Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported?

There are four distinct versions of Intonia. The Windows and MacOS versions may be downloaded from this website here. The Android version is available from the Google Play Store. The iOS version is available from Apple iTunes Store.

The Linux version is no longer supported.

Can I save my recordings?

Of course! The application was designed to emulate a tape recorder. Choose "Save" from the file menu, and your piece will be saved as as audio file in .WAV format. Choose "Open" from the file menu and you can read any .WAV file. You can reopen files you recorded yourself, or you can read .WAV files you got from any other source, including ripping them from a CD.

You can edit your recording before you save it. Drag the mouse to select a region, or click and shift-click to select a bigger region. The "Copy", "Cut" and "Paste" commands on the Edit menu work as you'd expect them to. You can even copy from one file and paste into a different file. Just be careful, because there's no "Undo."

You can open the saved file using any standard music player such as Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, but you won't see the pitch analysis without Intonia.

Can I analyze recordings of other musicians?

You can read any audio file in .WAV format or .AIFF format and analyze it just as as you analyze recordings you produce yourself. If you have a CD, you'll need to rip it to a .WAV file first.

Is MP3 format supported?

You can read MP3 files, but you can save audio only in WAV format.

Can I analyze YouTube Videos?

If your sound card supports "What You Hear" as an input option, you can play YouTube videos directly into Intonia in real time. However, you must be aware that audio from YouTube has a sample rate of 22.05 KHz, or exactly half the rate of most CDs. If you use Intonia to capture the live recoring, you must set the Sample Rate For Recording on the Audio Tab of the Options dialog to 22,050. In general, whether you use Intonia or some other audio tool to create a file from streaming audio, be sure the sample rate of the file matches the sample rate of the source.

What instruments are supported?

Intonia was developed for string instruments such as violin, viola, and cello. It turns out to work very well with many other instruments as well. We haven't done much experimentation in this area, so try it and see. Let us know what you find out!

We do know that Intonia doesn't do very well with the human voice.

Can I print a screen image?

There is no way to print a screen from within Intonia, but you can use features of your operating system to do it for you.

If you're on Windows, hit the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard, which will place your screen image on the system clipboard. Then use your Start Menu to locate Programs - Accessories - Paint. Type control-V to paste the screen image. You can print it from there, or save it as a file in any of several formats. If you have a favorite image-editing program, you should be able to use it instead of Paint.

On Mac OSX, there are several options available. You can copy the entire screen, or you can copy any rectangular selection. You can place the results in a file on your desktop, or you can copy to the clipboard for pasting into a graphics program. The keys are
