Product Description:

FFTea is a real time high resolution spectrum analyzer for MacOS X. It was born as a debugging tool for a sound driver, then it degenerated into something that eats enough CPU, memory and graphic card power to be worthy of release to the unsuspecting world.

It is a surprisingly interesting way to "look" at music, you can see the tempo, melody, bass lines, various instruments (and their harmonics) and balance just at a glance. In fact with little training you can read very interesting things in there. It's also an invaluable tool to pick out stray frequencies, noise sources, clicks and artefacts from a mix.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2
Mac OS X 10.1
Mac OS X 10.0

Additional Requirements:

Active sound input
OpenGL accelerated card, with 16Mb VRAM

I agree with Mashiro, it could definitely use a frequency range tool. I love the program though ... very cool.

An unfolding sonogram. ^_^ The program could use more settings, such as what amplitude/time/frequency scales to use.

I just played some itunes music with this application going and nothing happens. I therefore presume it only works with microphones or incoming sources? Useful to some one somewhere, probably.
