Baudline is a pretty cool program for getting a visual representation of any sort of sound that can be piped in to a computer.

The x-axis of Baudline's display is sound-frequency, the y-axis is time and the relative volume of the sound is represented by pixels of varying brightness.

For example, a 1,000 Hertz tone lasting 30 seconds would be displayed as a vertical line.

Baudline is a very fancy program with all sorts of cool stuff, but I usually just use it to look at what-ever I am listening to on the radio.

What is especially cool about Baudline is that it can provide a spectral view of what I hear on a radio (via the sound card's line-in jack) in near-enough real-time with better-than-adequate resolution. Winamp was capable of near-enough real-time stuff via the line-in, but the resolution sucked. The resolution was only worth-while if the sound was read from a disk (my computer's or some other disk in the tubes.)

You know how sometimes when you hear someone talking about something, and you can kind of hear in his voice some something-or-another?

Baudline lets you see that something.

Graphic Equalization

I don't know anything about graphic equalization except that bass is a low frequency and treble is a high frequency. I also know that voices are not around-about 1,000 Hz.

I hate that music playing stuff has multi-band graphic equalizers because I drive my-self crazy trying to tweak the sound to my liking. I mean, yeah, if there is too much or little bass, I can adjust that. The same goes for the treble, but all those in-betweens are like, I don't know.

I usually set the EQ to flat or turn it off.

Transcriber seems like a pretty cool program, but I have yet to fully figure it out.

Actually, I have not really figured anything out about it except that the installation-thing did not put it in my click-able menu-thing, and the command-prompt command is "trans" and not "transcriber." Also, the command is located /usr/bin/, but I just made a "launcher" ("shortcut" in Windows-ese) to it on my desktop.

There is no online quick-start tutorial for Transcriber that I can find. Maybe, if I figure it out, I will type an online quick-start tutorial for Transcriber.

I went to the down-town library the other day. Since I don't like to pay for parking, I took public transportation.

I was going to take the train to the Tower City station and walk to the library because it is only like one-third of a mile, but it was hot and humid, so I took the train to the West Park station and took the number 22 bus downtown.

The 22 stops right in front of the library.

After I left the library, I walked up to Euclid Avenue because I wanted to ride on the number six bus to see how construction of the Euclid Corridor was progressing.

It looked like a road under construction to me.

I got off the number six bus at the stop by the train station by the University Heights police department and took the train to the parking lot where I had parked my automobile, and then I drove home.
