Would it be possible to achieve an even more detailed representation of the frequency spectrum?
First of all, the speed at which the display is generated is very impressive. It seems that my Intel ARC B580 is being used to some extent, but according to the driver it only runs at around 400 MHz clock speed and roughly 20% 3D load.
In contrast, RX 10 uses two CPU cores and needs more than 20 minutes to produce the result in the picture.
However, each application has its own strongpoints.
I can’t tell for the future, but FFT Size 32768 at x4 Resolution is currently the maximum. And that is already very demanding, not as much for displaying only, but for edits.
That is because (according to the screenshot) you are changing the Preferences (DE Optionen), that are used for every newly opened file.
To change the display settings on-the-fly for any currently opened file you have to use the dedicated Display panel (DE Darstellung) on the right side, above the Modules panel. There you can change anything that you can also set in the Preferences.
You may have to enable or disable several settings (to your liking and needs) via the 3-line icon on the very right side of the panel header. As the header also already says All Settings (DE Alle Einstellungen) next to the icon, and your panel is currently only showing 3 lines, you get a small scroll bar on the right border. I suggest to resize your Display panel to see more settings at once.
For display purposes only, this could provide an even better and, above all, much faster display result in SpectraLayers, and maybe even allow parallel editing in RX.
I was mistaken here: it uses more CPU cores, but not at 100% utilization.
I have selected a colour map such as “Inferno” in the settings, but the spectrogram still appears to use only lighter and darker shades of the same colour rather than the full colour palette.
And here is the result from iZotope RX after a much longer processing time. Unfortunately, I do need at least this level of fine resolution — at least to achieve acceptable results in this case and to decide what to cut.
The color map is used for the Composite Layers View mode (DE Ebenen-Verbundansicht), which sums up all visible layers (= not muted) of your project. It also works if you only have 1 layer, of course.
To toggle this mode, click the icon on the very bottom left of the Layers panel (DE Ebenen), or just hit [C] on your keyboard as shortcut. When enabled, you can also change the color map right next to the icon on-the-fly.
Further you can set Composite Layers View as default view mode for every opened file in your preferences, you just have to select/highlight it accordingly.
I would suggest to the main developer @Robin_Lobel optimization. I have an idea of the oversampling/overlaying that is going on and that can be optimized. Not sure why this keeps being a low priority.
