Export data as text?

[Toby Newman]

Just discovered Friture, very impressed with how nicely it runs!

Is there any way to export the numerical data from the realtime FFT?

This would be like the "Export" button in Audacity's freqency analysis window, which outputs two columns of frequency and magnitude to a *.csv file

Dear Toby,

That sounds like a possible addition. So for example the export buttons would be only displayed when paused ? And for each audio widget, they would export a csv of the current data ? Would that fit what you have in mind ?

Thanks!

Yes, that would be a great implementation.

Currently Friture excels at showing what's happening "live". It is lacking in storing measurements and showing how they have changed over time. Being able to export the data in *.csv would allow the user to see a "before" and "after" following some EQ work.

I created a GitHub issue based on this discussion: https://github.com/tlecomte/friture/issues/63
Given the limited time I can spend on this project, I can't promise anything, but it is definitely something that would be nice to have. The GItHub issue will help keep a trace of the project.

Thanks for your suggestion!

I want to be able to average the values of multiple measurements from other people, locations, or other moments in time. 
I could do that with Exported text values from Friture... if that exporting values by band, etc. implementation happens.  (The software I currently work with exports RTA as .txt .)

The next bonus on top of being able to export a single measurement would be to save it to a temporary memory location in Friture. 

If Friture had text exporting ability and temporary memory storage for visual recall, comparison, etc and then allowed us to interact with multiple saved memories all at the same time through selective addition, subtraction, averaging etc. options it would be an even more amazing and powerful tool.

(I use RTA measurements from multiple locations throughout a venue to determine the average speaker system / room response.  Then I currently average all of these individual measurements together in TrueRTA software.  With the average system response, I can create and inverse curve through subtraction that allows me to correct the heard combined system & room bias in each new location. 
TrueRTA software is affordable and works for me... because I'm a Windows guy.  But I have lots of friends and churches that I know that are all Mac, so I can't recommend TrueRTA to them to duplicate my process with on their Mac devices.  I work with lots of non-profits.  So an open source, and multi-platform, application like Friture with these additional features would be ideal / amazing.)
