How can you tell what Frequency a song is playing?

[85montecl]

Im new to all of this and i always see people saying that a certain song peaks at a certain frequency (Ex. Put on 25hz)....Is there a program to tell you how low it gets? Thanks in advance

Yes, you can use Audacity like arnold said. Just import the song, highlight the part you want to check the frequency, click on "Analyze" at the top, then click on "Plot Spectrum", change the "Size" to 16384, then change the "Axis" to Log Frequency

There really should be a sticky just for this question but,

Open Audacity

Choose Project then Import Audio

Zoom in once and highlight 5 secs of the song, this will be most accurate, Decaf tought me this

Then go to Analyze and choose Plot Spectrum

settings:

algorithm: spectrum

size: 16384

axis: log frequency

then put ur mouse over the graph and it will show the different peaks and below the graph will say the freq level and db level, make sure your mouse is right on the line of the peak
