canary software

Canary is a software tool for the digital acquisition, manipulation, analysis, and measurement of sound on Macintosh computers, running Mac OS 9.x and earlier versions. Canary was developed by BRP with support from the National Science Foundation to provide a user-friendly research and teaching environment tailored to the needs of biologists working with acoustic signals. Many of the capabilities provided by Canary have previously been available only in very expensive software packages. Canary's user interface and documentation are designed to make these features accessible to users who may not have extensive backgrounds in acoustics or signal processing, without sacrificing the power and rigor demanded by sophisticated users.
