⚙️ Engine View

This group of charts shows you "how your voice is produced". Like a car's engine monitor, it tells you the RPM, how deep the throttle goes, and whether the exhaust flows freely.

Analogy

🚗 Picture your voice box as an engine: the vocal folds are the "cylinders", airflow is the "fuel", and sound is the "exhaust". The Engine View is this engine's dashboard.

🎵 Pitch — What Note Are You Singing?

This gauge tells you the name of the note you are singing (e.g., C4, A3) and how far off it is.

Analogy

🎯 Like the bullseye in archery. Needle dead center = spot-on pitch; leaning left or right = a touch flat or sharp.

Note name + green	Great intonation	Keep it up!
Needle leans left	Slightly flat	Gently "aim" a bit higher — do not push
Needle leans right	Slightly sharp	Relax a little — no need to tense up

🫘 TA/CT Balance — The "Thickness Dial" of Your Voice

An olive-shaped slider: TA (thick voice) on the left, CT (thin voice) on the right.

Analogy

🎸 Think of guitar strings. Thick strings (TA) sound deep and rich; thin strings (CT) sound bright and slender. Your vocal folds are like a single string that can grow "thicker or thinner". The slider tells you which way your folds are leaning right now.

Leaning left (more TA)	Thick, powerful, speech-like	Low register, speaking, belting
Middle	Balanced mix — most comfortable	Mid register, pop singing
Leaning right (more CT)	Light, bright, hum-like	High register, falsetto, soft singing

Tip

When you sing higher, the cursor naturally drifts to the right. That's normal! The key is a smooth transition — no sudden "jumps".

🤝 Vocal Fold Closure — How Tight Is the Tap?

Closure tells you whether your vocal folds come together exactly as much as they should.

Analogy

🚿 Picture your vocal folds as a faucet. Screwed too tight (extrinsic compensation) = the flow chokes and the sound squeezes; too loose (insufficient closure) = water gushing out and the sound goes airy. The sweet spot is "just right" — the flow runs smooth and strong.

Pressed 🔴	Tight throat, squeezed sound, tired voice after singing	Try lip trills (brrr) to relax
Flowing 🟢	Open, clear sound, comfortable to sing	Great! Hold on to that feeling
Breathy 🟠	Airy, leaking, no power	Try "Gug" exercises to firm up closure

🏊 Depth — The "In-the-Water" Feel of Your Voice

Depth measures how "sunk-in" and "in-the-mic" your voice is. A voice with good depth sounds full and has real presence.

Analogy

🔔 Strike a big bell vs. a small handbell. The big bell rings deep and full (good depth); the handbell is crisp but thin (not enough depth). Depth is how much "big bell" there is in your voice.

💎 Singer's Formant Monitor — The Carrying Power of Your Voice

The Singer's Formant Monitor measures whether your voice can "cut through" the accompaniment and reach the listener clearly.

Analogy

📢 In a noisy restaurant, some people you can always hear clearly (good formant) while others get drowned in the din (insufficient formant). The singer's formant is that "carrying power" in a voice.

Good formant 🟢	Voice carries, easily heard
Insufficient formant 🟠	Muffled, lacking brightness
Excessive formant 🔴	Sharp and piercing — too hot

🌊 Waveform · Loudness · Onset

Waveform — the "EKG" of your sound. Bigger waves = louder sound; denser waves = higher pitch.

Loudness — a simple volume meter. Green = healthy, red = too loud.

Onset Detective — every time you start a note, your vocal folds go through a "start-up" moment. The Onset Detective checks whether that start-up is healthy.

Analogy

👏 Think of clapping. A hard smack (hard onset) = the sound attacks; hands gliding together to meet (balanced onset) = the sound starts naturally; hands slowing to a feather-touch (soft onset) = the sound comes out airy.

Hard onset 🔴	Opens too hard — like a little "cough"
Balanced onset 🟢	Natural, comfortable, clean
Soft onset 🟠	Airy at the start — like a sigh
