The one in then Windows package is quite bad, as I note in the Instructions on itch.io, but the one at https:\/\/dood.al\/oscilloscope\/ is really good, but requires a bit more set-up unless your sound card has 'stereo-mix' or you have a good audio setup already.\nOr check local ads\/craigslist for a used analgo osci :stuck_out_tongue:","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sgstair","author_uid":"1014241","time":"2017-05-04T06:13:11Z","epoch":1493878391,"modified":1493878391,"text":"Really neat and original idea.
