AudioSpectrogram is a powerful audio spectrogram generator that supports various audio formats and produces high-quality spectrograms. Built with Rust, it offers cross-platform support and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Drag-and-drop support on Windows
• Multiple audio format support: WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, AAC, etc.
• High-quality spectrogram generation using Turbo colormap
• Automatic multi-channel audio processing (mixed to mono)
• Precise time and frequency scales
• Complete dB scale display (-120dB to 0dB)
• Customizable FFT size and hop size

Sample Spectrogram

This is a sample spectrogram generated using our tool, showing OneRepublic's "Apologize" (44.1kHz sampling rate). The spectrogram clearly demonstrates:

• Full frequency range (0-22.05kHz)
• Clear time axis markers
• Precise frequency scaling
• Rich dynamic range display (-120dB to 0dB)

• Rust toolchain (recommended installation via rustup)
• Cargo (Rust package manager, included with Rust)
• System requires at least one monospace font:
  • Windows: Consolas
  • macOS: Monaco
  • Linux: DejaVu Sans Mono

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/lmshao/AudioSpectrogram.git
cd AudioSpectrogram

2. Build the project:

cargo build --release

The executable will be available in the target/release directory.

Basic usage:

AudioSpectrogram -i input.mp3

On Windows, you can simply drag and drop an audio file onto the program icon, and it will automatically generate a spectrogram. This is the easiest way to use the program.

Alternatively, specify the file directly in the command line:

AudioSpectrogram input.mp3

• -i, --input <FILE>: Input audio file path
• -o, --output <FILE>: Output image path (optional, defaults to input filename with .png extension)
• -f, --fft-size <SIZE>: FFT size (optional, default: 4096)
• -p, --hop-size <SIZE>: Hop size (optional, default: half of FFT size)

1. Generate spectrogram with default parameters:

AudioSpectrogram -i music.flac

2. Specify output filename:

AudioSpectrogram -i music.flac -o spectrum.png

3. Custom FFT parameters:

AudioSpectrogram -i music.flac -f 8192 -p 2048

The generated spectrogram includes:

• Vertical axis: Frequency scale (kHz)
• Horizontal axis: Time scale (min:sec)
• Right side: dB scale (-120dB to 0dB)
• Color mapping: Using Turbo colormap, red indicates high intensity, blue indicates low intensity
