Hi everyone,
I am writing my MSc thesis about vocal communication in woolly monkeys and I want to make a general description of their different types of calls. I want to obtain various acoustic parameters such as duration, frequency range, low frequency, high frequency, maximum amplitude, average frequency, initial frequency, and final frequency. Hence, I have to analyse my recordings using SoundRuler, but I've never used this software before. I've read the instructions but I have some questions anyway.
- I recorded in stereo, so when I introduce the recording in the software, it asks me if I want to analyse left or right channel. Can I analyse both separately and then calculate the mean of both channels?
- Also, when I introduce the recording, I mark the section that I want to analyse using green bars. Once this section is marked, I proceed to do the analysis. Is it as easy as clicking the "manual" button? When I do it, it appears a table with the different values of the parameters, but I don't know if it is as "simple" as that.
That's all at the moment. Thank you for your answers!
Laura.
