🎧 Waveform

The waveform shows the shape of your sound signal in real time. It reflects how clean or noisy your bansuri tone is.

📈 Pitch Graph

The pitch graph displays the detected musical note (frequency) over time. It helps you track pitch accuracy, transitions, and vibrato.

Tip: Smooth, steady lines = accurate notes. Wobbly lines = pitch instability.
