Waveform Viewer
View your audio waveform with multi-resolution zoom. See peaks, RMS levels, and navigate through your audio visually.
What this tool tells you
What it does
Use this when you need a fast visual overview of an audio file, from its overall shape to a short transient or edit.
How to use it
Open a file, zoom into the section you need, and use the waveform to navigate. Peaks and RMS information help you spot level changes and dense sections.
How to interpret it
A waveform shows amplitude over time, not frequency content. Pair it with the Spectrogram Viewer when you also need to inspect the frequency distribution of a passage.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does an audio waveform show?
- A waveform shows signal amplitude over time. It helps you find quiet passages, transients, edits, and broad level changes in an audio file.
- Can a waveform show frequency content?
- No. A waveform shows amplitude, not frequency distribution. Use the Spectrogram Viewer when you need to see frequency content over time.
- Are uploaded files processed locally?
- Selected files are processed locally in the browser and are not uploaded to TrueRes for processing.
