BASIC SOUND ANALYSIS
Online Day Course
To make this more accessible/inclusive, and in order to ensure Covid-security, this course will be held online via interractive video-link.
Modern bat detectors have the facility to record bat calls so that you can examine them on a computer later. Analysis of these 'sonograms' is critical to identifying bats to species level, especially if you are part of an ecological consultancy.
​
If you are new to this process of sound analysis and need to increase your knowledge then this one-day CPD course is for you.
We will take you through the following topics;
​
-
Identification of the main species of UK bats;
-
How to analyse a sequence of calls;
-
What parameters to measure;
-
What programs you can use; and
-
The different detectors available.
​
As a beginners course, you do not need any prior experience with sound analysis; the course is open to all.
