Spectral rolloff is an audio signal processing feature that computes the frequency below which a specified percentage (commonly 85%) of the total spectral energy is concentrated. It operates by accumulating spectral magnitude values in descending frequency order until the energy threshold is met, then reporting the cutoff frequency bin. The feature captures spectral skew — whether energy is concentrated in lower or higher frequencies — and is a standard descriptor in timbre analysis, music information retrieval, and audio segmentation.

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition clearly carves the concept: specifies the mechanism (accumulating spectral magnitudes to find threshold frequency), the typical parameter (85%), and the application domain. Ends with proper trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition properly carves spectral-rolloff: it states the parameter (percentage threshold, commonly 85%), the mechanism (accumulating spectral magnitudes to find the frequency at which that percentage is reached), and how it persists (standardized feature in audio analysis). The definition is specific enough to distinguish it from related spectral features.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition correctly carves spectral rolloff as a feature computing the frequency below which a specified percentage of spectral energy concentrates. The definition states the parameter (percentage, commonly 85%) and the persistence mechanism (computation over spectral magnitudes). The Law 6 trailer is present. Clean definition.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves spectral rolloff with specific parameters (frequency threshold, percentage, commonly 85%), persistence mechanism (accumulating spectral magnitudes), and has proper Law 6 trailer. Well-formed.
