METADATA
This is an automated recording station.
1. Microphone - SMX-NFC with a 16 bit sampling format and 24,000 Hz sampling rate
2. Recording Equipment - Song Meter 2+ by Wildlife Acoustics
3. Sound Analysis Software - Raven Pro 1.5 alpha
4. Flight Call Extraction – Raven Pro Band Limited Energy Detectors with the following settings: high frequency detector is 5800-11000 Hz, 23-395 ms duration, 104 ms minimum separation, 25% minimum occupancy, 3.5 dB signal/noise ratio threshold, noise power estimation is 4992 ms block size, 244 ms hop size, 50th percentile; low frequency detector is 2250-3750 Hz, 35-325 ms duration, 58 ms minimum separation, 20% minimum occupancy, 3.5 dB signal/noise ration threshold, noise power estimation is 998 ms block size, 244 ms hop size, 50th percentile.
5. Flight Call Identification and Review – Aurally and visually using Raven Pro Review Panel with the following spectrogram parameters: Context window is Hann 128 samples, 247 Hz 3 dB filter bandwidth, 79.7% overlap, 26 samples hop size, 256 samples DFT size, 86.1 Hz grid spacing; Thumbnails are Hann 256 samples, 124 Hz 3 dB filter bandwidth, 87.5% overlap, 32 samples hop size, 256 samples DFT size, 86.1 Hz grid spacing
6. Notes:
As currently formatted the import file is rejected. I'm sure the problem is with the line breaks. But without line breaks the whole thing is hard to read.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to format this metadata correctly so it is not rejected? I would prefer to have this data in every record, especially since it can change from time to time.
Thanks,
John
