In either case Speech Analyzer will display a view of the audio recording. At the bottom of Speech Analyzer the following items are shown: Sampling Frequency of 22,050; 16 Bits per second.</p> <p>Frequency and pitch are related. Frequency measures the cycle per second of the waveform, pitch is how high or low sound is. The higher the frequency of a waveform, the higher the pitch of the sound you hear.</p> <p>Question <span class="hashtag">#2</span></p> <p>2ndly is it possible to apply the parameters of one sound clip to another sound clip.
