Not sure if you can actually do that, Matt. I just got the software and hav=
e spent very little time with it. Technically, it might be possible and the=
re are many YouTube videos that could probably answer that question. Dan Du=
gan may know the answer to that, also.
Yes, I am familiar with Gunn=92s excellent collection. Depending on the qua=
lity of the recording, one of the apps you might try is Adobe Audition (spe=
ctrogram mode). I=92ve been able to abstract individual signals (birds, amp=
hibians, insects, mammals) out of the biophony, often with pretty remarkabl=
e results, reassembling them in a quasi-stereo format, while, at the same t=
ime maintaining continuity and context.
Takes a lot of work, to be sure. But the result can be pretty convincing.
Also, I have quite a bit of material from Algonquin Park=85especially a rec=
ent recording of two packs of wolves converging on where I was recording on=
e spring morning a few years ago. I first got to Algonquin Park in 1953 and=
paddled with 11 others from the Brent/Lavier Circuit in the north, all the=
way to James Bay from late July to late August.=85about 300 miles. Except =
for those in our group, we never saw another human, a road, a car, a plane,=
in 30 days. The waters were so clear that you could see fish 20 or so feet=
below the surface of the water.
