How to isolate and play sound from Spectrogram

One of the most exciting features of SoundCMD app is the ability to isolate sound from Spectrogram for playback. Frequency analysis is a common task in audio processing and with the Sound CMD Spectrum view it is easy to do.


Can we play a frequency range from an audio spectrogram?
