About Spectral Frequency Display
Spectral Frequency Display shows a waveform by its frequency components, where the x-axis (horizontal ruler)
measures time and the y-axis (vertical ruler) measures frequency. This view lets you analyze audio data to see which
frequencies are most prevalent. Brighter colors represent greater amplitude components. Default colors range from
dark blue (low-amplitude frequencies) to bright yellow (high-amplitude frequencies). You can modify display
settings for Spectral Frequency Display using the Spectral Controls panel.
Spectral Frequency Display is perfect for removing unwanted sounds, such as coughs and other artifacts. This is
known as frequency-space editing.

About Spectral Pan Display
Spectral Pan Display shows the pan (left-right stereo) position of every frequency in an audio file, so you can
visualize the sound locations in the stereo plane. The x-axis (horizontal ruler) measures time and the y-axis (vertical
ruler) measures pan position, with the top of the display (-100%) representing full left and the bottom of the display
(100%) representing full right. Brighter colors represent louder audio signals. You can modify display settings for
Spectral Pan Display using the Spectral Controls panel.
