Hello Steve, Thanks for your message. I've found by trial and error that by setting the db to 26 I get an acceptable result. I know that one or two minor barking events may be missed but the louder more persistent ones are found and that's quite sufficient for what I need. Thanks for all your help i...

But Steve those samples had already had the recipe applied to them once your application of it again was a second run. On the original untreated recording Sound Finder would not find then until I increased the silence db to 22

Hello Steve, I'm sorry to be a damned nuisance but could I ask you to have a look at this little file and see if you have any idea at all why Sound Finder can't pick the sounds up please? Just two events from today separated with a few seconds silence. http://www.sendspace.com/file/u1wz61 Kind regar...

Hello Steve, Thanks for your mail I think I might have confused things with the file I uploaded, sorry about that. I've got to be honest and say I'm not all that clear on what your file demonstrates except that your use of the recipe found the sounds whereas on my application of it to the original i...

I did not try to run the procedure after adding the voice description. Do you want me to prepare another file wi...

Hello Steve, I've uploaded two files. The Sunday file contains sample of background, detected barks and undetected barks, I've taken these from the unprocessed original recording. The Monday file contains extracts of undetected barks only from the processed recording. The links are http://www.sendsp...

Hello Steve, Many thanks for the link. Couple of things if I may. In the instructions you gave me I guess the line “"Normalize" effect. Set "Normalize maximum amplitude" to -1 dB” amplifies the recording so that the Sound Finder can pick out the barking events better, could you give me an instructio...

Steve I'd like to make a small donation to support Audacity how do I do that?

Hello again Steve, Many many thanks for your reply it works wonderfully well. I carried out an "analysis" of a 10 hour recording I made the other day and the procedure took just over one hour which would have taken me two or three hours to do manually. The result was that all the barking episodes we...
