How does Raven paging deal with imperfectly continuous data?
I have sound files from a recorder that writes very near continously, but with very tiny 0.0192 s gaps between every 1-minute file. A single 60-sec file with a sample rate of 180 kHz should be ...

How and why do we rescale the input and/or output of an FFT for bioacoustics research?
I am plotting power spectra of echolocation clicks in R and I want to calculate the absolute magnitudes of the power spectra (not normalized dB values relative to the max). My understanding is that ...

Should the sample rate be incorporated when calculating sound exposure levels?
A sound exposure level is defined as the integral of squared pressures, over a defined time-period and frequency range, and it is reported with units of dB re: 1 µPa$^2$s (for water-borne acoustics). ...

Difference between GCC 'flavours'?
I'm trying to use the generalised cross-correlation (GCC) to find time-difference esimates acoss my multi-channel data. I also understand that there are multiple types of GCC (PHAT, SCOT, Roth, Hanan-...

Data augmentation in bioacoustics: pros and cons?
Even though we already have a discussion regarding what kind of data augmentation makes sense for ML in bioacoustics (Data augmentation strategies for bioacoustics machine learning), i believe it ...

Should we normalize audio before training a ML model
In computer vision it seems that image normalization is very important to keep the gradients "in check" (detailed description here). However, I was wondering if it was also the case in audio ...

How do you amplify all sounds in a directory in R?
I am preparing short sound clips to upload to a citizen science data analysis project, and realize that the sound levels are all too low for users to hear properly. I'm familiar with the tuneR and ...

Measuring Energy Flux Density (EFD) - how is the length of a click determined?
When measuring echolocation clicks, there are multiple ways to make some measures of amplitude, for example peak-to-peak, RMS or energy flux density (EFD). Peak-to-peak and RMS are simple, however, I ...
