question about modifying colours

[ben303]

Hi

a question about modifying my colours for the freqanalyst pro spectromgram to a colour curve that I am used to...

I read the "Tutorial - Customize the Colors of your Plugins" and just wanted some more understanding of the colour curve

in the .inc file, the colours are listed

<VARIABLE id="A_color" value="#cc3d3d"/>
<VARIABLE id="B_color" value="#cca73d"/>
<VARIABLE id="C_color" value="#86cc3d"/>
<VARIABLE id="D_color" value="#ffffff"/>


but at what db do each colour correspond to? to I can try to modify them to a similar curve as my other software?

what db is colour A? B? C? D?

or are these just skin colours?

is there a way to choose a colour in the spectrogram for a certain db?


cheers

PS great software, keep up the good work

Hi,

every curve has a single color. So Curves A, B, C and D refer to the color for the curves stored in the memory slots.

To modify the spectrogram, you have 2 colors to choose: the low (-120dB) and high (0dB) colors. The software interpolates other colors in between.

So you need to modify the following lines:

<!-- Spectrogram View Colors -->
<VARIABLE id="spectr_high_color" value="#00ffff"/>
<VARIABLE id="spectr_low_color" value="#000001"/>

If you are having a hard time choosing the colors, if you send us a screenshot of your other software maybe we can try to help you find the right colors.
