    Looking for a frequency chart

    Hey guys,

    I am looking for a frequency chart I know I've seen before but can't find; it graphs the frequency ranges commonly referred to by such terms as 'upper bass', 'lower midrange', 'upper midrange', etc on a 20-20kHz log plot. If anyone knows the graph I'm talking about, I would mucho appreciado any help in finding it.

    I couldn't find one already made...so I built one

    I'm not sure that the transition frequencies between "zones" are set in stone, but I did find one breakdown on an EQ site.

        Could someone post a link to one with the Freq. Range of Instruments.

        I've seen these before but I can't locate one...google didn't help much.

        I know TAS had a nice one...as did many other authors / sources.

        Thanks.

          I've got one in Everest's book... I also ran across one online earlier today. I'll look for it later.

                    I couldn't get at it directly but I could get a directory listing of http://www.makinmusic.net/enter/images/ and then click the Voice-Instrument file.

                      This is *the* "chart" I have in mind when dealing with (explaining to) fellow engineers/musicians/audiophiles. I think it should be acclaimed as *law* when dealing with audio-re(cording/production). IMHO, this categorisation (good word ?) into freq. bands translates well into what actually is heard or can be heard.

                        Here is a smaller one on Bob Katz web site



                        Might as well check out his "Articles" section and CD honor roll while you're there also. Lots of good reading. His system(and room) is one of the tops that I've heard.

                          Just one comment regarding charts showing frequency ranges of musical instruments. They usually are just showing the range of musical notes, fundamentals, not the rest of the spectra. That might be misleading if you are interested in the frequency range of the what you are actually hearing from a particular instrument.

                          Take a look at this graphic showing spectra taken from a recording of a trumpet.

                          I don't know anything more about the data underlying that graphic than what is already described in the brief associated paper at the following link.
                          At least one member of each instrument family (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion) produces energy to 40 kHz or above, and the spectra of some instruments reach the measurement limit of 102.4 kHz. Survey includes trumpet, French horn, violin, oboe, crash cymbals, sibilant speech, claves, a drum rimshot, triangle, jangling keys, and piano. Includes short description of others' work on perception of air- and bone-conducted ultrasound; and points out that even if ultrasound be taken as having no effect at all on perception of live sound, yet its presence may still pose a problem to the audio equipment designer and recording engineer.
