[CAUT] Piano Spectrum

[michael.wathen]

If you provide me with the sound samples (MP3), I will perform a Spectrum Anlaysis of sound files for you.  I  believe that RCT pianalzer is a linear FFT spectrum which will not provide you with enough detail.  You need a logarithmic FFT spectrum to really see the difference.
