Hi Recordist, maybe this information about an acoustic analysis software
could be interesting for you.
Saludos desde Mexico

     You are cordially invited to download and evaluate Sound Ruler, a
free program for bioacoustics.

WEBPAGE & DOWNLOAD.................................................

WHAT IS SOUND RULER? ..............................................

     Sound Ruler is an analysis, graphing and teaching tool for
bioacoustics. It is a side project to a Ph.D. thesis on acoustic
communication in frogs, at the University of Texas.

     Sound Ruler is open code, multiplatform and free.

     Its visual interactive approach brings you the control of manual
analysis and the objectivity and speed of automated analysis.

     Sound Ruler gives special attention to simple, repetitive sounds,
that can be quickly analyzed in great detail pulse by pulse for studies
on populational variation.

     It is developed by Marcos Gridi-Papp with support from the Center
for Perceptual Systems, and the Physalaemus project (NSF) at the
University of Texas and from CAPES - Brazil. It is based at Dr. Michael
Ryan's laboratory at the University of Texas.

     Sound Ruler did not cause a single computer crash, freeze, memory
error or registry corruption in the last 12 months of development and
tests. It has no garanties, however. Use it at your own risk.

MAIN FEATURES......................................................

ANALYSIS

     Unrestricted sound file size
     Manual, automatic, or interactive recognition and measurement of
calls and pulses (35 variables per pulse)
     Sound recognition based on amplitude, duration, frequency and/or
interval
     Adjustable low-pass, high-pass or band-pass real-time filtering
     Tuning curve complex filtering
     Cross correlation analysis (simple and 2 dimensional)
     Amplitude calibration


GRAPHING..........................................................

     Oscilograms, spectrograms and power spectra.
     Editable and resizable figures with a refresh function for batch
graphing.
     Copy figures and paste them into your text or image editor as
bitmaps and metafiles.
     Export figures to seven bitmap and metafile formats, compressed or
not.


INTERACTIVE MEASUREMENT...........................................

     Measurements taken automatically are displayed graphically.
     You accept measurements, skip the call or change settings and
reanalyze.
     Easy navigation over previous results.
     Four options for saving data: mouse log, textpad, spreadsheet or
relational database.
     Save raw measurements, calculated results and/or settings.


TEACHING..........................................................

     Explore acoustic scenarios with Sound Math.
     No-edit graphing, filtering, tuning curve and CCA.
     Highly visual interface.
     Extensive help files with step-by-step illustrated examples.
