VoiceLab v1.3.1 has been released.

Check out the changes and get your copy here: https://github.com/Voice-Lab/VoiceLab

VoiceLab is free, open source software that provides reproducible, automated voice analysis, visualizations, and manipulations.

I'm preparing another release of VoiceLab. Just need to compile on Windows.

Anyways the new release modifies Cepstral Peak Prominence to measure only voiced frames (with an option to turn this off for whatever reason), fixes for energy where it wouldn't work on compiled versions, and API updates for command line interface users.

Vocal fry really plays havoc with STRAIGHT's spectrogram. Normally you can't see harmonics, but when there is fry, it is highly notable.

Here's a running spectrogram with sound, featuring three of the birds from the Twelve Days of Christmas (recorded in May...)!

I’ve been using these wintery days to sort through the many sound files taken this year. Lots of bats, birds and insects. This one really stood out as being seasonally appropriate, so I thought I’d share it for fun.

This was recorded in France in late May and features Nightingale and Redstart song, but also:
Sound 4: Blackbird (Colly bird)
Sound 3: A French “hen” (ok, it’s a cockerel, but they make more noise…)
Sound 2: Turtle dove

I've begun a complete rewrite of the VoiceLab backend. It's enough hacking. Time to start from scratch. I won't change the measurements or anything... Just the GUI and the data pipeline to accommodate multiprocessing, and in doing so, I'll tidy up the codebase.

While I'm developing (will likely take many months), have a look at my latest release:
