New Feature Unlocked

If you undertake acoustic recordings of birds, frogs, land mammals and insects then this new feature is for you!

The new feature looks for vocalisations within long recordings, pulling them out for identification, saving you time as you analyse hours of data. To use this feature, just upload your audio files from your Song Meter recorder, then define what you would like the software to flag as a signal by adjusting parameters such as signal length. Click here
