sndpeek For Mac

sndpeek is a minimalist OS X application that offers you the possibility to visualize sounds in real time. The utility provides a separate window for viewing the audio in a 3D animated form, and you can control the output via keyboard commands.

The sndpeek 3D animation automatically registers the sounds captured by your microphone and allows you to see the waveform modifications. Note that sndpeek opens a window for the visualization while in the Terminal window you can see usage instructions.

Via the command line, you can direct sndpeek to create 3D animations for a particular WAV, AIFF, SND, RAW or MAT audio file. If no particular file is indicated by the user, the application starts listening to your microphone.

Within the sndpeek visualizer, you can rotate the 3D waveform animation by using your mouse, or switch to full-screen mode. However, the other customization options are available only through keyboard commands.

sndpeek offers you the possibility to freeze the frame, to toggle the waveform, lissajous, wutrfall, and waterfall display, to restart the file playback, to move the spectrum, to increase or decrease the spacing, to scale the spectrum up and down, and much more.

All the supported keyboard commands are displayed in the sndpeek Terminal window, but to be able to use them you need to have the sndpeek visualizer window active.

To conclude, sndpeek offers you the possibility to analyze different sounds with the help of a 3D animation. The utility can work with particular audio files, or with the sounds captured by your microphone.

Sndpeek integrates numerous customization options that can be used to personalize the output in order to better illustrate certain effects.
