Source: over 2 years ago

• Voice training apps?

  Your main focus should be work on balancing your vocal weight and vocal size and there are no good applications to help with that (there are spectrograms, but it's a rabbit hole - they are very hard to interpret and as practice shows, people do not benefit from spending time on trying to understand how to use them.) Above that, one of the first goals should be for you to learn how to hear the changes in size and... Source: over 2 years ago

• Is the Stable Diffusion music model going to be trained on a real world library?

  They normally train music on "images of songs" like this 2D rolling spectrogram you can test with your microphone. Source: over 2 years ago

• CatchTheWav - Send Spectrograms from your FlipperZero!

  The MacOS app im using supports real time analysis through the built in mic. https://friture.org/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How accurate is the ‘voice tools’ app?

  For spectrograms I recommend friture, informant 2.1.6 and my own one (even if it's badly coded and laggy). Source: about 3 years ago

• i need help

  Friture, Informant, and if you have a fairly decent CPU my own spectrogram which is web-based. Source: about 3 years ago

• Remember, RESONANCE is more important than PITCH! Also, does anyone have any tips on lowering resonance?

  Personally I just use a combination of my ears, and eyeballing it on a spectrogram (Friture, specifically). Source: about 3 years ago

• Vocal training (not singing lol)

  If you're just curious and would like to try a few exercises, gaining more control of your voice and such youtube videos on exercises and a little theory behind it might be enough. I would recommend downloading Friture it's free and let's you see which frequencies you're making sound in. So you'll be able to see where your baseline pitch is and how loud each overtone is. By doing exercises and learning how to use... Source: over 3 years ago

• Do whisper siren and big dog/small dog exercises actually help with resonance?

  You can always use tools like InFormant or Friture to confirm it's changing. But 'annoying gay nerd' is a pretty typical example of a higher resonance male voice. You might not be getting enough change, in which case further exploration might be warranted, but it sounds like a change in the correct parameter, assuming your default voice is chill straight jock.

• Great apps to use? Or other free resources

  But that's probably not what you were looking for. In-formant is a pretty useful formant tracker. It's a bit resource-heavy, so if you want just a simpler spectrogram, I'm a fan of Friture. Source: over 3 years ago

• Best tools & resources for acoustics-related work

  Http://friture.org/ - More for visualization and less for getting actual data from. 'Widgets'. Source: over 3 years ago

• App suggestions

  I've made a lot of use of Friture's 2D spectrogram. Lightweight, gives a lot of information. Makes it easy to see pitch without issues actual pitch monitors sometimes have where they detect it at an octave above or below where it actually is, plus with a bit of knowhow you can semi-effectively use it to monitor resonance.

• Im having a really hard time with voice training any tips?

  Personally I feel I've benefitted a lot from using a spectrogram (Friture specifically). Dunno if you'd also find that useful, and there's obviously a bit of a learning curve for figuring out what you've even looking at. Source: over 3 years ago

• How to feminize male voice ?

  One thing I found helpful was to use an audio analyser. I used Friture so that I could visualize my vocal resonance on my computer. Source: over 3 years ago

• Learning the Python standard libraries

  I started out with tkinter, but giving the functionalities are lacking, I went with PyQt framework. PyQt has much steeper learning curve than tkiner since PyQt is designed to build real world applications (check out Friture https://friture.org/, which is built on PyQt5). I basically took around 200 examples from Stack Overflow and Github, and just rebuilt everything from scratch to learn the development flow. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Since apparently people like my voice, here's a practical guide to what I learned and how I did it. [MTF]

  Use a spectogram like this free one for PC. When you have a darker voice, just the lower end of the bar is going to glow orange. When you have a brighter voice, it won't go away on the lower end, but it will also glow orange higher up, like a spike of parallel orange lines. If your voice is reaching the higher frequencies (it's glowing orange higher up also), it's brighter. I'm not an acoustics genius like... Source: almost 4 years ago

• Need some advice for voice training for people who cant listen to thier own voice.

  Attempting to alter your voice by learning to read a spectrogram as a replacement for audio feedback is . . . An option. I don't think it's a good option, even as someone who makes copious use of Friture, but it's a thing you can try to do. If you want spectrogram reading assistance, I'm on the /r/transvoice discord pretty regularly and can probably provide some guidance with a spectrogram stream in voice chat. Source: almost 4 years ago
