How do I convert a certain HZ range to DB?

[XiMe]

Hi!

I want to split the entire frequency range, for example 1000 hz.
And find out the volume of each section. In db. Or in some relative value.

I have a "Cutof" module ripped out of the compressor, but that's not what I need.

Eventually I want to make a mastering plugin. Analyse the reference, and automatically twist the EQ under it.

Help solve the problem.


This is similar to:
izotope tonal balance control

Don't know if this will help or not but a simple solution would be to filter the signal with both a low-pass and high-pass and then measure (with a picometer?) the filtered signal. Keep in mind depending on the filter the measuring won't be 100% accurate.

I wrote this because I needed to measure 1/3 octave bands for an arbitrary amount of time, so the RMS calc only has a manual reset. But if you take the RMS calc from a standard compressor plug, that will give you control of the windowing.

This is an IIR implementation and of course wasn't designed for audio output. If you want much tighter control than 1/3 octave you'll probably want an FFT approach instead.

DynamicPhase, If it's about the cutoff that can be found as a module in the compressor, I've tried it. It's not the right one. But thanks for the tip!

Ooh, that looks like just the thing! Thank you very much.

I'm just looking for an arbitrary moment. And I don't need the sound output through this thing. Just a frequency gap analysis.
That's very cool!
