Frequency Analysis

Can't find any info on what the Frequency Analysis under the Analyze Menu does or is. Can anyone tell me its use and how to read the Hanning WIndow? Will it help with the EQ process? Mahalo.

There's a lot of information that can be gleaned from the Frequency Analysis menu, but you really do need to have some understanding of how audio signals transform into the frequency domain. You can read up a little bit on Spectrum Analysis here:

If none of that makes sense, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.
