Stereo oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer

AI Thread Summary
To implement a stereo oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer in C or MATLAB, real-time sound wave display can be achieved by sampling audio input, such as speech from a microphone, every 12.5 milliseconds. This sampling rate corresponds to a frequency of 80 Hz, which is adequate for capturing the voice spectrum, typically ranging up to 3000 Hz. To avoid aliasing, the sampling frequency must be at least 6000 Hz, following the Nyquist criterion. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper sampling to ensure accurate representation of audio signals. Effective implementation will require knowledge of audio processing and real-time data visualization techniques.

I need to implement a stereo oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer using C or matlab.. I am familiar with the basic commands regarding wav files in matlab. i also created a very simple music synthesizer.

regarding the stereo oscilloscope, how do you get to display the sound wave in real time?

what i was thinking to do is to have someone speak in a microphone, and this is sampled every for example 12.5ms (determined by sampling freq ) and each point is plotted and the sequence repeats.

You are going to get aliasing at the higher frequencies. The voice spectrum is from 0 to about 3000 Hz which following the Nyquist criteria means that you will have to sample at 6000 Hz.
