One feature I actually used in Spectrum, that I'm not sure everyone did, was tap mode. Seemed like the easiest way to lay out a preliminary grid on a song. Maybe it's just the old drummer part of me coming out.
Is there anything like that? Or maybe Beat Detection helps out with that? Not sure how it works. |

You're exactly right about beat detection and how it works. If you look at the audio view along the very top of the screen you will see little gray marks every so often those marks are the major beats of the song. Drop your event timing marks at each one and you're golden.

We need a tutorial on how to read the spectrogram. The beat detection works to an extent (the algorithm picks up a few extras and drops a few sometimes), but once you know how to read the spectrogram everything becomes very clear.
In general, lower on the spectrogram is bass, higher is treble. Colors from blue-cyan-green-yellow-red are from low to high in volume respectively.
A song with a heavy bass rhythm will show red blobs near the bottom of the spectrogram.
My best recommendation is to load up some of your favorite songs and learn what the display is telling you. You can also toggle over to the "classic" amplitude view or just a certain music note with the "A" key.

Nobody else will say it.
Use Wizards in Winter - it has a wide range of frequencies and is repetitive.
Will go ahead and do a video tutorial tonight and get a link posted.

WIW is a good one to familiarize yourself with the Spectrogram for the rock sound.
Another one I like to use to show off how much more you see with the spectrogram versus the classic display is TSO's "Faith Noel". Faith Noel is so highly compressed that the classic amplitude display looks like a flat topped plateau... but in the Spectrogram all becomes very clear.
You might also want to load up some stuff with vocals so you can see what voices look like compared to the rest of the music.

Michael,
I kinda forgot all of that stuff I've just gotten so use to knowing what I'm looking for, now if I can just sit down long enough to finish my darn sequences.
