🔬 Expert Settings

⚠️ Advanced Audio Settings

These settings enhance realism but may impact performance on older devices. Adjust with caution.

Pitch Variation

Base Pitch (Hz)

Pitch Variation (±Hz)

Stations will have random pitches around the base frequency within the variation range.

Timing & Spatial Enhancement

Timing Jitter (±10-20% character spacing) Stereo Panning (spatial separation) Dynamic Compression (prevents clipping) Per-Station QSB (independent fading)

These features add human-like variations and spatial effects to enhance realism.

Performance & Advanced Features

Adaptive Station Limits (auto-detect device performance) Zero-Beat Mode (1-2 stations at identical pitch)

Performance features optimize audio processing; Zero-Beat mode simulates QRM interference.

Enhanced Noise Profiles

Band Profile

Lightning Crashes

Band profiles simulate realistic noise conditions for different bands and times.
