Harmonic strength
Ring (energy around 3 kHz)
How to read it. Time runs left to right, pitch goes up the screen, brighter means louder.
A sung note shows as a stack of lines: the lowest (1) is the note itself, and
2, 3, 4… are its harmonics — exact multiples of that note. Which harmonics are strong
is what makes a voice sound bright, dark, breathy or ringing.
Try changing the vowel on one note — "ee" to "ah" to "oo" — and watch the harmonics shift
while the note stays put.
