I'm
currently building a small library of bird vocalisations.
Mp3 versions of the original wave recordings made in
the field can be sampled here. These sound recordings
have been made using various pieces of gear from a minidisc
recorder coupled with an inexpensive microphone
to professional Sennheiser and Roland equipment. Field
recordings have been cut and prepared for the web with
MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab.
Field notes and recording data, including GPS readings,
are compiled in a database.
Accompanying most sound recordings is a corresponding
sonogram for all or part of the sample. A sonogram is a visual representation of
sound in a graphical form with frequency (analogous to pitch) in Hertz (wave
cycles of sound per second) on the y-axis, and time (in seconds) on the x-axis.
These sonograms have been produced using Syrinx software
(www.syrinxpc.com)
which allows real-time spectrographic recording, analysis
and playback. I then label or annotate the sonogram
bitmap images in Adobe Photoshop.
Some
recordings are also uploaded to Xeno-Canto
and SoundCloud.
