Please, I need this for zooming in on low frequencies.

I also feel like this would be really useful. The loudness scale on the right side is in decibels which is a logarithmic system and we actually hear sound on a log scale (doubling the frequency shifts up by an octave). If you could show markers on the left side for 20 Hz, 120 Hz, 800 Hz, 3 kHz, 21 kHz on a log scale, that'd be awesome.

+1 Log is incredibly useful for musical analytics and phonetics

So, after at least 9 years there is still no way to get a logarithmic frequency scale for this otherwise handy application? Is it that hard to do? Unfortunately i have zero programming skills...

It would be great if it were possible to switch from linear to logarithmic display mode, so that energies at low frequencies could be analysed. Otherwise, it is a very clever little piece of software.

May I ask if anyone is able to implement this feature? It would really help a lot.
