:::::: 03 - Media Theatre: Using JAAA for audio measurements :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This talk presents a short introduction to the theory of spectral analysis, covering
topics such as bandwidth, windowing and noise measurement. In a second part it will be

The idea of the talk is to PRACTICALLY demonstrate the abilities of a linux console
in the field of audio. My play is not only to give an idea of the possibilities
and leaving it at that, but to present and perhaps create some "realworld"
material with the text-based tools I use.

mastering techniques with demonstrations.
