h2. 6. Analysis Menu and Settings
102 1 Matthias Mauch
103 1 Matthias Mauch
The "Analysis" menu allows you to re-analyse the audio for pitches and notes and to choose some analysis settings.
104 1 Matthias Mauch
105 1 Matthias Mauch
* *Analyse Now!* will run "pYin":/projects/pyin to extract pitches and notes and replaces all currently annotated pitches and notes. While you can undo this, you might still want to consider carefully whether to use this option if you have put a lot of work into annotating notes or pitches.
106 1 Matthias Mauch
* *Auto-Analyse New Audio*. _Tony_ will, by default, analyse any new audio that you load. If you do not want this behaviour, you can de-select it here.
107 1 Matthias Mauch
* *Unbiased Timing (slow)*. By default the "pYin":/projects/pyin analysis is based on ordinary YIN, which has a funky asymmetric window and introduces a small timing bias of up to 5ms. If you need zero time bias, then tick this item. This will be much slower, since this option cannot use the Fast Fourier Transform.
108 1 Matthias Mauch
* *Penalise Soft Pitches*: this option is on by default and reduces the impact of very low-amplitude content, effectively suppressing some spurious pitches. If you don't want this, untick.
