Avisoft Bioacoustics sound recording User manual

Below you will find brief information for sound recording. This document describes how large numbers of .wav files (that have been produced by automated acoustic monitoring systems) can automatically be scanned for specific calls or vocalizations. There are generally two different approaches: multiparametric or template-based procedures. For further details see also the descriptions of the corresponding commands in the manual or the online help system (Help... buttons on the dialog boxes).

Frequently asked questions

The template-based approach involves correlating either the entire spectrogram images or just the frequency contours. You can save spectrograms of the template calls as .son files and use them to classify new recordings.

The multi-parametric approach uses the Automatic Parameter Measurements tool to define classes based on various acoustic parameters of the sound. You can set up classes and apply them to a batch of recordings for automated classification.

You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly move through files in a folder, add annotations, and rename files. You can also use metadata to organize and filter recordings.

You can create spectrograms of recordings in a batch procedure by adjusting settings in SASLab Pro and saving them as BMP or TIF files.
