MODE-VIEW
========================
Mode-View is a Utility Program for Displaying the Resonant
Frequencies of Listening rooms Using only the AXIAL MODES. Axial
Modes are resonances which build up between two parallel surfaces,
as opposed to Tangential and Oblique Modes which result from sound
waves reflecting around the room in more than 1 dimension (like some
of those fancy Pool shots you see on TV).
Only Axials are shown because they are usually the strongest and
most troublesome MODES. Also, Modes are only displayed from 0 to
500 Hz. Axial MODES along the Length, Width, & Height of the Room
are each displayed with a different line type. If two or more
modes happen to occur at the same frequency (ie: one of the
dimentsions is a multiple of the other), they are shown "Stacked"
on top of each other; this makes the line appear longer at
Multiple Mode Points.
Using Mode View
========
To use Mode-View, Simply Double-Click "modeview.prg" from the
Desktop. The Dialog box at the top of the screen, is where you
enter the room dimensions. When you have entered the dimensions
correctly, click "DO IT" and the plot will appear in the box at
the bottom of the screen. The default dimensions given at the
start produce a nice even, and dense distribution of Axial Modes
on the graph. These numbers were taken from "THE MASTER HANDBOOK
OF ACOUSTICS" by F. Alton Everest, Published by TAB Books. I
really wish my studio had those dimensions!
The Shareware Pitch...
============================
I wrote Mode-View for my own purposes mainly as I recently
Upgraded my studio to 16 Track, and I am sick of my Lousy control
Room Acoustics. If you find Mode-View useful, and want to become
an OFFICIAL user, please send $5.00 to Neo-Sync. In the future, I
may add more calculations to the program like RT60 Reverb time,
Helmholtz Resonator Frequency, etc. If you don't register, I have
no way of getting the upgrades to you. I am trying this shareware
thing out to see if it is really worth the time. So far, it
doesn't seem too good!
Enjoy!!!
