Bat Recording Manager v9.n
Bat Recording Manager is a program to store and display metadata related to recording the ultrasonic calls of bats, although it may also be useful in other areas of bioacoustic recording. When recordings have been analysed and annotated either using Audacity (for longer recordings) or Kaleidoscope (for large numbers of short, automatically triggered recordings), the results of the analyses are read and stored in a local database. <div>Version 9.1 expands on the previous version 8 series by including the ability to perform a pulse train analysis on one or more recordings depending on whether the recordings were analysed with Audacity or Kaleidoscope.</div><div>Pulse train analysis divides a recording into passes and tries to identify peaks in the signal envelope corresponding to bat pulses. It then takes the FFT of the extracted regions and identifies start, end and peak frequencies for the pulse as well as some other useful parameters.</div><div>Results are displayed in exportable tables and also graphically, and the parameters used in extracting and identifying pulses and spectral peaks may be adjusted by the user.</div><div>9.1.7434 is the initial released version but the extraction algorithms and parameters may e refined in the near future.</div><div>9.1.7438 reduces the memory demands when processing large amounts of data and limits pulse train analysis to single files or file groups totalling 1,000,000,000 bytes.(1GB). </div><div>9.1.7442 adds a certificate to allow easier installation and changes the installation location to C:\Echolocation so that the user settable settings for Pulse Train Analysis work correctly and can be saved.</div><div>9.1.7442b - corrects the installer to force installation to c:\Echolocation\</div><div>9.1.7450 - The included Audacity is now upgraded to 2.4.1. The Pulse Train Analyser has its own database to store the results of an analysis so that re-opening a file or folder reloads the information from the database rather than calculating it from scratch. There are also some improvements to the UI in the presentation of the data grids.</div><div>Updated 27/5/20 to include a modified audacity.cfg file since the original one failed with the new 2.4.1.</div><div>9.1.7455 - Fixes some interface issues with Audacity. Loading files and label tracks is now much quicker.</div><div>9.1.7509 - Changes in the Xceed licensing conditions have necessitated changes i some of the UI controls and dependant software, especially DAteTime pickers, Time pickers, and Numerical Up/Down controls. Also fixed som problems with detectting the dates of files, especially when the file dates have been corrupted by copying or moving the files (which corrupts the creation date) and then passing them through Kaleidoscope (which changes the modified date). It is recomended to use Bulkrename to incorporate date and time information into the file name before any moving or copying is done. Also fixed a problem with duplication of Manual ID tags when a file has both wamd and GUANO metadata.</div>
