I just discovered a cool CoolEdit tool that I was unaware of - right click=
the "fast forward" button on your tool bar in the bottom left of the screen=
to set the action of the fast forward/reverse buttons - pretty neat! Has
anyone "found" other hidden aspects of the program they's like to share?
I've also been playing with the "stretch" function a lot lately. Using it
set to "resample", "medium" or "high" precision and "stretch" the wave 2,3,=
or 4X, you can get some remarkable insight into some of the "fast talkers"=
of the world - bat social chatter, marsh wren song, and other fast and
complex vocalizations reveal a lot about their structure when this tool is=
used. Just for fun, download the Mexican Free-tailed bat vocalizations from=
my site at http://www.naturesongs.com/otheranimals.html (click on "This is=
what we hear" in the Mexican Free-tailed Bat paragraph) and try this tool
out - you'll be amazed at what's revealed in that high-speed squeaking!
It's obvious that these bats process acoustic information much, much faster=
than we do!
If you have a fast talking sample that reveals something interesting,
please share it with us.
