Hi guys,
After watching Kent Everett's DVD on voicing I got to thinking...
Is it possible to use my laptop as an Oscilloscope ???
Is there software available for this ??
I would think having a Oscilloscope while voicing would be a distinct
advantage to "See" the progress especially as an amature.
Gregg

Strobosoft from Peterson has this feature. The cost is 100 dollars but there is a fifteen day trial download that is fully functional and lets you try it out to see if you like it. I really like the tap tuning feature. There is a lot of data generated and it is a challenge to figure out what to do with it.

Strobosoft is great only deluxe has the tap tuning features.

Another one for free is Visual Analyzer http://www.sillanumsoft.org/

The description from their site
Visual Analyser is a complete professional real time software, transform your PC in a complete set of measurement instruments; no new hardware necessary

It also has a signal generator which I will use and several other features that don't interest me

Another vote for Visual Analyzer for a scope simulator.

For just FFTs, I like wavesurfer:

Will this s/w tell you what note the top is tuned to?

Sounds like this s/w would also be useful for the Tone Rite discussion...

I like this one: (The Tone Generator)

It has a 30 day free trial also.

In my somewhat limited experience I find it is easier to use and record results in hertz than notes and +- cents, strobosoft will work in either mode.
