Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display control device includes a control unit that displays a sound pressure level distribution of predetermined sound data and a recordable range corresponding to a quantization bit depth during recording of the sound data on a display unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A display control device comprising a control unit that displays a sound pressure level distribution of sound data and a recordable range corresponding to a quantization bit depth during recording of the sound data on a display unit. 2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit acquires the sound pressure level distribution. 3. The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit resets and reacquires the sound pressure level distribution depending on a predetermined processing. 4. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the sound pressure level distribution indicates a frequency of occurrence of peak levels per unit time of the sound data. 5. The display control device according to claim 4 , wherein the control unit displays the frequency of occurrence of the peak levels per unit time via a color or a graph. 6. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit displays the sound pressure level distribution and the recordable range at respective positions close to each other. 7. The display control device according to claim 6 , wherein the control unit displays another recordable range corresponding to a higher quantization bit depth than the quantization bit depth to cause the other recordable range to be superimposed on the recordable range. 8. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit displays information regarding a compressor on the display unit. 9. The display control device according to claim 8 , wherein the information regarding the compressor includes at least information regarding an operation start point of the compressor. 10. The display control device according to claim 8 , wherein the control unit displays the recordable range and the information regarding the compressor with a figure whose shape changes. 11. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit displays the recordable range with a rectangular frame. 12. The display control device according to claim 11 , wherein facing sides of the rectangular frame correspond to a full scale and a noise floor, respectively. 13. The display control device according to claim 11 , wherein the control unit displays information regarding a compressor in the rectangular frame. 14. The display control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a recording unit that records the sound data corresponding to an inside of the recordable range. 15. The display control device according to claim 1 , further comprising the display unit. 16. A display control method comprising displaying a sound pressure level distribution of sound data and a recordable range corresponding to a quantization bit depth during recording of the sound data on a display unit, by a control unit. 17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to execute operations, the operations comprising: displaying a sound pressure level distribution of sound data and a recordable range corresponding to a quantization bit depth during recording of the sound data on a display unit, by a control unit; and displaying information regarding a compressor on the display unit, wherein the recordable range and the information regarding the compressor are displayed with a figure whose shape changes.
