Thanks for the detailed explanation, sophiecentaur.

I see. Thanks. So to increase/decrease the volume of a sound , we don't really need the frequency domain data? Time Domain (Voltage levels for amplitude) data is enough? Also, I didn't get the deal with applying the gain factor . How does that translate to a maximum of negative 20db?

Thanks jtbell. When you say "For 16-bit samples", are you referring to values in Time Domain (Voltage) or Frequency Domain?

Thanks for the info. It's just a software, there aren't any specs. Could those decibel values be w.r.t the highest amplitude in the song?

Hi, I am just trying to understand the output of a sound spectrum analyzer. There are three dimensions 1) Time 2) Frequency 3) Volume (db) I am confused about few things here: 1) How should I perceive the volume dimension here? 2) Why are the db values negative here and w.r.t what reference...
