Some comments below regarding use of Raven for review of detections/selections. Also, to answer Chris T-H's question about the BirdCast transient detector and the energy detector in Raven, the detector in Raven is a port of the old BirdCast detector to Java. They should function similarly if

Hi All, Even though we use Raven and XBAT to analyze our recordings, we also still use GlassOFire to sort the clips as is a quicker and more efficient than sorting within Raven. You will find with any program using settings for export you will have files of slightly different lengths as you

Hi Everyone, I am an engineer chiming in. I have used this technique to clean up a signal. Technically, it is pretty simple to subtract out a "noise" signal. The hard part is getting a signal which is the exact "noise" you want to subtract. By exact I mean it has the equivalent gain, and

I agree with Eric that work flow is a major consideration, and GlassOFire is also a key tool for me. I set it up so that I see 36 sonograms on the screen at a time (2400 x 1600 twps). At these settings I can easily separate the obvious noise and the calls, and I can clear out the katydids
