Adobe ExpressTry it →Watch full video →Master Editor ·

Demo summary

The demo shows how to enable the colorful spectral map to visualize frequency distribution and identify background noise visually.

Step-by-step

  1. Locate the toolbar above the waveform view
  2. Click the 'Show spectral frequency display' button
  3. Observe the colorful map appearing beneath the waveform
  4. Identify loud frequencies by looking for bright, light colors
  5. Identify silence or quiet frequencies by looking for dark or black areas
  6. Toggle the display off by clicking the same toolbar icon

Options

  • Toggle between standard waveform view and spectral frequency display

Tips

  • Use the spectral display to reveal background noise like equipment hum or air conditioning during pauses
  • Map the colors to the waveform to distinguish between speech and ambient noise
  • Look at the bottom of the display for low-frequency noise and the top for high-frequency noise
  • Use this view specifically for advanced editing tasks like noise removal and diagnosing audio problems

Highlights

“knowing how to use the spectral display gives you a powerful additional tool for diagnosing and fixing audio problems”
