Alright i just made an interesting discovery.
Did you know windows media player has many forms of visualizations? It's either i am ignorant, lazy, or most people don't know about this. Because for the many times i am exposed to others using windows media player, they always stick to this visualizer > battery > randomization.
I just happened to right click on the visualizer itself, and woo la there, i found out about this. I was pretty surprise to learn that windows media player visualizer corresponds directly to the music itself. Like DIRECTLY. The common visualizer would have shown such signs, but i you may say, am ignorant, therefore i pay little attention to such patterns till i made this discovery.
And secondly i didn't have very high hopes for windows media player.
Please note i am no sound engineer or technician, hence i am unsure of the appropriate terms that refer to certain sound waves.
Try this, right click on the visualizer itself > Bars and waves > Ocean mist.
The left bars, are responsible for drums, snare, and bass. I think this is the section where the treble is. The far right corner, is this little bar, that corresponds to the above settings as well, but also to distortion. And the middle section, corresponds to the keyboard. Background vocals are slightly to the right, they are beside the keyboard bars. Vocals is right beside the background vocals. Guitars too. I guess this is the section where the acoustics lies.
Actually is pretty easy to tell which is where, just used your ears and listen what is missing. Listen to which instruments or vocals come in and how it corresponds to the bars and waves. It varies from music to music. So don't expect this to apply to all kinds of music, i was only listening to linkin park's minutes to midnight album and i made the above recognitions.
Go play with it, if you are bored. But first get a pair of UBER good earphones, those that block out all kinds of external noise. Next get a good sound/audio software, then you can try using different kinds of sounds and then you can see the difference. Its nice to give your ears some exercise after listening to all those rubbish from your teachers. HAHA. oops.
Maybe i might consider being a sound technician one of those things i like and might spend time learning about. From what i know, i have excellent voice recognition, literally. I can play your exact voice in my head. Exact! Frequency, pitch.
Pretty confident, if you ever give me a voice testing game, testing who is speaking, provided i know the person whom is speaking and he or she is not sick. I can give you the name. And i guess i would be 95% correct.
