đēī¸ Interface Overview
SonaLab's interface is like a car dashboard. You don't need to understand the engine â just know "which gauge means what".
The Four Areas at a Glance
| Toolbar (very top) | Start/stop measuring, pick your mic, switch tier level | The car's ignition and dashboard switches |
| Sidebar (left) | Check the charts you want to see (order them like a menu) | The channel list on a TV remote |
| Chart Area (center, main area) | Real-time display of your voice data | The indicators on a health checkup report |
| Playback Bar (bottom) | Record, play back, annotate on the timeline | The progress bar of a music player |
Analogy
đē The sidebar is like a TV remote: check the "channel" (chart) you want to watch over on the left. Uncheck what you don't need and the interface gets cleaner.
Tier Levels Explained
SonaLab has four tier levels, like "unlockable stages" in a game. The higher the tier, the more charts you can see:
| L0 Student (Free) | â Vocal Health Score, â Symptom Detection | For complete beginners |
| L1 Basic | â Pitch ¡ TA/CT ¡ Closure ¡ Depth ¡ Singer's Formant ¡ Waveform | For serious vocal practice |
| L2 Advanced | â Formant Tracking, â Sagittal View ¡ Spectrogram | For deep-diving research |
| L3 Expert | â Three Balances analysis, â Vibrato ¡ AI Diagnosis | For vocal teachers & professionals |
Tip
Just starting out? L0 or L1 is plenty. Once you're comfortable with the basics, unlock more charts step by step.
