Is there a spectrogram cursor/gridline?

Post by mandalions9 » Sat Sep 15, 2012 2:45 pm

Hello! I am using audacity for a research project, and need to be able to place a cursor/gridline on the spectrogram to mark specific frequencies (i.e. I want to put a horizontal line at 1 kHz and be able to monitor a recording in live time with the line still there). Is this possible? Thanks alot!!!!!

I am using Audacity 2.0.2 on a Windows 7 x 32 SP1. I am recording using an external mic connected to an edirol sound card, firewired into my computer. The sounds I am recording are in the 500 hz to 3 kHz range, with a tonal harmonic structure.

No, but you can zoom in vertically on the track by clicking on the vertical scale:
